So today I turn 45....and I am halfway through this 40’s club era where I can truly say that I have enjoyed every part of it. Yes, it's hard to comprehend that I have arrived at the mid-life crossroad in my life. Whether I live to be 90 or not, I am living life with no regrets and living it healthy, purposefully and vibrantly.

Talking of which, I am currently in Ecuador celebrating my 45th with my Papi, my siblings, my girl cousins and best friends - and we are having a fantastic time, a once of a lifetime experience to be all together.

Today, as it's my birthday I will like to list 10 things that I have learnt at this age, for those that have reached their 40’s, or are in their 40/s and you are perhaps are feeling like you are descending, life is no longer great, you are facing some struggles, the greys are showing more and more, the wrinkles are starting to be visible, menopause is hitting and you feel as there is no way out of here - this podcast is for you my ladies in the 40/s club. There is so much to congratulate ourselves on. And its important to remind ourselves of just how far we've come and what we have learnt in this big scheme of life.

The goal with fasting is to learn a pattern that works for you and that you can maintain effortlessly as an ongoing health habit. When you first learn to fast, the most important step is to discover the best hours for you to skip food. Once you have this base fasting time and length, your next step is to think how you might start to incorporate different-length fasts - this is a powerful way to make sure you never plateau with your fasting results!

Join my upcoming 5-Day Course and Fast with Me.

Program starts March 18th, 2024!

In order to play this game of "holistic health" and win, you have to change your mindset because:

* Meals don't cook themselves. You cook them.

* Self-care doesn't just happen. You make it a priority to make it happen.

* Time for meditation, yoga or a spinning class doesn't just become available. You intentionally carve out that time.

* Mindfulness doesn't just happen. You cultivate it.

The truth is that the convenient time to take care of yourself never actually comes along. You just decide YOUR moment and when you do, it will be the absolute best time to start making the changes that support YOU.
