The Best Gift I Can Give You ❤️
Hello!
I get beat up by a tree toward the end of my latest reel… 🌳😂
And believe it or not, it's appropriate because this week's message is about something we ALL humans experience: ANXIETY.
After 30 years of searching for what helps us live our healthiest, happiest, most fulfilling lives, I've learned something important.
The first gift I want to share with you, whether on social media or during a presentation to your company, school, or event, isn't a healthy recipe, a special ingredient, or a workout, which are important.
It's a simple, 60-second anxiety-controlling exercise.
Why?
Because I've observed that it's difficult to get motivated to eat healthier, exercise, get outside, make social plans, find meaning in our work, sleep well, have healthier relationships, or simply feel HAPPY when we're in the grips of anxiety.
Anxiety is a natural survival mechanism. Our brains scan for danger, and when the coast is clear, we're supposed to relax and enjoy our wonderful lives!
The problem? Sometimes we get triggered and STAY triggered.
Our thoughts, attitudes, stress, sleep, and especially the foods we eat can influence how we feel.
That's why my FOCUS • FOOD • FITNESS — The Best Self Experience is about so much more than eating well and exercising. It's about helping us feel better, think clearly, build confidence, and enjoy our lives!
❤️ MY GIFT TO YOU
Years ago, Frank, my therapist, shared a 60-second vagus nerve exercise to help my children and myself manage anxiety.
Now I'm sharing it with YOU.
It's a simple technique that may help you feel calmer when anxiety shows up.

And watch my latest reel to see what happens when I encounter that tree! 🌳😂
Sometimes, becoming our best selves begins with learning how to calm ourselves.
Thank you for being here and allowing me to share what I've learned with YOU. ❤️

🇨🇭 Special Announcement: A Collaboration with Sel des Alpes!
For more than 30 years, my work has been about helping people tap into their best potential through FOCUS • FOOD • FITNESS — The Best Self Experience.
And FOOD is an essential part of that experience.
That's why I'm so proud to announce my collaboration as a Culinary Ambassador for Sel des Alpes Swiss Fine Alpine Salt!
This isn't a decision I take lightly.
I recently traveled to Switzerland to visit the salt mines and saltworks, learn about this remarkable 200-million-year-old salt, and even cook for their wonderful team!
What impressed me most wasn't just the salt. It was the PEOPLE behind it.
Their commitment to environmental stewardship, hydroelectric power, resource conservation, and sharing surplus energy with their community reinforced why I want to support this company.
These are the people, companies, and ingredients I want to share with you.
Follow their story at @seldesalpes_usa.
🇨🇭 Where to Find This Special Salt
Many of you have asked where to purchase it.
You can find Sel des Alpes Swiss Fine Alpine Salt on Amazon.
💙 Thank You for Being Here
Thank you for watching my 90-year-old Greek mom, my brother, my children, and me cook, laugh, learn, travel, and do our best to live our best lives.
I hope somewhere along the way you've learned something that helps you live your best life and share those lessons with the children and people you love.
FOCUS: Find your purpose, control anxiety, and live with intention.
FOOD: Find the best ingredients on the planet to nourish your body and energize your life.
FITNESS: Train your body to build strength, confidence, and the ability to enjoy life to its fullest.
