🌠 Magnesium bedtime routine for the best sleep:

1. Magnesium bath soak- put some magnesium flakes or Epsom salts into a warm bath. It’ll relax your muscles, calm your mind & improve sleep

2. Magnesium oil- apply magnesium oil or lotion to your feet, legs, or anywhere you're feeling tension. This will help with muscle cramps & relaxation

3. Magnesium glycinate supplement- It helps your body destress & relax. You can make a mocktail or a magnesium herbal tea, like chamomile or valerian

Femme Fatale Guide: Best Sleep Hygiene Habits & Tips For Better Sleep

Daytime Habits:

Stop drinking caffeine at least 8 hours before you want to go to sleep

Move daily: A 30-minute walk or a short pilates video is enough if that's all you can manage

Get some fresh air/natural light and/or supplement with vitamin D

Ensure you're getting adequate magnesium and vitamin B12 in your regular diet or through supplements

Nighttime Habits:

Tuck your phone in at its "bedtime": Leave your phone in the charger across the room. Out of sight, out of mind.

Have a physical book beside your bed to start reading at a certain time. Around 30-60 minutes before you actually want to go to bed. Find a book that puts you in a calm mood. A book that's too engaging will be counterproductive.

Have some "sleepytime" tea around 30 minutes before bed (Chamomile tea is a great choice. I love the Yogi Soothing Caramel Bedtime tea).

Limit the lights on for an hour or so before you want to go to bed. Only keep the light on near your bed if possible. Keep your curtains closed if necessary.

Practice deep breathing in bed: You can do a full 5-10 sleep meditation or just do a few sets of belly breaths (one hand on your chest and the other on your diaphragm or upper stomach)

Use meditation or a self-pleasure practice to relax enough to fall asleep.

To get on a proper sleep routine & fight insomnia:

Allow yourself one day to be exhausted, so you go to sleep "on time" and give yourself enough time to get (at least) around 6 hours of sleep. This helps your body "reset," at least for a few days.

When you close your eyes, picture one of your favorite memories and re-experience it without allowing other thoughts to enter your brain. This helps calm your mind, so you more easily drift off to sleep (I've been doing this for around 15-18 years and it's golden)

Have a journal or notebook with a pen by your bed: This allows you to write anything down that you forgot about or need to do, sudden inspiration that arises before you fall asleep, or a place to write out your feelings to help relax before going to sleep. It's better than having your phone and gives you no excuse to go pull it out.

Have a bottle of water by your bed, so you can have a few sips if you can't sleep from being (even a little) dehydrated.

Girlies don’t forget to take your vitamins!

Here are a few vitamins that I swear by:

Fenugreek

Fenugreek is my favorite it’s honestly so neat

It helps with removing b3lly f4t and bloating by helping you pøøp

It makes your Boøbs grow if you’re up for that

But best of all, it makes your sweat and your cøøchie smell and taste like maple syrup !

Some people may be allergic to this one and also don’t take too much at one time ts is powerful, it starts working 24-72 hours after you first take it

Biotin

I like the olly gummies because they’re fun

But seriously if we could stop our hair from falling out permanently we should at least try

It also helps with nails and skin so go off

Magnesium

Ts has me sleeping like I did when I was f4t after a b1g b4cked serving of biscuits and gravy AND it helps me p00p in the morning bye bye bl0ating

Vitamin B12

This is the vitamin that you get from eating red meat. It helps a lot with getting hangry or just anxiety. It helps your brain create dopamine/ serotonin which are the happy hormones.

I’ll be adding to this list as time goes on and I find more vitamins to reccomend

Please comment if you have any suggestions 🖤

The calories In supplements don’t count 🖤 stay safe

These are just the vitamins that I take. I’m not a doctor.

I've managed to finish both the next chapter of Seeking Forgiveness and The Devil at Your Window yesterday. Thinking later this week I'll update Seeking Forgiveness because it's been so long and I'm guessing y'all are dying for the next part already.

