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.
In this week’s episode of Healthy Looks Great on You, we dive into the deep connection between belly fat, body image, and mindset. Dr. Vickie discusses how visceral fat is a serious health concern—but also how obsessing over your waistline can spiral into shame.
Lisa Michelle of FITT by Design is an exercise physiologist who has struggled with an eating disorer. She knows how it feels to see a distorted image in the mirror.
She shares an empowering 5-R framework to help you:
📍 Recognize the root of distorted thinking
📍 Reclaim the lens of truth
📍 Reset your mind through repetition
📍 Rebuild your body with purpose
📍 Reframe your self-worth outside of appearance
This conversation is especially powerful for women navigating midlife, identity shifts, and a culture that constantly sells body dissatisfaction. Let’s ditch the shame and choose strategy.
