written by Claire Rae

Hormone health is crucial for women’s overall well-being and affects a wide range of physical, emotional, and mental functions. Hormones are chemical messengers that regulate processes such as metabolism, mood, fertility, and even bone health. For women, hormones fluctuate significantly throughout different stages of life, including puberty, the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, postpartum, and menopause. Below is an overview of important aspects of hormone health for women, as well as strategies to maintain balance.

Healthy living for every age

by Claire Rae
written by Claire Rae

Healthy living is for every age and sharing is caring!

I want to continue to support everyone in their health journey. I believe that healthy people attract healthy people and healed people help heal people. A balanced lifestyle is one that has to be worked at and scheduled.

The best thing we can all do is live a healthy lifestyle and inspire and encourage as many as we can to do the same. Live by example and join those who want to make healthy choices. 

Things you can do right now to enjoy heathy living at any age:

  1. Plan healthy meals for you and your family. Consider others and their dietary needs. 
  2. Share a meal with someone outside of your own family and make it healthy. It’s always good to show others how and just to share.
  3. Plan weekly hikes or other exercise get togethers with friends. Gym buddies are great too and great place to hang out while working on your goals. I personally love a good game of pickle ball. 
  4. Pray with each other and show love and compassion to other people’s weaknesses. Support people who are trying to overcome temptation but abstaining with them.
  5. Support people in sobriety.
  6. Be honest with each-other in a kind but truthful way. Helping people succeed is best done by encouragement and support. Joining others in healthy activities and supporting them while making healthy choices.
  7. Balance is key. Keeping a journal of where you spend your time is a great way to make sure you are making time for exercise, family, friends, work, and very important rest. It’s also a good idea to track your diet when you start feeling low energy or low in your mood. There is often an imbalance somewhere that can be adjusted if you have a look. 
  8. Try and find people at your own fitness level to do activities with. It’s great to encourage others but you don’t want to be held back too often and you also don’t want to injure yourself trying to keep up with those more advanced. There is a time for all of it just make sure you have your own personal goals set first.
 

As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.

Making a healthy lifestyle change doesn’t have an age limit but making healthy choices early will be of benefit as soon as you get started. I invite you to join Shift 2025 starting in January. You can Register now!

Don’t limit yourself or let others limit what you can achieve. Make goals and put deadlines on them.

Mountain top moments

by Claire Rae
written by Claire Rae

Next level moments

It’s been a crazy summer and as much as I have wanted to share all the details, there simply has not been enough time to climb the mountains,  farm the land, entertain family and friends, fall in love, train, get good sleeps, cook and eat good healthy meals and rest. I thought I could quickly give you a little update to let you know things are going really great and phase 4 healing really has been the completion of my healing journey. God is at work as always and things are spectacular and better than ever. 

If you are popping in for the first time, my name is Claire and I have been a health and wellness coach for 20 years and I was put on a journey to learn first hand about recovery through an extensive trial and training period of 3 years, that included a traumatic brain injury from a snowboarding accident, followed by a cancer scare with a benign tumor, followed by a severe car accident where I broke my neck and suffered more brain trauma all while the world was shutting down and causing emotional and mental trauma. Not to mention losing two of my best friends to substance overdoses and watching other loved ones harm themselves with alcohol and substance to cope with the shifting times. It was a lot and a lot to take recover from.

Since July 2022 after the car accident I have been on the recovery journey and sharing what I can about the miracles, natural remedies and activities that God has been revealing to me during my recovery. I did not have much help from the medical field and my story is one for testimony purposes. My hope is that I can inspire, educate and just share my story that includes natural ways to heal through the guiding of God’s goodness and leading. He has given me a personal blueprint to restore through natural remedies, prayer and divine instruction. I believe He is using my story to help others and bring hope to those going through various trials and to remind people that He is the one with the answers and we can trust Him to bring us through many difficulties. If He can do it for me, He can do it for you or someone you love. 

He is on the move in our communities, countries and the world. He is at work as always and it truly is a glorious time to be alive.

Thanks for stopping in.

In my last post I told you guys that I was working with some farmers this year and have been truly having the time of my life, such a great group of people and the physical challenge is just what I needed to strengthen my body and brain. I don’t think I’ve ever had as much fun at work as I do with them and organic farming is just so very rewarding. Knowing you are helping feed other people healthy whole foods is such a good feeling. We have so much fun together at work we decided to go on an adventure because we often don’t have as much time to visit when we are working.  This trip was a great team build and time to get to know each other a little but better. I think these kinds of community activities are just so healthy and needed these days. If you have a church group, family event or work event, I would highly recommend planning a trip like this. 

I have been on a few hikes over the years while in recovery but this one was a little longer and a little more challenging. I probably would not have planned to do this one on my own but thankful I was pushed to do so. I have some pretty amazing people around me these days that keep me motivated and challenge me to go a little further and push a little harder. Everyone needs that from time to time and when you are in recovery, it’s important to have people understand your level, so not to push you too hard but also when you are ready, not let you stay in the comfort zone. I am definitely ready to leave the comfort zone and really push it. It can be so easy to fall into excuse zone when you have been knocked down a few times. You do have to push it and you will feel amazing after if you do, plus it will improve your recovery and hopefully all round life in general. 

As much as I love training in the gym for strengthening and maintenance, I am very driven by real adventures. The destination adventures are so rewarding and the pictures are always epic. 

 

If you are planning some hiking and you are new to the scene, I do want to tell you it’s a good idea to be prepared. You do need a backpack, water, snacks like trail mix. A good meal is important because these hikes are physically demanding. We had someone with bear spray because you just never know. I always like having a whistle but that’s more for when I’m alone. It always feels safer to go with a group and a lot more fun.

Reggie, was always running from the front of the group to the back making sure no one was getting left behind. He is the best companion and such a good adventure and  farm dog, we all love him.

I love the Alltrails app. It really has given us a ton of opportunity to find amazing trails. It also gives us a the information before we set out on our journey so we know how to prepare. I highly recommend downloading it if you haven’t already. 

The fun part about getting to the top of Eagle pass is that there is remains of an old cabin that was built up there. I just the thought it was inspiring to think of the work it would take to build at such a highly remote point with such an amazing view. Can you imagine waking up to that view daily? I guess if you wanted to you can always camp overnight to see what it would be like. It might be a little isolating but sometimes that’s just what a person needs. 

Anyway, I need to get going as summer is flying by and there is so much I still want to do but I am working on a book that will give more details of the ways God has led me through this interesting and exciting trial to be fully and completely healed. I am officially well now and look forward to having more to share with you in the coming months. I hope you make time to get out there and adventure too, if you are able and if you are also in a trial or recovery, let this story give you hope and remind you, it’s not forever, there are always mountain tops and valley’s on the journey and God is good all the time, all the time God is good.

Pea soup

by Claire Rae
written by Claire Rae

Over the holiday’s I was struck with a really bad flu, so bad that I wasn’t able to cook for myself and I’m not in a location currently with any type of skip the dishes apps or delivery. I was though very blessed to have some people drop me off some meals and take really good care of me but knowing how fast it can happen I decided to make sure I had freezer pre-made meals and soups on hand. Here’s one I really enjoyed and I also mentioned in one of my Youtube videos.
