Can a Healthy Lifestyle Become Toxic?

How to Stay Healthy Without the Stress: A Balanced Approach to Wellness

With so much conflicting health advice out there, how do we know what actually works? From keto to carnivore, fasting to feeding windows, detoxes to supplements, it can be easy to feel lost in the noise. But true health isn’t about chasing trends or jumping from one extreme to another. It’s about tuning into your body, simplifying your habits, and focusing on long-term sustainability.

In our latest episode, we break down how to navigate the overwhelm of modern wellness advice and make health work for you.

Ditch the Extremes: What "Balance" Actually Looks Like

Extreme approaches might offer quick results, but they rarely last. A balanced lifestyle allows for flexibility—one that supports your body while still letting you enjoy life. That might mean enjoying a dinner out without guilt, or saying yes to dessert on your birthday.

True balance isn’t 50/50 all the time. It’s about learning to trust your inner signals and not letting "perfect" become the enemy of good.

Let’s Retire the Term "Cheat Meal"

Words matter. When we label something a "cheat," we immediately attach shame to it. The idea of a "cheat meal" suggests you’ve done something wrong—but nourishing your soul, enjoying food with friends, or trying something new isn’t wrong. It's human.

Instead of "cheating," think of it as part of your life’s natural rhythm. Health is a long game, not a test you pass or fail every day.

Eating Out Without Guilt or Overthinking

Dining out can be a joyful, connected experience. Instead of worrying about every ingredient or calorie, choose meals that make you feel good physically and emotionally. Make mindful choices, but also allow room for pleasure.

Preparation helps: scan menus ahead of time, stay hydrated, and prioritize protein and whole foods when possible. But most importantly, be present.

The Real Key? Your Mindset

Health begins in the mind. When you shift from a perfectionist or all-or-nothing mindset to one that values consistency, grace, and self-trust, everything changes.

You no longer panic if you miss a workout or eat something "off plan." You understand that one choice won’t derail your progress, and that wellness is about patterns, not isolated events.

Final Thoughts

Health isn’t about perfection. It’s about sustainability. It’s about building a lifestyle that supports you—not stresses you out. If you’ve ever felt confused or overwhelmed by wellness trends, know that you’re not alone.

Tune in to this episode for practical tips, mindset shifts, and a refreshing reminder that your healthiest life is the one you can live with ease and joy.

How to Break a Water Fast

As always there's quite a bit of conflicting information out there about how to break a fast. One thing everyone agrees on is that the fast needs to broken slowly and gently. You also need several days to go back to eating normally. For example, if you do a 7 day fast, you need about 3 days of refeeding. On a 10 day fast, you'll need 4-5 days and so on. How you break the fast will make or break the whole experience. If you go right back to your old way of eating, you can easily negate all the benefits of your fast. One school of thought insists on breaking the fast with fruit, more specifically watermelon and then lots of veggies and more fruit. Since my goal is to remain in ketosis, I will be taking a different approach. I will be eating protein, fat and some low-carb veggies, bone broth and lots of water. I would also recommend abstaining from alcohol for at least a few days so you're not overburdening your liver. Listen to your body. Don't force the food if yo...

4 Months Later - Fasting - Carnivore - OMAD

I know it's been a while since I've done an update. So here we are at the beginning of September already. Things are progressing really nicely. So much better than I ever imagined. I've slowly transitioned to a mostly Carnivore diet , consisting or meat, eggs and dairy with very little veggies and no fruit. I've continued fasting on a regular basis. Basically having just one meal a day on most days (OMAD) and then still doing regular water fasts as I feel the need. My weight continued to decrease slowly but very steadily. I wasn't expecting this at all. I would have been very happy just maintaining my weight under 70kg and here I am at 62kg. How cool is that? Yeah, I'm sure excited.  Here's my latest before and after pic. Hopefully you guys can see the difference. I can tell you that I feel so amazing! I've had to buy a whole new wardrobe. I know, the horror, eh? I've stopped taking all my supplements. My eczema is a thing of the past. My Has...
