Life Force: Why Do Some People Have Endless Energy While Others Burn Out?
You eat all the right foods and take all the right supplements, yet still feel exhausted, while other people seem to eat what they want and have an abundance of energy.What’s going on?!Some clients come to me having tried carnivore, keto, low carb and every supplement under the sun but no matter what they do for their physical bodies, they still feel tired, stressed and burnt out. What we consume matters, absolutely, but what if I told you there's an infinite source of energy available to you beyond the realms of food and pills? I’m talking about life force and how tapping into it can transform your physical, mental and emotional well-being.Life force is the essence of being; it’s what keeps us thriving on this blue ball in space. It’s abundant in nature and while we often overlook its significance, it's a concept embedded in ancient healing practices across the globe. In India, it's known as prana; in Chinese medicine, it's referred to as chi or ki; and in Hawaiian culture, it's called mana. Irrespective of its name, the essence remains the same. It can be nurtured, expanded, or, unfortunately, diminished.A few years ago I worked with a client who had been living with fatigue for 14 years. Despite trying everything in the way of diets, supplements and meditations, she felt lifeless. During one session, she revealed her deep longing to start a business in the holistic space—something she'd always dismissed as impossible. I encouraged her to pursue this dream and she took a leap of faith. Two weeks later, she was transformed; her energy and zest for life returned.What held her back was the belief that her dreams were impossible and that is what diminished her life force.Something we don’t do often enough is sit quietly to ask the deeper questions. If you know that your life force is lacking and you want to cultivate a higher sense of vitality and freedom in your life, start by thinking about what truly excites you, even if it doesn’t feel possible. It's all about doing what brings you life and stopping the things that don't.LINKSFurther Training: https://vesnahrsto.com/join-evolution-webinar Double Your Energy Masterclass:https://peak-revival.captivate.fm/yt-masterclassWebsite: www.vesnahrsto.com Mentioned in this episode:Buh-Bye Burnout

Negative thinking: How to stop it and change the way you feel
How many hours a day do you spend in stressful thinking? One hour, six hours, 12 hours? When I ask people this question, they’ll usually say, “Oh, maybe an hour.” And trust me, that is a huge underestimation! We've become so accustomed to our level of negative thinking that we don't even notice it anymore. Conversely, when I ask people how many hours of their waking day they spend in a quiet, peaceful mind, they’ll say: “Oh, I’m lucky if it’s an hour”. That means all other hours of the day - let’s say 15 waking hours - is being spent in stressful thinking. So how does constant, long term negative thinking really impact us, and how do we stop it? Today, I’m taking you through the biochemical effects of negative thinking, how to identify common negative thought patterns and how you can break the cycle to change the way you feel. By paying attention to our internal dialogue and choosing to focus on the positive aspects of our lives, we can radically transform our mental and physical well-being. Remember, it really is a choice. You have the power to reclaim your thoughts and in turn, your life.LINKSFurther Training: https://vesnahrsto.com/join-evolution-webinar Double Your Energy Masterclass:https://peak-revival.captivate.fm/yt-masterclassWebsite: www.vesnahrsto.com

Why you can't control your hunger or appetite
It's ingrained in our culture to believe that losing weight is simply a matter of eating less and exercising more. But anyone who's tried this route knows the intense cravings and hunger that can so often follow.Think of your body as having a metabolic control centre—a command hub that regulates hormones influencing your appetite, cravings, and even how much energy you expend. While we can't directly control this metabolic centre, we can influence the signals it receives. Stress, poor sleep, and inappropriate eating patterns can send harmful signals, which makes your body switch to glucose over body fat as an energy source. By reducing stress and prioritising relaxation, you create a safe environment for your body to burn body fat for fuel.Ultimately, we need to shift our perspectives from self-blame to a broader understanding of the many external factors that influence our metabolism. Only then can make informed lifestyle changes that support our overall health and help manage our hunger more effectively.LINKSFurther Training: https://vesnahrsto.com/join-evolution-webinar Double Your Energy Masterclass:https://peak-revival.captivate.fm/yt-masterclassWebsite: www.vesnahrsto.com

3-Step Hormone Reset To Lose Weight, Build Muscle & Increase Your Energy
It’s that time of year again! If you’re like most people out there, you’re probably experiencing that universal feeling of sluggishness –possibly due to a bit of celebrating or a disrupted exercise routine.Maybe you've been socialising, overindulging and noticing some unwanted weight gain creeping in. You had those goals to lose weight this year, but life happened, right? But don’t worry - hope is not lost. I’m taking you through a 3-step hormone reset plan we use in my programs that has helped so many women do things a little differently and find success in their journey to losing weight.It's pivotal to understand that after 35, hormonal shifts make weight loss more challenging and weight gain easier. Women in particular see changes due to hormonal imbalances and stress, both significant factors in weight management.Additionally, modern diets and poor food quality, filled with preservatives and processed ingredients, work against us by inducing nutritional deficiencies that slow metabolism. Constant dieting or having a "diet mentality" doesn’t help either, as these approaches can deteriorate metabolic health over time.The 3-Step Hormone ResetSo, let’s take a look at the three key systems to focus on in order to nourish the hormones responsible for a super fast metabolism:Revitalising the AdrenalsSupporting the Pancreas and LiverNourishing the ThyroidIt is possible to reach your weight loss goals, all while enjoying a balanced, satisfying diet. But as I always say, this journey is most importantly about repairing your metabolism, with weight loss as a welcoming side effect.
