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 the thing no one wants to talk about…Belly fat.
It shows up quietly, settles in like an uninvited guest, and refuses to leave — no matter how “healthy” you try to be.
So what actually causes it?
👉 Diet?
👉 Lack of exercise?
👉 Hormones, stress, age, medications, soda?
You might be surprised.
This week on the Healthy Looks Great on You podcast, I’m diving deep into the unexpected root cause of belly fat — and why it’s not about willpower, calories, or crunches.
In this episode, I’ll walk you through:
✅ Why stress and busyness are more to blame than your sweet tooth
✅ How the “no plan = takeout again” cycle keeps your body stuck
✅ Why ultra-processed foods are a symptom — not the root problem
✅ The plant-powered pantry staples that can turn dinner stress into dinner success
And if you’re tired of that 5PM “what’s for dinner” panic, I created something that can help you take back control (without dieting or spending hours in the kitchen):
🍲 Get the Free Pantry Guide: https://healthylooksgreatonyou.com/pantryguide
It’s filled with 10 go-to items to keep in your pantry, 10 freezer essentials, 10 spices & add-ons, and 3 quick recipes — so you can prepare easy, healthy meals in minutes (even when you forgot to plan).
Because when you feed your body with real nourishment, everything changes:
Your energy. Your hormones. Your cravings. Your confidence.
And healthy? It looks really great on you.
💛 blessings,
Dr. Vickie
