😫 3 Exercise Mistakes That Aren’t Helping Your Skin⁣ ⁣ You’re “doing everything right”: you’re dedicated to your work and side hustle (or hustles!) and still make it to a studio for an a.m. sweat sesh and lift in the evening. You have a skincare regimen that would make any beauty editor swoon. ⁣ But you’re still breaking out 😞.⁣ ⁣ That you? Read on.⁣ ⁣ Here are 3 common mistakes I notice with boss babes who are crushing it in the gym, but still have frequent breakouts: ⁣ 1️⃣ OVER EXERCISING 🏋🏻‍♀️: Going hard in 1-2 workouts a day every week can make inflammation worse. More isn’t always better! Hardcore HIIT + circuit-style classes like Orange Theory and Crossfit can also prioritize performance over individuals’ needs. ⁣ ⁣ If you feel wiped out (beyond usual muscle soreness) after exercise and deal with acne or other persistent inflammation like bloat, no progress in weight loss...you may need to scale back those classes.⁣ ⁣ 2️⃣ LACK OF SLEEP 😴 : You may love that 6a.m. HIIT class, but if you’re sleep deprived or rarely logging 7-8hrs your performance and skin health can suffer. And no, compensating with extra caffeine ain’t better. If you missed valuable sleep, consider restorative movement like 🧘🏻‍♀️light yoga or 🚶🏻‍♀️walking instead.⁣ ⁣ 3️⃣ UNDER EATING 🍽 : We need nourishing food, even if weight loss is a goal! The right balance of 🥑 quality fats, 🥩 protein, and 🍠🥦carbohydrates will keep you satiated, blood sugar stable, and help heal skin. Make sure you’re eating enough for your body and activity levels.⁣ ⁣ 😱 The common thread with these mistakes? STRESS. ⁣ ⁣ ❗️Your body reacts to emotional/mental AND physical stress in the same way. Excess stress affects your gut health, energy, hormones, and...your skin! ⁣ ⁣ 💁🏻‍♀️ I’m not a personal trainer. But as a nutritional therapist I look at the FULL PICTURE of my clients’ health: her nutrition AND lifestyle (movement, sleep, stress, and more) to hone in on root cause of symptoms like acne. We connect the dots together in the Nutrition & Lifestyle Audit of my Root Cause Reset Program (RCR).⁣ ⁣ 💌 Enrollment for RCR is closed, but DM me “💪🏼” to get details + hop on the waitlist!⁣ Are you “all-or-nothing” with goals 👀? I admire the hustle, but gotta tell you:⁣ ⁣ 👎🏼 That mindset is not sustainable in making new goals or habits and can set you up for self-sabotage if you fall off track.⁣ ⁣ “Welp, I suck and didn’t grocery shop or prep lunch for tomorrow. Guess I’ll just batch cook next week…” 😫⁣ ⁣ Sound familiar?⁣ ⁣ 🌟 Every day you get to start again and recommit to doing something for your health, however small.⁣ ⁣ 💪🏼 Small steps are still progress! You didn’t get to where you are overnight, there’s no shortcut out 🤷🏻‍♀️.⁣ ⁣ For example - wanna give up your daily diet soda?⁣ ⁣ ☝🏼Start with ditching it at lunch 1x a week. Then eliminate it twice ✌🏼the next. And so on.⁣ ⁣ Same goes for adding new habits to your routine like workouts or meal prepping:⁣ ⁣ 👩🏻‍🍳 If you’re used to grabbing a morning pastry or dine out often, start with JUST prepping breakfast for a few days: A frittata, dinner leftovers, blender-ready smoothie pack (with healthy fats, protein, and greens) 🤤. Those are all accessible options AND you’ll start your work day by balancing your blood sugar and (in turn) your energy.⁣ ⁣ 🤔 What’s one small thing you can start (or start again) tomorrow? Tell me in the comments!⁣ ⁣ 👉🏼👉🏼👉🏼 Swipe to see my full thoughts about “New Year, New Body” resolutions in @playboy. Yes, they have some good articles! The advice in this one by @sexologistmegan applies to ALL humans 💕.⁣ . . #easymealprep #womeninbusiness #whole30tips #21daysugardetox #newyearnewyou 🛒GROCERY CRAWL STRATEGY: Whether you’re a batch cook boss, or make dinner every night: ya need a plan 💥.⁣ ⁣ Yes, even if you work from home or for yourself! Because, let’s face it, it’s easy to say you’ll finish “1 more thing” and emerge from work 2hrs later when hangry strikes 😫.⁣ ⁣ Without a plan or prepped meals it’s easy to open the fridge hoping the food will cook itself, or turn to convenient takeout 🥡 .⁣ ⁣ HOW TO MENU PLAN FOR THE WEEK⁣ Here’s my ideal process - add in a couple of these steps to get the hang of it and, eventually, you’ll nail the process like a pro.⁣ ⁣ FRIDAY⁣ 🤔 Think about the upcoming week. What event/dining out commitments do you have? Will you be working from home or on the road? Then draft a Simple Menu arranged by these buckets: 🥩proteins, 🧀fats, 🍠carbs (including 🥦veggies!), snacks.