Transform Your Food Relationship: Health & Longevity
In our fast-paced lives, we often treat eating as a routine task to complete three times a day. Amidst our busy schedules, we might forget that eating is an experience worth savoring. Because the truth is, eating isn't a chore. We have a long-term relationship with food. And like any relationship, we want it to be healthy.
A healthy relationship with food means having control over what we eat, not the other way around. It's normal to give in to cravings while making conscious and nutritious choices that nourish our bodies. This is where Reimagine™ Shape comes in. This herbal supplement, made with organic botanicals and hemp oil, can help us manage our appetite and make better choices about what we eat.*
Controlling our food desires.
We've all been there—sometimes we can't resist a salty snack or a sweet treat. This is especially true when we're facing external stressors like stress. In fact, clinical research has shown a link between higher cortisol levels (the stress hormone) and snacking in response to daily challenges. Stress-snacking happens. While it's not something to beat ourselves up about, understanding the difference between our hunger and our emotions is a step towards transforming our relationship with food. So after reading these four tips, you'll be one step closer!
Using plants for help.
Cravings can feel like a battle between willpower and desire—but it doesn't have to be. The Reimagine™ Shape formula supports balanced appetite with organic herbs like white mulberry leaf, organic green tea leaf, organic rhodiola root, and hemp oil delivering THCV, a minor hemp phytocannabinoid.* We know THCV sounds like THC, but this cannabinoid doesn't have psychoactive effects. The hemp oil in this formula delivers this and other more well-known phytocannabinoids (like hemp-derived CBD) to help promote satiation.* With a range of herbs, this formula helps curb cravings while supporting our metabolism.* We have a lifelong relationship with food; might as well get all the help we can get.
Choose being mindful over eating when stressed.
According to a survey by the American Psychological Association, nearly 40% of adults say they've snacked on junk food in response to stress within the past month. Stress is real, and we all do our best—but cravings may be a sign to find comfort in our favorite mindfulness activity. A brief meditation practice or even gentle yoga poses (paired with Reimagine™ Zen for calm vibes) can help shift our mindset toward our health goals versus stress-snacking.* Even more helpful, the newly discovered hemp phytocannabinoid THCV in Reimagine™ Shape supports brain connectivity.* Meaning, before you overeat, you may be more likely to think twice.*
Get enough of the right nutrients.
Sometimes cravings are triggered by our minds due to boredom or stress. But sometimes they are our body's way of telling us what nutrients it needs! For example, a sugar craving may be our body's way of signaling for more fuel to stabilize a drop in our blood sugar levels. It's easier to manage cravings if we know that our body's needs are being met at a nutritional level. If we aren't eating enough, or aren't eating a balanced diet, it's harder to control our cravings and establish a healthy relationship with food.
Learn the signals your body gives you.
As complex as our minds can be, our bodies are intelligent and self-sufficient machines. When it needs fuel, it sends a hunger signal. When it needs hydration, it signals thirst. When it needs rest, we start yawning (and turn to the sleep support of Reimagine™ Slumber). Science defines cravings as "pathologically intense feelings of wanting2," and a healthy relationship with food means distinguishing cravings from cues. And that's where Reimagine™ Shape comes in. With a formula years in the making, it helps improve connectivity between the gut and brain to help make those signals crystal clear.*
An ongoing process.
Our relationship with food is unique to each of us and constantly evolving. Reimagine™ Shape can be a supportive tool on this journey, which is often influenced by diet culture, media, and life's stressors. Transforming our relationship with food requires a gradual approach, one craving and habit at a time. It's much easier when we prioritize self-love and understanding.
