  • How To Drop Ten Pounds By Christmas With Close To Zero Effort

    How To Drop Ten Pounds By Christmas With Close To Zero Effort

    Oh Lawd!

    This is so exciting and fun!

    Becoming the best version of you always is.

    So I used this as part of my routine to drop 48 Postpartum pounds, literally doing close to zero working out.

    So this really is effective.

    But first, let me tell you a true story.

    During nursing school, I gained some weight. I wasn’t eating the healthiest, not working out much, stress hormones through the roof, close to no sleep for about 4 years. Instead of eating healthy, like many in the health field- I went for comfort, cost, and convenience.

    So there I was, pretty fresh out of nursing school, I was walking downtown headed to my shift in the emergency department where I used to work as a registered nurse.

    And this lady came up to me, talking Spanish. I grew up speaking Spanish so I knew my way around pretty well. She asks me how many months I was in my pregnancy- in Spanish.

    I cannot tell you the level of humiliation I felt. I was SO SHOCKED. Not even offended. More like WHAAAAAAT??? No one had ever made such a comment. Here I was practicing celibacy.

    There was this AWKWARD long stare … it was probably for less than 5 seconds but it felt like an eternity.

    Before I knew it… I heard these words coming out of my mouth… “I don’t speak Spanish.”

    I left quickly. It felt so horrible. It was hard to focus. And I thought wow… am I that fat?

    Now, I wasn’t very spiritual or religious back then so, don’t judge me lol.

    I wish these were around back in those days… which is why it brings me so much joy to share this breakthrough with you. Because I know the pain of obesity. It doesn’t just suck, it’s HELL.

    The feeling of not being happy when you look in the mirror and you don’t recognize the woman staring back at you.

    The bulges in your clothes that make you feel so unattractive and how it all hangs out.

    Trying to find big clothes to cover you while still looking for something to make you look beautiful.

    And you feel so ugly and worthless inside.

    Been there

    So …

    there are these natural fat burning capsules! And THEY WORK!

    They are CLEAN! As clean as can be. Zero garbage. The real deal. They just might be the cleanest fat burners on the market.

    I LOVE them.

    So the perks are: energy booster, mood booster and incredibly healthy and AFFORDABLE.

    Downside: nothing that I can think of or to report in my experience.

    I started them again 2 months ago and did nothing. Nothing else new, and lost 5 pounds! I totally see it on my waist.

    I probably fasted less than usual and ate more.

    I fast weekly- because I LOVE the spiritual results! There’s NOTHING like it! Not gonna be fasting for a while since I’ve found out we are expecting another treasure.

    So, Close to zero working out. Not proud of that but it’s true.

    And with holidays coming up, this will allow you to drop some weight, if that’s what you want so you can indulge a little more on all the holiday foods lol.

    Am I the only one who wants to eat extra 🤣

    Haha!

    Any how I am soooo exited to share this with you because it’s sucks feeling unhappy, miserable and disgusted with your self . check em right here.

    Fitness tip: do 5 reps of whatever exercise that is safe and best for you each time you go to the restroom. I do 5 squats. You may do 5 push ups or 5 crunches. One plank for 5 seconds. This works, just be patient with it.

    I think you will love the results. I do.

    And also, I was taking 2 capsules every morning and lunch time.

    Stay close to Abba, I pray this blessed you!

    JC

    Remember, you are God’s treasured possession, regardless of your weight. You are beautiful, NOW. Not because I say so but because God does. So don’t listen to the lies, that you are worthless or ugly or fat. The Lord rebuke thee satan. You are made in God’s image.

    Love you.

  • The Postpartum Secret That’s Transforming Exhausted Moms Into Radiant Warriors (Without Endless Caffeine or Guilt)

    The Postpartum Secret That’s Transforming Exhausted Moms Into Radiant Warriors (Without Endless Caffeine or Guilt)

    Hi beauty,

    It’s 12 PM, and you’re already done. Completely done. The kind of bone-deep exhaustion that makes you wonder if you’ll ever feel like yourself again. Your baby needs you, your toddler needs you, and you’re running on fumes that expired three diaper changes ago.

