I wish I could hug her and tell her the abuse wasn’t her fault. She felt empty & she didn’t know her worth. 🦋
She now knows that her value isn’t tied to a man’s ego. She became an Army medic and a scientist 💪🏼👩🎓🥹

Trauma triggers chronic #inflammation, which has been linked to worsened PTSD symptoms and impaired recovery!
Research shows that trauma-induced immune system dysregulation can perpetuate mental #health issues.
⬇️ inflammation = ⬇️ trauma symptoms = ⬆️ recovery!

#Trauma doesn’t just affect your mind—it deeply impacts your body too.
Research shows it triggers a stress response that leads to #chronic pain, fatigue, and muscle tension.
This #fight-or-flight state can make movement feel overwhelming, especially for trauma #survivors…

It’s Technique Thursday!
A “butt wink” 👀 in your squat might not feel like a big deal, but it adds stress to your knees (especially the patella) and lower back.
🔑 Fix it:
• Improve hip/ankle mobility
• Squat within YOUR range
• Keep a neutral spine
Move smart, not just heavy! 🙌 #SquatForm

Think positive affirmations are pointless? WRONG
Studies show that positive affirmations decrease the rate of telomere shortening!!
This means your cells are living and thriving for LONGER, increasing your lifespan and decreasing your likelihood for age-related disease 💪🏼✨🧠 #health

Friendly reminder that we are made of chemical compounds, so “chemicals” are not inherently bad. “Toxins” are produced by the body daily and peroxisomes within the cell destroy&expel waste.
Eat clean and your body will take care of the rest - save your money and put the supplements DOWN!! #health

What if you changed your perspective on running?
What if you ran to prove to yourself that you have control over your heart and nervous system? NO ONE but YOU has the power to regulate that, especially if you keep training.
That sounds like the best revenge. Come out on top. 🏃♀️💨#healing #survivor

Molly Baz selling overpriced mayo is everything. She is perfection. Idc if it’s $36 dollars, I’d pay $60 if it meant supporting the Mayo queen herself. And I stand by that. #bonappetitty

Trauma can cause neural disruptions that interfere with productivity and memory!! It’s okay to take time to heal! Your brain needs time to create new neural pathways (this is called neuroplasticity).
Be kind to yourself, take care of your brain & body. 🧠❤️💪🏼👸🏻