Currently hoping to get more writing done later today because the OB at my appointment yesterday recommended some magnesium supplements before bed and I just had the absolute best sleep I've had in months 🙌🏻 So I'm rotating between working on the last bit of FFTD's next installment, the final bit for the first part of Borrowed Time, and the next chapter of Neighbors because that whole beginning part is coming to me really clear today.

So fingers crossed my toddler gives me a break today at some point so I can actually get some of these scenes written out!

some good things,

May 1 started on a Monday, and I love the alignment of the start of a new month and the start of a new week. Despite lots of challenges in my personal life, I did pretty well with meeting my April goals and have set my goals for May. The beginning of the month is the best time of the month imo.

I have a pretty chill week at work and my only super busy challenging day is going to be Thursday.

I am still sleeping well thanks to my magnesium supplement <3 and it's made a huge impact on my life.

I've been enjoying reading my books with my morning tea.

I made slow but steady progress on my novel draft in April.

I started swimming one year ago, swimming freestyle with not-great form. I taught myself better form for freestyle (but I'm still working on it), taught myself backstroke over the next few months, and I've taught myself breaststroke over the last couple of weeks too.

I have been in a good rhythm of swimming and running, and one silver lining to my life right now, one thing that's giving me some much-needed endorphins and a sense of accomplishment, is that I am in the best shape I've ever been. :) The only drawback is that it does require buying some new dresses, since I now have too much upper body muscle to fit into my non-casual dresses.

[sportsbianism]

what are your top vitamin recommendations?

i am so glad you asked.

my #1 recommendation is ZMA, which is a complex of Magnesium, Zinc, and Vitamin B. I think a huge number of ppl are running low on magnesium, so particularly if you struggle with sleep, nausea, focus, and headaches, i think taking any magnesium supplement would be wise. but i like this one the best. i think the complex elevates it in a ton of ways, zinc is really good for you, plus it provides particular assistance wrt sleep and exercise recovery, plus it often gives you crazy dreams, which i love.

other ones i think are broadly worth a shot are vitamin b in the morning, vitamin d, fish oil/omega 3s, and calcium at whatever time of day you aren't taking magenesium. i also recommend cooking with a cast iron pan or finding a way to get some more iron in your diet.

[starjxsung]

hiii bb. i hope you’re doing good <3 do my long-ass asks bother you?

but anyways! no, i feel you so bad. i usually fell asleep at like 2am and had to wake up at 6 for uni. and that’s really damaging for your health. i’m still getting used to it but magnesium and melatonin have helped me a lot with my insomnia. but im super lightweight in terms of taking pills so ill just sleep for a whole day if i take them together. so maybe you can look into that if you haven’t already. my mom’s a pharmacist so i got all the pill/supplement intel😅

i’m really sick of the insane amount of promos for this song as well. changbin posting a pic with him🙃🙃. i was like changbin honey angel baby ily but no. but i’m glad that a lot of people were commenting info about zionism and palestine under the picture <3 but so many others were supporting it🤕

im really sad that a lot of stays are boycotting silently too. education about these topics is so important!!! i’ve seen a lot of asks and comments about people who didn’t even know that ch*rlie p*th was a zionist or even what zionism is and when educated, stopped supporting the collab. there’s so many people who are unaware about the situation so shining light on the reasons can really change perspectives.

i love those pictures of momo sososososo much. she’s so bunny coded im obsessed. we r all momo stans here <333

my bf’s best friend came back from a trip to japan and he brought me a super cute hangyodon keychain. (he brought my bf a really really awesome studio ghibli greatest hits type of cd, i wish i took a pic to show it to you </3)

kuromi was like 5th which is consistent to where she was last year. i’m glad to see that other characters like pochacco and pompompurin are getting love though!

ily bb! i hope you’ve had the best weekend. and happy mother’s day to your mom & you 4 birthing queen momo 💘

