Turn off your mind so you can sleep free cheat sheet
Do you have trouble sleeping because your thoughts spin? I created this cheat sheet to help you shut off your mind and turn on restorative sleep.
Let’s talk about it.
That stubborn, uncomfortable, sometimes embarrassing belly fat that creeps in seemingly overnight.
You didn’t change your eating.
You didn’t stop moving.
But your body changed, and no one can really explain why.
This week on Healthy Looks Great on You, I’m sharing:
✔️ The real causes of belly fat (not what you think)
✔️ My personal story of prednisone, cheesecake, and Dr. Pepper
✔️ Why stress, sleep, and hormones matter more than calorie math
✔️ What TikTok got wrong
✔️ A practical plan rooted in the 6 pillars of Lifestyle Medicine
This episode is honest and practical. No shame, no gimmicks.
Because your belly isn’t a punchline, it’s your body asking for help.