    I know this intense challenge intimately. The sleep deprivation that makes you question your sanity. The endless cycle of feeding, changing, soothing that leaves you feeling more like a zombie than the glowing mother you imagined you’d be. The guilt that comes with wondering “Why can’t I handle this better?”

    The Sacred Truth About Postpartum Struggles

    Here’s what no one tells you: This isn’t just tiredness. It’s not just “new mom adjustment.” Your body is crying out for specific nourishment that modern motherhood often ignores. I discovered this truth during my own postpartum fiery trail, when I felt like I was drowning in responsibilities while my vitality slipped away.

    But then something remarkable happened. Through prayer & extensive research, I came across a fascinating approach to postpartum recovery that traditional wisdom had somehow missed. It wasn’t another “sleep when the baby sleeps” platitude. This was different.

    The Transformation You Deserve

    What I found was a carefully formulated blend of nutrients specifically designed for postpartum mothers. Not just random supplements, but a targeted solution that addresses the exact depletion patterns that make postpartum so overwhelming.

    The results? Almost immediate. Like 30 seconds- no exaggeration. Within days, mothers report:

    • Energy that lasts beyond the morning coffee crash
    • Mental clarity that helps you actually enjoy your baby’s precious moments
    • Emotional resilience that transforms “surviving” into “thriving”
    • Better sleep quality (even with nighttime feedings)
    • A return to feeling like yourself – but stronger
    • Better relationship & communication with your husband
    • Being able to shut off your brain at bed time
    • Feeling joyful like you were made for this

    The Divine Design of Motherhood

    Here’s the truth: Motherhood wasn’t meant to feel like punishment. It’s a sacred calling, yes, but it’s not supposed to destroy you. Your exhaustion isn’t a badge of honor – it’s a sign that something needs to change.

    I watched my own postpartum journey transform from a daily struggle to a beautiful season of growth. The dark clouds lifted. Joy returned. My marriage improved. My children received the present, energetic mother they deserved.

    Your Turning Point Awaits

    I’ve discovered a remarkable sample pack that contains everything a postpartum mother needs to reclaim her vitality. It’s not just another supplement – it’s a complete transformation system designed specifically for your postpartum body.

    Every morning, as I take these nutrients, I’m grateful God showed me this solution. And I’d be doing a disservice to every struggling mother if I didn’t share this find.

    Ready to transform your postpartum journey from survival mode to sacred joy? Click here to discover the sample pack that’s changing mothers’ lives. Your family deserves the radiant, energetic mother you were meant to be.

    P.S. Every day you wait is another day spent in the fog of exhaustion. Your transformation begins the moment you decide you deserve better.

    Love, JC

  • The Hidden Hormone Crisis: Why Your Body’s Control Center Might Be Crying for Help

    The Hidden Hormone Crisis: Why Your Body’s Control Center Might Be Crying for Help

    Hi beautiful,

    Have you noticed how despite getting enough sleep, eating well, and trying to manage stress, something still feels… off? Maybe it’s the brain fog that rolls in around 2 PM, or that unexplained fatigue that no amount of coffee seems to fix, or the stubborn belly fat that won’t budge & has been there for years? If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone – and more importantly, you’re not imagining things.

    What are Hormones Anyway?

    We hear it all the time.

    Hormones are chemical substances that are secreted into the blood, and carried by the blood, tissues and fluids to targeted locations in the body.

    They fall into the category of endocrine signaling because they are secreted by endocrine glands.

    Sometimes it is used for substances that are not secreted by endocrine glands but have a similar effect.

    The Modern Hormone Puzzle

    Here’s what most wellness articles won’t tell you: our hormonal systems are facing unprecedented challenges in today’s world. It’s not just about stress or aging – we’re dealing with living in a perfect storm of hormone disruption.

    That organic produce you’re eating? It’s grown in soil depleted of crucial minerals.

    That “clean” water you drink? Loaded with hormone-disrupting chemicals that your grandfather never had to deal with.

