My Latest Tips & Tricks

Daily Cold face baths instead of cold showers:


Recently I had a phase of wanting to finish my hot showers with a 15-30 second cold shower, but instead I feel that nightly cold face baths will be by compromise. Splashing cold water on the face will stimulate the vagus nerve, decreases the heart rate, stimulate the intestines and turn on the immune system. Cold water on the face is also known to tone the skin making it look fresh and more youthful, while also working as an anti-wrinkle cream. Cold face baths can help to prevent acne, relieve rosacea, promote the healing of sun damage, soothe the eyes and tighten the pores. So far every time I've done it, my face gets a wonderful warmth in it about 5 minutes after the bath. I'm loving it so far.


Oil Massage cheekbones, cheeks/jaw and under chin


Facial massage promotes healthy skin, circulation, relaxation, rejuvenation and helps us to look and feel better. My goal is to oil massage my face daily (preferably in the shower) while slowly breathing and working the areas that I am looking to tone or tighten.


My new Cycle Syncing Exploration

**Protein averages 15% of total daily calories

**Fats percentages I have chosen are what I am aiming for while always listening to my intuition

Menstrual Phase:

30% of calories coming from fats (55% Carbs)

Follicular Phase:

~23% of calories coming from fats (~62% Carbs) *Eat Sauerkraut

Ovulatory Phase:

15% of calories coming from fats (70% Carbs) *Raw Veggies, Smoothies

Luteal Phase:

~23% of calories coming from fats (~62% Carbs) *Add Calories from Grains & Root Veggies

My current favorite Snack

**1/2 ounce Unsweetened Chocolate with a fixed portion of either A or B:


  1. A) Nuts (a mix of some or just one type) brazil, almond, walnut, hazelnut, pine nuts, peanuts, pistachios, pecans, macadamia, etc.


  1. B) Nut butter (peanut butter, sun butter, almond butter, macadamia butter, cashew butter, hazelnut butter, etc.

Standing up against Human Suffering & Self Abuse

If I don’t have (or am not striving for) perfect homeostasis, happiness, glorious feelings in my body and absolute perfection in my gut, or if I am not perfectly aligned with my honest food item and quantity desires,  I am allowing and promoting human suffering. If I continue to suffer, then I am practicing a form of self abuse. I'm going to STAND UP for myself, my body and do EXACTLY what needs to be done WITHOUT fear. What’s worse? A bit of temporary weight gain and/or temporary indigestion or a LIFETIME of being overweight while ALSO experiencing inevitable digestive suffering and hormone imbalance? I'm choosing freedom and am asking the universe for guidance. I believe in myself, the process and am studying the translation of my inner encyclopedia (my second brain) and my hormones. I'm making a happy gut my #1 priority in life and EVERYTHING in my path is turning to gold.

Plans for the Future:  

I am so excited to announce that I will be entering myself in a Bodybuilding competition scheduled for late 2022 or early 2023. I will then decide which Division I will compete in and am looking forward to respresenting a Jumper's Physique on Stage!

Mindset Focus: When actively bodybuilding, fats and proteins help me to increase muscle mass which in turn burns fats. Carbs have their place, but there are times in the day when carbs shouldn't be the priority fuel. 

Next Week: I will be instructing & filming my Core & Face Routine that is toning my face and neck, eliminating belly fat and making my back and abs firm and rock hard.
