🌞 Foods that make us more susceptible to burning

🌞 Powerful times of day for sunlight including infrared light & lots of feel good hormones that create an addiction to morning sun (I GET IT lol)

🌞 How you can build up your solar callous using UVA light (earlier in the day) so you can handle the UVB light later in the day (which has amazing benefits including vitamin D production)

In today's ep I share 10 of my favourite wellness habits that are SO normal to me now that I do them without even thinking, that others may find weird, strange or not ever think to do!!

🚨 REMINDER! 🚨

Because this is my birthday month I am gifting any new health coaching clients who start in October a free WHOOP! The band and a membership for a whole 12 months 💪🏼

a) Im feeling generous

b) gifts is one of my love languages

& c) I know how beneficial having a Whoop has been for me to experience better sleep, more energy, a more regulated, calm nervous system + feel more resilient + adaptive with my training but life in general 

If you don’t know what Whoop is

It’s a device you wear on your wrist that monitors all your vital signs, your sleep - shows how quickly you fall asleep, what phases of sleep you are in throughout the night

& monitors your HRV which is the variation in time between each heart beat - reflects how adaptable your body is being from training, stress etc

& now steps as well !

It provides really useful data about how our activity, choices, behaviours + sleep impact our bodies + our health

⚡️

So if you have been thinking about health coaching + having support, guidance & accountability to optimise your health, improve your sleep, if you’re struggling with low energy or wanting to actually prioritise your wellness and how good you actually can feel..

now is the time!

The Whoop will give us real time data on how your body is functioning + combine that with my coaching & together we will be able to start optimising your sleep, nervous system + get you feeling more energised, calm, + in control of your health and your life

My coaching is a minimum 12 week block but you will have the Whoop for a whole 12 months

Different package options available + payment plans available so there really is an option for everyone, including you

Send me a DM on insta @iamsophiekate if you would like to learn about the different options and we can get your free whoop out to you ASAP!

Hello & welcome back!

Today's ep I run you through my favourite elements to my morning that help me feel calm, clear, confident and excited for my day ahead.

I've gone through phases of having NO morning routines or rituals, to being TOO strict with it, & now I have a beautiful balance of having particular standards in place, behaviours & habits that are now second nature, & have found what works for ME

I share what I believe ARE important to incorporate in your mornings, & how you can start to figure out what is going to work out best for you.