(this is tofu literally helping me work on the presents and being a gift herself <3)

-🐈‍⬛

Hi my angel! Your long-ass asks get me through the days lately. They don’t bother me in the slightest !! 🫶

Thank you for all the wise pharmacist intel !! I will absolutely look into that. I need to hold myself to a better routine and be better about turning my phone off at night, but I always end up answering asks when I’m supposed to be sleeping and it’s just as therapeutic to me as rest is. It’s a constant battle 🫠

The Changbin pic 🤕 like skz never even use their instagrams all that much and all of a sudden we’re getting SO much stuff at the worst time possible ?? Where was this energy when I cared enough to interact with it 😭 the W Korea magazine covers too lorddddd everybody on my instagram knows I collect Felix magazines like a full time job and I had a few messages asking me if I’d seen his new covers. Had to politely share a story about why I’ll be quiet on my Felix shrine for a little bit 🤕 it sucks. Also absolutely agree with you about the education thing- I mean this has been an ongoing issue for 76 years now, but to pretend like it’s not EVERYWHERE since the escalation starting in October is just ignorant. It takes a few minutes to read through articles! People make tik toks! There are infographics! There’s so much information and to act like you don’t have time to do basic research is so silly.

Momo loves you right back 🫶💘!! She’s currently sitting in my window meowing at bypassers in my building and she’s very popular

Also the hangyodon keychain!!! That is so sweet of him oh my god!!!!!! I love love looooove hangyodon 🥹

Kuromi placing 5th makes so much sense if we’re going to give pochacco and pompompurin a little love too! Sanrio supremacy 🫶

PLEASE SEND TOFU ALL MY LOVE……. She is so cutie I’m so obsessed with her (and you) I love you angel!!!!! I hope you have the best weekend 💕💓💗🩷💘🫶👼 happy Mother’s Day to my favorite cat mama anon 🐱💓

Femme Fatale Guide: Tips For Mindful, Healthy Eating

Be mindful of the foods you keep at home: While I'm not a fan of restriction (especially of entire macronutrients), know yourself well enough to help yourself prevent binging on trigger foods that you start overeating when stressed, tired, etc. My rule of thumb is if I would be uncomfortable having 2 servings of something in a sitting, it doesn't belong in my fridge/freezer/pantry. Keep those treats for socializing or outside of the home.

Discover a selection of healthy meals, snacks, and staple items you love: Physical, nutritional, and emotional satisfaction are all essential to keep your cravings in check. Consider the 5 or so lunches/dinners you love and 1-3 breakfast options, at least 1-2 sweet and savory snacks (like fruit, popcorn, edamame, etc.) to create a simple rotation to keep you satisfied throughout the week. Experiment with different recipes/produce/spices/low sugar & low-fat condiments and seasonings to find what combinations taste the best to you.

Check-in with yourself before eating: Ensure that you're eating due to true hunger rather than feelings of boredom, stress, sadness, etc. If you have the urge to emotionally eat, try to get moving by shaking your arms, dancing around your room, taking a walk, etc. for at least 5-10 minutes before considering getting something to eat.

Enjoy mindful eating: Eat with as few distractions as possible. Take your time to enjoy the food. Take small bites, put your utensils down between bites, and chew slowly. Check in with yourself throughout the eating experience to reconnect with your hungry cues as you get through the plate or bowl of food. See if your hunger is decreasing and how full you feel throughout the experience. Make eating its own separate and enjoyable activity whenever possible.

Have indulgent teas, coffees, and fruit water on hand: Eat if you're truly hungry. But, for the times you're bored or stressed, having a vanilla or cinnamon tea, a cup of cold brew, or a lemon/fruit-infused water can satisfy your desire for some palette simulation

Don't get into a binge-restrict cycle: Allow yourself to eat when you're truly hungry, otherwise, you will overcompensate at a later date. A good litmus test to see if you're truly hungry is to reflect on whether multiple food options could satisfy your current desire for food. If only one food or unhealthy options sound desirable, you're probably experiencing a craving rather than true hunger.