⁣ ⁣ (Thinking of versatile components for each category helps ensure you check all nutrient-dense bases.)⁣ ⁣ 💥 Kitchen Clean Out: Don’t play fridge Jenga. Take everything out, remix any leftovers! Frittata and stir fry are your friend. Note any low or missing staples.⁣ 📝 Make a list, check it twice: Think of your Simple Menu and what needs restocking. If you divide and conquer shopping with your partner or housemate - I love the Wunderlist app⁣ ⁣ SATURDAY⁣ 🛒 Grocery Crawl!⁣ 💦 Thaw proteins, wash veggies!⁣ Bonus: Batch cook a couple of items!⁣ ⁣ SUNDAY⁣ 😉 If you need bulk-items / are a Costco member, 2018: THANK U, NEXT! If you could travel to 1/1/18, what would you tell yourself?⁣ ⁣ New Year intentions are cool (and 💯 optional), but reflecting on growth – however small – from the year is a reminder of how far you’ve come.⁣ ⁣ 💪🏼 Chances are there are non-scale victories you overlooked.⁣ ⁣ Maybe you didn’t celebrate small health or mindset wins because you were on to the next thing on your list 📝.⁣ ⁣ 💕 It’s ok to be your hype woman! What message would you tell yourself, and what are you proud of this year?⁣ ⁣ 👉🏼 I’d tell past Diane to trust the process and stop pretending that perfectionism is a strength. All-or-nothing mentality can self-sabotage success and play is important. ⁣ In 2018 I’m proud I…⁣ ❤️ Founded @primalretreats with dear friends @maryochsner and @sexologistmegan. We hosted several events with amazing local ladies.⁣ ⁣ 💄 Grew with @beautycounter, a mission-driven company that I’m passionate about. We were the top Googled beauty brand in 2018!⁣ ⁣ 👩🏻‍🏫 Worked with some amazing clients – honored to be a part of their health journeys. ⁣ 💪🏼 Spent a lot of time growing in my uncomfortable zone: did some public speaking, went on live tv! Still scary, but didn’t barf or die. ⁣ On a personal note!⁣ 💕 I’m so thankful for the love and support from my husband Neil – he’s the best and his drive inspires me.⁣ 🏡 We renovated the heart of our home, and backyard. I can’t wait to host more guests.⁣ ⛰ I climbed a mountain and rode horses into the sunset with Neil in Arizona.⁣ 🐶 I spent lots of quality time with our pups Huey and Doug while workin’ in sweatpants.⁣ 😂 Doug and I were on a podcast for his signature scream.⁣ ⁣ 💋 Very grateful for the support of amazing solopreneur women like @catbackyrbeautiful, @iconoclasp, @topsievandenbosch, @melanie_morton, @blis_by_ris, @realfoodliz @dianesanfilippo @rachelbell in this being boss journey. ⁣ 🎆 HAPPY NEW YEAR Y’ALL🎇⁣ . #betterbeauty #herecomesdoug #ntatraining #beautycounter I’m so excited to launch my signature Root Cause Reset program!

Friendly reminder that you aren’t “bad” or “lazy” for indulging over the holidays. 🙅🏻‍♀️NO plate police 🚔 – including plate shamin’ from you to you.⁣ ⁣ If you aren’t feeling great 👉🏼 remember: symptoms👏🏼 are👏🏼information👏🏼.⁣ ⁣ ⁣Symptoms (& thoughts) are neutral until we assign a feeling to them. I know it’s easy to use our negativity bias (especially for Type A / perfectionists – I see you 👀), but YOU can decide the story to tell.⁣ ⁣ ⁣(Side note: can we bring back those choose your own adventure novels, btw?)⁣ ⁣ ⁣It may sound silly, but reframing is empowering! For example, this👇🏼:⁣ ⁣ 👎🏼😔 “I feel foggy, exhausted, and I’m SO bloated after the holiday party. I need to run off those cinnamon rolls, stat. Better double up on yoga and HIIT this week.”⁣ ⁣ Can instead be...⁣ ⁣ 👍🏼☺️ “I enjoyed homemade cinnamon rolls with my family – a Christmas tradition that I look forward to every year. I’ll get back to the exercise/movement I enjoy when I’m ready.”⁣ ⁣ 1. Exercise shouldn’t be a punishment and 2. Symptoms👏🏼 are👏🏼information👏🏼.⁣ ⁣ Maybe you like cheese boards, but the feeling ain’t mutual – so your stomach hurts after you eat it. Or you crash an hour after lunch. Notice mood + symptoms for future reference.⁣ ⁣ This is why I LOVE using Food and Mood Journals with my nutrition clients. In their Nutrition & Lifestyle Audit we connect the symptom dots together, without judgement – and make a specific, Custom Wellness Plan for their unique needs and goals.⁣ ⁣ I’m their hype woman first 🙌🏼, nutritional therapist second 👩🏻‍🏫.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ 🙋🏻‍♀️ If you want 1:1 support, I have 6 Beta spots left for my 90 Day Root Cause Reset program. 💕If ya missed info in last week’s newsletter, program details are coming in tomorrow’s post! ⁣ . . #beingboss #almost30nation #sheboss #grandrapidsmi #grandrapidsmichigan
