Put Your Head in the Game

Health doesn’t just happen in the body—it starts in the mind.
A colleague recently shared how one line in her 23andMe report—“more likely to be good at endurance”—shook something loose. Despite a lifetime of identifying as a non-athlete, that tiny phrase planted a new thought: What if I’ve been telling myself the wrong story? She started a 5K running program. Not because she suddenly believed she was a runner, but because she allowed herself to question a belief she’d long held as fact.

This is what it means to put your head in the game.
To challenge the mental framework you've been operating inside.
To realize that what you believe is shaping how your body shows up.
Where your attention goes, energy flows.
And if your attention is locked on limitation—I’ve always been this way, this will never change—you'll keep repeating the same loop.

What if your symptoms aren’t fixed truths, but byproducts of old assumptions?
What if the doorway to change isn't effort, but inquiry?

Start here:

• Is what I believe about myself actually true?
• Who would I be without this belief?

Put your head in the game. Your biology is responsive. And everything shifts when the narrative does.

Lemon Water: Not Quite the Morning Miracle

Ah, lemon water, the wellness world's favourite morning ritual. It’s often hailed as a digestive elixir, detoxifier, and metabolism booster. But let’s set the record straight: while lemon is a natural sialogogue (a substance that stimulates saliva production), the idea that it optimizes digestion, detoxes your liver, or melts fat is... well, mostly sour hype. There’s little scientific evidence to back those bold claims, and quite frankly, dentists are not amused.

Lemon water is acidic, thanks to citric acid, and while that tang can be refreshing, it’s also quietly eating away at your tooth enamel. That outer shell is your teeth’s armour and once it’s gone, it’s gone.

We’re talking:

• Increased sensitivity to hot and cold
• Higher risk of cavities, not lower
• Discoloured teeth
• Potential breakdown of fillings and crowns

Not exactly the glow-up you were going for.

If you must sip the citrus, do it with a straw to save your teeth or rinse with water afterward. You can also minimize the acidity in your mouth by breakfast immediately after.

Lemon water’s a vibe—but it’s not a health revolution.
