My goal is to do the 5 Day FMD diet 2-3 times a year (for a total of 15 days a year, 5 days per cycle). I appreciate that unlike dieting, multiple cycles of ProLon helps:

—————————–
I utilize several other products from the ProLon line to prolong the longevity lifestyle:
ProLon Fasting Shakes: I use the Fasting Shake to replace breakfast, to extend my intermittent fasting window and fat burn, or I will use it as a snack between meals.
ProLon Fasting Bars: I use the bars in a similar way to the shakes (nutrients that don’t break my fast!)- but I don’t always have time for a shake before I leave the house & I often want to take something with me for later in the morning. The bars are ideal — and they are great for travel! Thus, I love that the Fasting Bars are “grab & go!” made of quality ingredients….and they taste delicious. I especially love eating the Fasting Bars before a workout so I have some nutrition/ fuel in me which helps fuel my energy levels.
ProLon Everyday L-Spread: My fave! It contains 74% Almonds from longevity areas of Italy, one of the foods most consistently associated with human health and longevity. It is delicious (!!) and contains plant-based proteins, healthy fats, and low carbs. It is Gluten-Free, Soy-Free, Vegan, and Non-GMO. Grateful to have healthier choices!

Why do I love Nutrition for Longevity Meal Delivery? Because we all hear how we are supposed to eat…. but ACTUALLY implementing a sustainable diet that offers great nutrition…. that is EASY! Delicious! Affordable! AND convenient? Now that’s unique.
It’s empowering to find an ultra-convenient and effective lifestyle tranformation that improves your life. Inspired by centenarian regions, where people traditionally consume a 95% plant-based diet rich in fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains and nuts, the Nutrition for Longevity daily meal kits follow these ratios. They focus on a low glycemic index diet and offer vegan, gluten-free, pescatarian, and flexitarian options. Their team of registered dietitians ensures that each daily menu meets the RDA nutrition guidelines and Longevity Diet ratios.

Why do I love it? AG1 is a staple in our house and has been for years! It’s my go-to for Comprehensive + Convenient Daily Nutrition. It is quick, reliable, food-based nutrition, and I send it to my kids in college as well to make sure they are getting (75!) quality vitamins, as well as minerals, probiotics, prebiotics
My Sensate Device
MY SENSATE – This is my all time favorite go-to tech device for leap-frogging into a true sense of relaxation. This is the vagal nerve stimulation (relaxation) technology device that I use daily. It jettisons me into a parasympathetic state in just minutes. The parasympathetic is our “rest & digest” or “tend & befriend” state…. where we want to be when seeking relaxation… creativity… higher thinking… connection, etc. For me, it makes me so relaxed that I can fall right to sleep, so I also use it for that purpose at times.
Mind you, I have gone through Mindfulness Teacher Training, and hundreds of hours of mindfulness and yoga practice over the years– but NOTHING (non pharmaceutical) relaxes me as quickly as this does.
Here are some details about how it works:
.
WHAT it is: an electronic device coupled with resonant sound/ vibration, designed to activate your vagal nerve (Vagus, baby!)
WHERE: to be placed on your chest.
WHY: to calm your fight-flight-freeze response, to relax you in the moment and to improve your stress resilience over time.
.
HOW: It utilizes sound and vibration to soothe your nerves by triggering your parasympathetic (rest and digest/ tend and befriend response) as you relax and feel the sonic resonance which can benefit wellbeing.
Excited to share that @mysensate is now offering my friends 20% off on their SENSATE device. …Click below to go to their website and read about their studies, or to purchase.

and quite frankly…all kinds of oversharing (um…me) and tangential rabbit holes! I spill a LOT. #truth #vulnerabilityhangover
So here are resources for some of the references…because we chatted at warped speed, and some of these experts and their work deserve to be explored. So good!

PANDAS – https://med.stanford.edu/pans.html
Like PANS, children with Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder Associated with Streptococcal Infections (PANDAS) have an acute onset – within 2 to 3 days – of neuropsychiatric symptoms, specifically OCD or tics (involuntary, purposeless movements). However, PANDAS patients test positive for a recent streptococcal infection, such as strep throat, peri-anal strep or scarlet fever. Like PANS patients, they also may suffer from uncontrollable emotions, irritability, anxiety and loss of academic ability and handwriting skills. Although PANDAS was identified as a medical syndrome more than a decade before PANS, it has been classified as a subset of PANS. To date, PANDAS is the only known subset of PANS, but we may discover more causes in the future.

Oprah Winfrey and leading child psychiatrist and neuroscientist Bruce Perry, MD, PhD explore the impact of childhood trauma on who we become, the decisions we make, and how healing must start with one question ‘what happened to you?’ in anticipation of a new co-authored book of the same name. Winfrey and Dr. Perry focus on understanding how shifting the approach to trauma and allowing understanding of the past allows for an opening of the door to resilience and healing in a proven, powerful way.#WhatHappenedToYou
