People today are over-stimulated, stressed, exhausted and still try to push through because that’s what society (and our over-stimulated brains) says to do.  But we need to rest! Self-care goes beyond rest and recovery. Self-care is the act of taking responsibility for all of your needs: body, mind and spirit.  This is a paradigm shift! It’s not about working harder, longer, and faster anymore, because this only makes us sick and miserable. You have to slow down to speed up!SHOW NOTES: 1:25 Welcome to the show!2:39 Self-Care Awareness month3:19 Definition of Self-care6:16 #1 Factor7:28 Our current state of affairs!8:23 Why do you NEED to workout?9:24 U-shaped relationship between exercise and immunity10:05 Tips for Self-Care10:53 What to eat when you're run down13:51 The healing power of nature14:37 The RIGHT type of exercise15:35 Fancy recovery hacks18:10 How it makes you hotter19:05 Debate/Controversy21:05 Renee’s personal experience24:24 Renee's top immune boosting supplements27:48 Lauren's personal experience34:15 Renee’s favorite hack36:02 Lauren's favorite hacks37:33 Low-EMF Infrared saunas38:13 The AmpCoil 39:37 Thanks for tuning in!RESOURCES:RebounderPortable SaunaClearlight Sauna Sunlighten SaunaAmpCoilJOOVV Red LightSupplements: C + BioFizz - use code FIRST20NOW for 20% offImmunitone - use code FIRST20NOW for 20% offOlivirexUmcka Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/biohacker-babes-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Whether or not alcohol can be a part of a healthy diet is a constant debate.