Stay hydrated & get enough sleep: Drinking enough water and a full night's rest are essential to prevent energy crashes that increase your hunger and decrease your inhibitions to give into stress binges or choose unhealthy options. Always keep a glass of water by your side when working, watching TV, etc. to prevent dehydration or a general lack of fluids. Give yourself a loose sleep schedule with an hour or so grace period for your ideal bedtime and wake-up time for the workweek and the weekends.

Ensure you're meeting all of your vitamin requirements: Your body will naturally feel sluggish and more susceptible to cravings if you're not getting enough of certain nutrients on a regular basis. I always supplement with B12 and vitamin D as someone who's been vegan for over a decade. Make sure your diet incorporates nutrients like iron, magnesium, and zinc (common nutrient deficiencies).

what I learned from my time exercising as a 260-280 pound 6'1" guy. I know this is all obvious stuff to most but it really all is as important as they say and sometimes you think you can just do whatever because you never had problems before, but I learned the hard way!

BREATHE - you keep your heartrate down and exercise doable by controlling your breathing. I didn't completely understand how important it was and almost passed out a few times (scary) because I was either unconsciously holding my breath during situps or not inhaling during the right *part* of the exercise, etc. Inhale during the tough part of the exercise!

I've always heard to breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth, with the emphasis being that the more often air is in your lungs on the inhale, the better (within reason obv). I have found that it doesn't always work when trying to drop my heartrate after heavy exercise. What seems to work best for me is a deep inhale and release followed by a "normal" inhale and release. When I keep doing deep inhales, my heartrate tends to increase. I gotta remember that the intent is to slow the breathing while getting adequate oxygen.

DRINK WATER BEFORE AND AFTER EXERCISING - Being hydrated affects your heartrate. I didn't hydrate enough once and my heartrate just would not come down at all after a workout. I didn't feel necessarily thirsty and started feeling tense and shaky, but once I drank some water, it came down almost immediately.

DONT OVERDO IT - Having a heart/pulse tracking device or fitness band is important. You always want to know where your heartrate is, as well as your levels of heart exertion. Most fitness bands have this broken into 4 or 5 heartrate stages. Even if you feel physically able to do the exercise at max hr, you shouldn't work in your highest exertion level for too long. You may feel discouraged and tempted to push yourself if your heartrate is struggling to do something that you've been able to do comfortably before or regularly before, but you shouldn't! It doesn't matter because there are often OTHER FACTORS AT PLAY. You could be more tired today, it could be hotter or more humid where you're working out, etc. There are other reasons you might not consider and it doesn't necessarily mean you've gotten weaker/more out of shape, so don't worry about it and ease up on the intensity to slow your heartrate down to a reasonable level

STRETCH - Warming up before a workout is important to prepare your muscles for stretching. I typically do treadmill and do calf stretches for 1 minute each.

SALT MANAGEMENT - Too much salt in a meal after a workout makes me tense and "jumpy". Like restless legs and cramps. It causes me trouble sleeping too. I've found that potassium helps. Raisins are a really concentrated form of potassium that cuts into the effects of / helps process salt. Potatoes, yogurt, and bananas work too. You can also take a potassium or magnesium supplement. If I feel a cramp coming on, I take a magnesium tablet and it gets rid of it.

EXPERIMENT - I was doing treadmill 3 days in a row regularly for almost a year and my doc told me I should be resting the day after doing treadmill once. When I finally took his advice, it was harder to exercise because I had let my body rest and it felt like I had to get back into "workout mode" again. But when I exercised 2 consecutive days, it was always easier the second day because I was riding the wave of energy I got from that first round. I don't know if there's something to what he was saying or not, but I found that it doesn't work that well for me. I have been trying different schedules of exercise since taking his advice disrupted my groove. I did 2 days on, 1 day resting, 1 day on, 1 day resting, repeat. Or 3 on 2 off. You gotta find out what works for your fitness and energy levels and the only way to know is experiment.