    Think of your endocrine system as your body’s master control center. When it’s working properly, it orchestrates everything from your energy levels and mood to your metabolism and reproductive health. But here’s the breakthrough insight that changed my understanding: hormone imbalances don’t just happen overnight – they’re the culmination of thousands of tiny disruptions our bodies face every day.

    The Adaptation Crisis

    Our bodies were designed with an incredible ability to adapt to stress and maintain balance. But this natural resilience requires specific nutritional and botanical support – support that’s increasingly hard to get from our modern food supply alone.

    You know how in the Bible, they would let the soil rest every seven years or so for sometime? That would allow the soil to have a chance to rest, and not become “dead soil.” Where is that being done now?

    Here’s what’s fascinating: traditional cultures have long understood this challenge. In the high Andes mountains, where environmental stresses are extreme, people have relied for centuries on adaptive plants like maca – not just one variety, but multiple types, each supporting different aspects of hormonal health.

    The Three-Pillar Solution

    Through years of research and working with clients, I’ve discovered that sustainable hormone balance rests on three crucial pillars:

    1. Adaptogenic Support: Using plants that help your body respond to stress without overstimulating any one hormonal pathway
    2. Systemic Clearing: Supporting your body’s natural detoxification systems to remove hormone-disrupting compounds
    3. Nutritional Foundation: Providing the specific nutrients your endocrine system needs to function optimally

    Your Path Forward

    The good news? Once you understand these principles, small strategic changes can create powerful cascading effects. Clients who address their hormone health often report improvements far beyond their initial concerns – from better sleep and mental clarity to improved relationships and workplace performance.

    The key is choosing solutions that work with your body’s natural intelligence, not against it. Look for comprehensive approaches that combine traditional wisdom with modern scientific understanding.

    If you’re ready to take the next step in your hormone health journey, I invite you to explore natural solutions that honor these principles. One option I particularly respect is SolleExcell®, which thoughtfully combines three types of maca with clarifying herbs and immune-supporting superfruits.

    Remember the “dead soil” problem? Here’s what makes SolleExcell different. The testing.

    What do we test for?

    1. Purity – checks for any contaminants such as microbials, pesticides and heavy metals.

    2. Potency – certifies the strength and effectiveness of the raw material. This can include the concentration of a nutrient or active ingredient, as well as its bio-availability.

    3. Identity – guarantees that the raw material we received is what our supplier said it is and that its composition and characteristics meet our standards.

    Remember: Your body wants to be in balance. Sometimes it just needs the right support to find its way back home.

  • The Hidden Reason You’re Tired All The Time (That Has Nothing To Do With Sleep)

    The Hidden Reason You’re Tired All The Time (That Has Nothing To Do With Sleep)

    Hi beauty,

    Let me guess – you’re doing “all the right things.” Getting decent sleep. Eating pretty well. Maybe even exercising when you can squeeze it in. Yet somehow, you still feel like you’re running on fumes by 2 PM every day.

    I discovered something fascinating while researching modern fatigue patterns. It turns out the exhaustion most of us feel isn’t actually about lack of sleep or poor diet. It’s about something called “adaptive capacity” – and it explains why traditional energy solutions often fall flat.

    Why Your Body’s “Stress Battery” Keeps Dying

    Think of your body like a smartphone. Just like your phone has a battery that drains faster when multiple apps are running, your body has a finite capacity to handle stress. The catch? In 2024, we’re running about 47 background apps we don’t even realize are active.

    Work deadlines. Family responsibilities. Environmental toxins. Social media. Political tension. That weird noise your car is making. Each one slowly drains your adaptive capacity – your body’s ability to bounce back from stress.

    The Ancient Solution to Modern Exhaustion

    Here’s where it gets interesting. Traditional cultures had a secret weapon against this kind of systemic fatigue: adaptogens. These are rare plants that actually help your body adapt to stress instead of just masking tiredness like caffeine does.

    The science behind this is pretty mind-blowing. Adaptogens work at a cellular level to help your body maintain balance under pressure! Think of them as training wheels for your stress response system. They don’t just give you energy – they teach your body to use energy more efficiently.

