    Easter Week VLOG Brunch Table Decor Fitness Slower Life

    I’m sharing a real week in my life —focused on what truly matters now: – Simple Easter brunch and table setting/decor – Food prep and mostly carnivore, low-carb meals – Daily movement with resistance bands and functional fitness – Amazon unboxing (low-tox swaps + home essentials) – Morning routines: sunrise, journaling, EFT tapping – What I’m reading and learning (including A Course in Miracles) – Reflections on artist's dates, other lives we might have chosen, retirement, and creating a life you actually want This is not a typical vlog… It’s Holy Week, leading into Easter, and I’ve been reflecting deeply on faith, love, loss, and what it really means to begin again. I also gave up coffee for Lent (46 days!)—and surprisingly… I didn’t miss it. I'm committed to living with less noise. Less pressure. More clarity, health, and peace. What would you like to see more of in these weekly vlogs? Did you give anything up for Lent?

    72 Years Old, Fit, Buff Muscles,Thriving on Carnivore

    If you’ve ever wondered whether carnivore is too extreme… or quietly one of the simplest ways to feel your best—this conversation might shift your perspective. Today I’m joined by Laura Lynch, who at 72 years old is strong, lean, and thriving—and living proof that it’s never too late to redefine your health. But this isn’t just about what she eats… It’s about how she lives. In this conversation, we talk about: What led her to try carnivore in the first place How her energy, strength, and body have evolved Her gym workouts and staying active at 72 What she eats in a day Why she loves playing pickleball and how movement fits into her daily life We also get into real-life situations that so many people wonder about… ✅  Traveling on carnivore Laura shares what it was like spending time in Italy—how she approached meals, what she chose to eat, and how she navigated it without stress. ✅  Her Lion Diet phase She also experimented with a more strict version—just ruminant meat, salt, and water—and shares what she learned from simplifying even further. This isn’t about being perfect. It’s about removing what no longer fits… and finding a way of eating and living that supports strength, clarity, and freedom—especially in this stage of life.

  3. Simple Stoic Life Lessons From My Farm Boy Dad

    Simple Stoic Life Lessons From My Farm Boy Dad

    In a world of morning routines, mindset hacks, and constant noise… my dad was living a different way. He was a Texas farm boy, raised during the Great Depression. Up with the sun. Chores before comfort. A man of few words… and steady actions. He didn’t study Stoicism. He didn’t read philosophy books or talk about mindset. But looking back… he lived it. In this show, I’m sharing the quiet, powerful lessons I learned from my dad— about simplicity, discipline, emotional steadiness, and living within your means. Lessons that feel more relevant now than ever. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, overthinking everything, or chasing more… this might be the reset you didn’t know you needed.

    Not Retired. Not Hustling. What’s Next at 60

    If you’re in that in-between season of life… this is for you. As the 60s approached, I found myself asking questions I didn’t expect: What defines me now? Do I want/need more money… or just more life? What does a meaningful day actually look like?   I’m not quite retired… but I’m no longer interested in hustle culture. I’m choosing to live a slower, more intentional life—one that prioritizes peace, presence, and what actually matters.     I’ve been calling this chapter my Cavewoman Chronicles —a return to simplicity, intuition, and a more grounded way of living. This channel is evolving into something more real, more honest. You’ll see my life as it’s happening—not perfectly packaged, but authentically lived and experienced. If you’re also rethinking things… slowing down… or redefining what matters, you’re not alone. I’d love to hear from you: What are you redefining in this season of your life? What are you letting go of?

  5. Toxic Repressed Emotions

    MAR 6

    Toxic Repressed Emotions

    Grief doesn’t just bring sadness. Sometimes it brings guilt. Regret. Anger. And emotions we didn’t even know we were carrying. After my dad passed, I started noticing something important: many of the feelings that surfaced weren’t just grief—they were stories I had been telling myself for years. Stories like: “I should have visited more.” “I should have done more.” “I should have carried more of the responsibility.” In today’s episode on Lower Toxic Life, we’re talking about toxic guilt and repressed emotions—and how many women carry emotional burdens that were never truly theirs to carry. Because emotional toxins can be just as heavy as physical ones. In this conversation we explore: 🌿 The difference between healthy guilt and toxic guilt 🌿 Why daughters often feel responsible for aging parents 🌿 How repressed emotions show up in the body 🌿 The emotional detox that happens during grief 🌿 What well-meaning friends often get wrong about supporting someone who is grieving Healing doesn’t mean pretending everything was perfect. Sometimes it simply means allowing ourselves to feel the full truth of our emotions without shame.