REDUCING CORTISOL LEVELS 

 Navigating how to lower your cortisol levels is key to your overall health and wellness! When a person is stressed, overworked, or "on edge," their body releases a stress hormone called cortisol into their bloodstream. This hormone triggers our "fight or flight response," also known as our sympathetic nervous system, which is our body's response to escape danger. Increased heart rate, constricted breathing, anxiety, restlessness, and other symptoms may occur. As a result, if one creates too much cortisol, these adverse health complications can occur as a result of the body's heightened stress condition. Fortunately, there are numerous natural methods for lowering cortisol levels in the body! In this blog, we'll go through the top five ways to lower cortisol levels and improve our overall health and wellness. 

Getting Enough Sleep: Sleep plays an essential role in our cortisol levels, and a lack of it has been associated with elevated cortisol levels in the bloodstream, causing the body to be in a state of stress during the day. The relationship between sleep and cortisol goes hand in hand. Elevated cortisol levels have been linked to a poor night's sleep, and those who have trouble sleeping frequently experience an increase in cortisol. Therefore, prioritizing your sleep can help lower cortisol levels.

Nutrition & Diet: Our diet and nutrition habits can make or break our cortisol levels. Research has shown that a diet including processed foods, sugar, and excess caffeine that provide little to no nutritional value has been shown to increase unnecessary cortisol levels. Focusing on eating whole foods rich in nutrition can help maintain healthy cortisol levels, and improve our overall health as well! With proper diet and nutrition, our bodies will absorb the nutrients and minerals it needs to function correctly and lessen excess cortisol in the bloodstream. Because our cortisol levels are highest in the morning, strategies such as intermittent fasting might cause a cortisol rise. To address this issue, ensure that you break your fast with a nutritious meal within 30 minutes of waking up. To see which foods will benefit your body specifically, consider booking a Food Zyto scan and consultation here at Restoration Wellness!

Supplements: For decades, proper supplementation has been shown to alleviate elevated cortisol levels. Supplements such as Ashwagandha, Omegas-3, Chamomile, Magnesium, Vitamin C, Rhodiola, and Holy Basil are just a few of the many that can be utilized to reduce cortisol in the body, depending on each individual's needs. To see which supplements will benefit your specific body, consider getting a consultation here at Restoration Wellness today!

Exercise Regularly: Regular low-intensity and strength training exercises can not only transform your physique, health, wellness, and metabolism, but studies have also shown that exercising can change the neurochemicals in your brain, reducing stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline. Exercising not only reduces stress hormones, but it also activates and creates endorphins, which aid in the body's natural mood lifters and overall wellness. A slow walk can help reduce cortisol levels since our heart rate remains constant without a dramatic rise up or down, unlike high-intensity exercises like sprinting. 

Hydration: Hydration is KEY to keeping cortisol levels balanced. Water plays a huge role in how our bodies function and how we maintain homeostasis; after all, the human body is 60% water! As a result, when we are dehydrated, our bodies struggle to operate properly and release excessive cortisol. Consuming enough water every day is crucial for lowering cortisol as well as improving many other aspects of our health. Adding electrolytes to your water can help your body process water intake, which will maximize hydration levels more effectively than without. Here is a link to the best electrolytes with no sugars, dyes, or preservatives. 

There are so many different approaches to reducing cortisol levels in the body naturally using the 5 tips above. As always, the proof is in the pudding, and you should feel the difference using these different techniques. Here at Restoration Wellness, our goal is to help you accomplish your individual health and wellness goals through natural medicine, herbs, detox programs, consultations, and a variety of other services. Contact us today at 508-769-3682 to get more information on our services. Here’s to investing in our health and wellness!