    The Cascading Effects Nobody Talks About

    When your adaptive capacity improves, something fascinating happens. It’s not just about having more energy. People report better focus at work, more patience with their kids, a stronger bond with their spouse, and even improved digestion (fun fact: stress wreaks havoc on your gut).

    One woman, a busy mom of three, started incorporating adaptogens into her routine and noticed she wasn’t stress-snacking in the afternoon anymore. Her sugar cravings disappeared because her body wasn’t desperately searching for quick energy fixes. Usually when the body signals that it’s hungry, it’s really saying- we are low on nutrients – feed us. So if you can respond to your body with giving it true nutrition instead of coffee or sugary drinks and snacks that are really a band aid and a very superficial approach, you will revolutionize your health.

    The Simple Way to Test This For Yourself

    Here’s the thing – everyone responds to adaptogens differently. That’s why I always suggest people start with a variety pack to find what works best for their unique system. It’s like dating – you need to meet a few before you find your perfect match.

    If you’re curious about trying adaptogens but don’t want to commit to full-size products yet, I’ve found a pretty sweet deal. There’s a sample pack that lets you try 7 different adaptogenic drinks for $14.95 (with free shipping for first-timers). The best part? It comes with a $15 gift card for your next purchase – basically making it risk-free.

    But whether you try that specific pack or not, start paying attention to your adaptive capacity. Notice when your “stress battery” feels low. Look for patterns. Understanding this one concept could completely change how you approach your energy management.

    Remember: True energy isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about building your body’s resilience, one small step at a time.

    And of course, make sure you are resting in God’s presence.

  • From Exhausted to Energized: How God Led Me to Natural Energy After Years of Struggling

    From Exhausted to Energized: How God Led Me to Natural Energy After Years of Struggling

    I remember laying on my floor on the dorm room during nursing school, desperately drinking my second or third energy drink of the day to say awake to study, praying “Lord, there has to be a better way.”

    My hands were shaking, my heart was racing, and I felt foggy and depleted, I wondered if I was going to have a heart attack. I was caught in a cycle of artificial highs and crushing crashes that left me feeling like a shadow of myself.

    Fast forward to after graduation, and I was working in the emergency department and we would actually have patients come that were so jacked up on energy drinks that it was life threatening. This stuff was so toxic! Talk about hell in a bottle.

    Maybe you can relate to that desperate search for sustainable energy. Between ministry commitments, family responsibilities, and trying to stay faithful to your calling, it’s easy to fall into depending on whatever will keep you going – even when you know it’s not God’s best for your temple.

    The Hidden Cost of Quick Energy Fixes

    What the Lord revealed to me through intense prayer and study was eye-opening: those artificial energy boosters weren’t just masking my fatigue – they were actually making it worse. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 reminds us that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit. Yet I was filling mine with substances that were throwing my blood sugar into chaos and depleting my adrenal system.

    The breakthrough came when I started researching God’s natural medicine cabinet – the incredible plants and herbs He created for our wellbeing. I discovered that sustainable energy isn’t about stimulation – it’s about nourishment.

    God’s Design for Natural Energy

    Here’s what changed everything for me: I learned that true energy comes from supporting our body’s own systems, not overriding them. The Lord showed me specific plants like yerba mate (packed with 24 vitamins and minerals) and cinnamon (which helps maintain healthy blood sugar) that work WITH our bodies instead of against them.

    When we align with God’s design, incredible things happen. By switching to natural plant-based energy support, I experienced:

    • Steady, sustained energy without the crashes
    • Mental clarity that lasts throughout the day
    • Better blood sugar balance and fewer cravings
    • Improved digestion and immune function

    A Testament to His Faithfulness

    Sisters, I give God all the glory for leading me to a better way. Now I can serve in my motherhood ministry, support my family, and fulfill my calling without the constant struggle against fatigue. My testimony is that when we seek His wisdom for our health, He is faithful to provide solutions that honor our bodies as His temple.

    If you’re tired of the energy drink cycle and ready to discover God’s natural design for sustained vitality, I’d love to share more about the natural solution that transformed my life. You can learn more about CinnaMāte here.