  6. When Life Gets Messy: Caregiving, Cancer & Letting Go of Guilt

    FEB 28

    When Life Gets Messy: Caregiving, Cancer & Letting Go of Guilt

    When we talk about lowering toxins, we usually mean food, products, and environment. But what about emotional toxins? This episode is deeply personal. I’m sharing a year of my life that cracked me wide open — aging parents, my 29-year-old daughter’s cancer diagnosis, hospitalizations, assisted living, falls, a stem cell transplant, moving my dad in with us, and ultimately walking him home peacefully. And through it all? Guilt. Decades of it. Not visiting enough.Not helping enough.Not asking enough questions.Not being enough. The “shoulds” we quietly stack on ourselves as women. On Lower Toxic Life, we talk about reducing inflammation in the body. But chronic guilt, resentment, repression, and overwhelm are inflammatory too. They don’t just live in the mind — they live in the nervous system. In this episode, I share: How caregiving stress impacts the body The emotional weight many women silently carry The illusion of “doing everything right” Why guilt is often self-created How I found peace before and after my dad’s passing What we gave each other in his final 10 months And how I’m choosing to model something different for my children If you are navigating: Aging parents A child’s health crisis Midlife transition Burnout Suppressed anger or resentment Or decades of guilt This conversation is for you. Lowering toxins isn’t just about what’s on your plate. It’s about what’s in your thoughts.

  8. Healing With Meat: My First Year on Carnivore

    09/10/2025

    Healing With Meat: My First Year on Carnivore

    ✨ One year ago, I thought I was eating all the “superfoods” — leafy greens, nuts, seeds, sweet potatoes, berries — only to discover they were loaded with oxalates that were slowly wrecking my health. On September 1, 2024 I started easing into Carnivore (more like keto at first). By February 2025, I went all-in, meat-based. What happened next? Oxalate dumping hit hard — painful crystals stored in my joints, skin, and tissues started to release. It was rough, but it was also the breakthrough I needed. Over this year I’ve: 🥩 Cleared brain fog and gained steady energy 💪 Healed joint pain and inflammation (except during oxalate dumping phases) 🏋️‍♀️ Regained muscle strength and consistency in the gym 🍳 Simplified my kitchen — two meals a day, no cravings, no food noise 💰 Saved money ditching expensive produce, powders, and “health” foods A huge turning point for me was attending the Steak and Butter Gang meetup in Montana. Being surrounded by like-minded people who understand this lifestyle was truly life-changing. It reminded me how powerful community is when you’re on a path that most people don’t understand. 💡 If you’re curious about Carnivore or want to deepen your journey, don’t do it alone. Find your people — it makes all the difference. 📌 And speaking of community, I’ll be at MeatStock 2026, and I’d love to see you there! 👉 Use my referral code LTL for $50 off any ticket: MeatStock 2026 Tickets  This is my honest look at the good, the bad, the challenges, and the lessons from my first year on Carnivore. If you’re curious about this way of eating, or you’ve tried it and struggled — I hope my story encourages you. #Carnivore #CarnivoreKeto #CarnivoreDiet #HealingWithMeat #OxalateDumping #MeatHeals #MeatStock2026 #SteakAndButterGang #CommunityHeals Watch this episode on YouTube here! ✅ Carnivore Curious Playlist ✅ Curating a Life of Health, Wealth, Happiness and Joy Over 50, 60 and Beyond Playlist 🏃🏻‍♀️ My  functional movement playlist 📌 Affordable, In-depth Blood and Labs, Self Order: Go to LowerToxicLife.com - start lowering the toxins in your life - shopping lists, food labels and ingredients, recipes for cooking and personal/home care products and more!
