Quote of the episode:
"From my professional experience in working with clients, most people are so focused on consuming protein, they eat too much protein and lack other macronutrients in their diet. And that’s a major downhill domino effect from there.
What your body needs will not be the same as what Stacy at the gym needs. And you don’t need to listen to Instagram influencers either. Protein isn’t the end all be all. It’s just not."-Lauren Venosta

In this episode I'm sharing 4 morning beverages and corresponding recipes that will support different aspects of your heath including digestion, detoxification, energy, and hormonal health. It's a quick episode with tons of actionable value.
**4 Morning Beverages:
- Digestive Fire:** 16 oz warm water, juice of ½ lemon, 2 Tbsp. raw apple cider vinegar, 1 tsp. raw honey, and ½ tsp. ground cinnamon
2. Detox Power: 16 oz warm water, juice of ½ lemon, and ½ tsp. turmeric paste.
Turmeric paste recipe:
- 1 ¼ cups water
- ½ cup ground turmeric
- ⅓ cup coconut oil
- 1 tsp. ground black pepper
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
Add water and turmeric to a small pot, whisk together and heat on low until the mixture turns into a paste. Add the coconut oil, black pepper, and cinnamon. Mix well and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
3. Mineral Infusion: 16 oz warm water, juice of ½ lemon, ¼ tsp. Himalayan pink salt OR ¼ tsp. trace mineral drops and the last ingredient is ground or fresh ginger, basically as much as you can tolerate. If you need to add raw honey to this one, you can definitely do so.
4. Energy Elixir: 16 oz water, juice of ½ lemon, splash of orange juice, and 20 drops of liquid chlorophyll. If you have never used liquid chlorophyll before, start with 12 drops and work your way up to 20.

When you know you’re capable of something, your subconscious mind thinks you’ve already accomplished it. So then you just have to put yourself in action. Actions come after belief, not the other way around. This is why most people can’t sustain healthy habits. They don’t believe enough in themselves to maintain it." -Lauren Venosta

Juicer I recommend:
Omega Masticating Juicer J8006

"The amount of nutrients you can consume in a 16oz glass of juice is truly unmatched. Think about it: in a 16oz glass of juice it’s typically one bunch of celery, 1 cucumber, 1 apple, and 1 lemon.

In this episode I'm sharing about the biggest thing that is holding you back from living an amazing life. We're talking about identity, self-worth, and how your subconscious impacts every move you make. Key points in this episode:
- Your identity is what shapes your choices
- If you don't believe you are worthy of good things, they won't happen
- Improving your life only happens long-term when you improve your inner self
Quote of the episode:
"You have to believe you are worthy of good things. If you don’t believe that, you will always play the same narrative in your head and self-sabotage your growth. You’ll grow just enough to be proud of yourself but you will always stay just below what you think you deserve. "

In this first episode of Life Uplifted, we’re getting vulnerable right off the bat. I’m sharing my story of living with constant pain as a child, escaping death at 20 years old, and overcoming debilitating chronic illness by healing my body to live a life of true wellness.
Key points in this episode:
- Why listening to your symptoms is key
- An autoimmune diagnosis doesn’t equal lifelong illness
- The importance of healing all aspects of yourself: body, mind, and soul
Quote of the episode:
“Healing is a journey. There is no quick fix for a chronic illness. I eat healthy because if I don’t, my life would be drastically different. And that’s not negotiable for me. I know what it’s like to be paralyzed by poor health. I refuse to let that be my reality ever again. But it doesn’t mean that I feel like a freaking rockstar everyday. I have determination no matter what and that is the difference between letting your illness take you down or you taking your illness down.”-Lauren Venosta

Quote of the episode:
"Real self-care that makes a true difference in yourself and your life requires looking at your habits and yourself openly and honestly. Even your darkest spaces. Because self-sabotage is often why we aren’t living the life we want." -Lauren Venosta
