​
​YOUR LINEAGE MAY BE A MIRROR OF WHAT YOUR FUTURE HOLDS

I had a heart-to-heart conversation with a dear friend recently. She was visibly anxious, her voice tinged with concern, as she spoke about her family’s medical history. Diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer… these weren’t just words to her—they were real, lived experiences woven into the fabric of her family’s story. And as I sat there listening to her, it made me pause and reflect.

Do we really stop to ask the right questions about our own health?​
Are we paying attention to the warning signs in our lineage?
Are we doing what we can now to create a healthier future for ourselves—and those who will come after us?

For instance, maybe you come from a family where two or three generations have lived with hypertension. Maybe both your parents are managing diabetes. Perhaps your aunt, your grandmother, or your cousin was diagnosed with a certain type of cancer. And while we can’t control our genes, we can influence how we respond to them.

The truth is, there is no clear yes or no answer when it comes to whether we’ll walk the same path.
But what I know for sure is this: we are not powerless.

Our parents are aging. Some of them are navigating chronic conditions that could have been mitigated or even prevented with lifestyle shifts. And it makes you think—what choices can we make today to change the narrative?

• Can we be more mindful about what we put on our plates?
• Can we make movement a daily ritual instead of a once-in-a-while thing?
• Can we prioritize sleep, joy, stress management, and yes—delicious, healing food?

What if the legacy we pass on is one of vibrancy, nourishment, and intentionality?

I say this with love: Learn from your line.​
Not with fear—but with wisdom. With care. With reverence.

So tell me…
What’s your take on being plant-based?
Does it feel aligned for you—or maybe it’s still unfamiliar territory?

I’d love to hear your thoughts. Hit reply and let me know. You know I read every message.

BEEE WELL WEEKLY TIP:

Tune Into Your Body’s Cues

One of the most powerful tools for nourishing yourself isn’t a diet plan—it’s your body’s own wisdom. Learning to connect with your body’s cues for hunger and fullness can completely shift your relationship with food. Before you eat, pause and ask yourself: Am I truly hungry, or am I eating out of boredom, stress, or habit? During your meal, check in—notice how the food tastes, how your stomach feels, and whether you're starting to feel satisfied. After eating, take a moment to reflect: Do I feel energized and content, or sluggish and overly full?

This practice of mindful eating helps you develop trust in your body, and makes eating more enjoyable and intuitive. For example, maybe you notice you’re not actually hungry in the afternoon, just thirsty—so you reach for water instead of a snack. Or you realize you’re satisfied halfway through your plate and decide to save the rest for later. These are small but powerful shifts.

TIPS TO STRENGTHEN THE CONNECTION:

• Pause Before Meals – Take 10 seconds to breathe and tune in.
• Use a Hunger Scale – Rate your hunger from 1 (starving) to 10 (overfull). Aim to eat around a 3–4 and stop around a 6–7.
• Eat Without Distractions – Put the phone down, turn off the TV, and focus on the experience.
• Notice How Food Feels – Which meals leave you feeling nourished, which leave you drained?

REFLECT WITH CURIOSITY:

• What does hunger feel like in your body?
• Are you stopping when you feel satisfied, or only when your plate is empty?
• How does your mood affect your eating habits?

This isn't about rules—it's about awareness. When you listen closely, your body will tell you exactly what it needs.
