Tell us about yourself.
My name is Sarah. I am a wife and mom of 2 kiddos with one on the way. My passions include Jesus, traveling, exploring the outdoors, fitness, and healthy food.
When and why did you become interested in a healthy lifestyle?
I became interested in a healthy lifestyle when I was around 22 years of age. I realized that as we age, it is so important to take care of our bodies to maintain top performance, mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I knew that when I got older I wanted to be able to play sports, keep up with my kids, hike, and do all kinds of physical activities well into old age. I realized that if I didn’t start focusing on my health right away, those goals wouldn’t be realistic.
In November of 2017, I was diagnosed with an autoimmune thyroid disease called Hashimoto's. I was tired all of the time, no energy to workout, and struggling to take care of my two kids. I experienced extreme brain fog, which led me to BrainON fresh-frozen superfood. I started taking this daily and it helped tremendously. I then had to take my health more seriously than I ever had before. I cut out gluten, soy & most dairy -- and was able to help alleviate my symptoms from Hashimoto's.
I realize it is a life-long journey with any autoimmune disease, so maintaining optimal health is necessary to feel and do my best in all areas of life. Food has amazing benefits and E3Live has played a huge role in that for me.
What are your favorite E3Live superfoods and why?
I love BrainON because it improves my mental clarity and sets the tone for the day. Blue Majik is also amazing and easy to incorporate in smoothies and drinks.
Any tips on how to incorporate E3Live superfoods into recipes?
Don’t be afraid to experiment and find out what works best for you. I’m always experimenting with food and trying new things. It’s easier than you think to sneak these superfoods into almost anything.
What are your #1 health and fitness tips?
I like to encourage people to focus on Holistic health. This includes the overall health of your mind, body, and spirit. I truly believe that the three of these things are connected hugely. For me, the spiritual aspect is my relationship to Jesus Christ, and meditation through prayer. Having this as a daily part of my spiritual life has such a positive effect on everything I do. It changes the way I perceive things.
As for our mind and body, these are also connected hugely. The way you treat your body affects the way you think. It’s proven that physical activity and keeping your heart rate up, as well as ingesting healthy food and drink, has a direct positive effect on your overall mood and mind. I think it’s so important to pay attention to all of these things equally. Mind, body & spirit.
What's next for You Cook Beautiful?
I’m working on launching a website and writing a few cookbooks. I’ve been asked over and over when I’m going to write a book. I just started my Instagram blog in April, so my next step is to focus on creating unique healthy recipes that can only be found in these books.
