Peak Revival

Are you beginning to slow down a little?It’s hard to believe it’s this time of year again but here we are - Christmas is around the corner and 2025 is fast approaching! But before you bring 2024 to a complete close, now is the perfect opportunity to reflect, recharge, and set the stage for a new year. To help you end the year strong, I’m sharing five essential self-care habits that you can tap into now while the pace of business begins to slow down. Prioritise Regular Pathology TestingAs business owners, it’s easy to push personal health needs to the back burner. But this is your reminder not to wait until it’s too late. Make Sleep Non-Negotiable I always tell my clients the secret to re-energising is the "Power of Eight before Ten." Aim to be in bed by 10 pm and get yourself a full eight hours of sleep.Take a Creativity DayI encourage my private clients to take a full day once a year to completely disconnect from digital distractions. Yes, that means no phones or laptops allowed! Commit to Personal Coaching or MentorshipDecember might be a hectic month, but it's also a great time to set clear intentions for the coming year. Energise Through SocialisingAs things slow down, take advantage of this period to reconnect with family and friends. Feel the energy boost that genuine social interactions offer, rather than viewing them as draining tasks you need to escape. These five habits are my top recommendations for closing out the year strong and paving the way for an even better one to follow. The creativity day may require more time and commitment, but it’s worth the effort. I’d love to hear which habit you’ll join me in adopting for an incredible end to the year. Here’s to finishing strong and starting 2025 with vitality and purpose!LINKSDouble Your Energy Masterclass:https://peak-revival.captivate.fm/yt-masterclassWebsite: www.vesnahrsto.com Mentioned in this episode:Buh-Bye Burnout

I love ticking things off my to-do list. Finishing a project gives you this natural high, leaving you feeling satisfied and accomplished in your work.But so many women I talk to feel like no matter how hard they work, they never get to the big, meaningful projects.They feel busy all the time, they’re caught up in shallow work and don’t have the physical energy or mental capacity to hone in on the deep work. A lot of women come to me asking, is it ADD? Is it brain fog? Why do I feel like I’m constantly busy but getting nowhere?There are plenty of productivity hacks out there but today I’m exploring what’s happening in your brain when it comes to performance and focus. More importantly, I'll share how you can leverage nutrition, dietary tweaks, and lifestyle changes to enhance your mental capacity.Tracking Your Daily ActivitiesI recently embarked on a little experiment with some clients who were caught in this cycle of busyness without productivity. Together, we started tracking their daily activities in 30-minute increments over seven days. The results were astounding.Addressing the Root CausesSo what can we do about it? For some clients, a simple boost in mental activity was achieved with supplements like L-theanine, an extract from green tea that enhances performance. However, for others, the brain's exhaustive state called for a deeper look into overall body wellness.Addressing digestive health often reveals a web of connected symptoms, such as inflammation that disrupts brain function, leading to ADD-like or dementia-like symptoms. It's also crucial to regulate cortisol levels and blood glucose to prevent those energy crashes that commonly happen after lunch.To finally start pushing the needle forward on those big projects, consider tracking your daily activities to highlight any patterns going on. From there, you can begin to see what dietary and lifestyle changes you might need to make.

Many of my clients come to me with chronic bloating, heartburn and reflux. They’ve tried everything from supplements and probiotics to meticulous dietary changes, but nothing seems to work. They find themselves caught in a frustrating and extremely uncomfortable cycle and I’ve been there too! It took me five years to find the answers to my severe bloating - it amazed me to discover that my digestive issues weren’t the result of the food I was eating. Gut workTackling digestive issues begins with thorough gut care—balancing pH levels, getting rid of unwanted bacteria, nurturing good bacteria, and repairing the gut lining. Reduce cortisolMake thoughtful tweaks to your diet, sleep routine, and caffeine and sugar intake - anything that might contribute to your cortisol levels. Hypervigilant ThinkingMental stress is another key player, and is often overlooked. When we’re constantly overthinking our symptoms, it keeps us in a fight-or-flight state rather than the healing zone. If you’re experiencing bloating or other digestive issues, have you tried looking beyond the usual dietary interventions? Do you catch yourself in the cycle of overthinking and stressing about your symptoms and what remedy you can try next? This might be part of the problem.LINKSDouble Your Energy Masterclass:https://peak-revival.captivate.fm/yt-masterclassWebsite: www.vesnahrsto.com Mentioned in this episode:Buh-Bye Burnout

Perimenopause can be a really challenging season. The hormonal changes occurring during this time can lead to depression, which affects everything from your energy levels to your career and relationships. But what if I told you that a complete transformation is possible… and that it could happen faster than you think? Typically, we recommend clients approach the program step by step, gradually implementing small habits to avoid overwhelm. However, Kim chose the accelerated path, tackling everything at once. By week two, Kim experienced a remarkable change. My client, Kim, had tried every hormone replacement therapy drug known to man and joining the Buh-Bye Burnout program was her last resort.
