A Behind-the-Scenes Look at Coach Sherri's Daily Life Tuesday, March 25, 2025

Being a holistic health coach is an incredibly fulfilling journey. It allows me to guide and support individuals as they transform their lives through healthier lifestyle choices. By living what I teach and prioritizing my own well-being, I ensure that I can be my best self—for my clients, my loved ones, and myself. This upcoming blog post will offer a glimpse into a typical day in my life.

Today is a day off from my work as an independent contractor. After completing an intense and demanding three-week project, this week is dedicated to rest, recovery, and self-care—a much-needed opportunity to recharge and realign.

4:40 AM: I woke up to take my T3 medication. Since I can't eat or drink for an hour after taking it, I prefer to take it early and then return to bed for a bit more rest.

6:15 AM: I wake up before the sun rises and immediately put on my blue-blocking glasses. This habit ensures that the first light my eyes encounter is the natural glow of the sunrise, not the artificial illumination from screens or indoor lights

6:30 AM: I make it a non-negotiable to eat breakfast within an hour of waking. This practice is essential for several reasons—it supports overall health, boosts energy levels, and enhances daily performance. For me, the primary benefit is stabilizing blood sugar levels. Starting the day with a breakfast rich in protein, healthy fats, and fermented foods helps regulate blood sugar, preventing energy crashes, irritability, and cravings later on.

Today’s breakfast included eggs, butter, bacon, brisket, shredded pork, jalapeños, and yogurt—a delicious and balanced start to the day!

7:15 AM: I stepped outside wearing my blue-blocking glasses, which I removed once outdoors, to wait for the sunrise scheduled for 7:28 AM. Barefoot and standing on the grass, I embraced the crisp 50-degree morning in shorts and a T-shirt. This exposure to chilly temperatures offers numerous health benefits, such as improved circulation, reduced inflammation, activation of brown fat, enhanced immune function, and better sleep quality.

As dawn broke, I immersed myself in the symphony of nature's sounds. This practice of sound bathing has been shown to positively impact mental health by reducing stress, improving mood, and fostering relaxation—an invigorating start to the day!

7:50 AM: I brought in my solarized water, which had been outdoors for 24 hours, and used it to prepare my hydrogen water. As I sipped, I appreciated the benefits of this unique hydration practice. If you’re curious about solarized water, check out my earlier blog post, “Unlocking the Potential of Structured Water.” Stay tuned for an upcoming post where I’ll dive deeper into the benefits of hydrogen water!

8:15 AM: I made a glass of cold brew coffee infused with electrolytes and fulvic acid. Following my daily ritual, I intentionally wait a full 90 minutes after waking before indulging in my coffee—a mindful practice designed to maintain steady energy levels throughout the day. Keep an eye out for an upcoming blog post where I’ll explore the advantages of delaying your morning coffee intake!

9:30 AM: I had a productive phone call with my co-host, Coach Becky. We brainstormed strategies to help clients overcome obstacles and outlined ideas for a personalized blog. This blog will showcase a day in each of our lives, offering insights to support others on their path to better health. It will cover topics like nutrition, stress management, sleep hygiene, and more. Throughout the conversation, I continued to drink my hydrogen water, consuming an average of 60-70 ounces—a steady commitment to staying hydrated!

10:12 AM: We took a short break and stepped outside to soak up some UVB rays. Ultraviolet B (UVB) is a type of solar radiation that plays a crucial role in stimulating vitamin D production in the simple yet powerful way to support overall health.

11:20 AM: I took a moment to wash my face and apply lard—a skincare choice that might seem unconventional to some. Truthfully, it's the only product I use on my skin, and it works wonders for me. We had the privilege of interviewing Charles Mayfield, the founder of Farrow, to dive deeper into this natural approach to skincare.

12:00 PM: I took my second dose of T3, as part of my twice-daily regimen. As with my first dose, I refrain from eating or drinking for an hour afterward.

I also joined our daily community social on the BNC Community at noon—a wonderful opportunity for connection and support. Engaging with a community like this fosters a sense of belonging, reduces feelings of isolation, and promotes emotional well-being. It’s a space where we can share experiences, encourage one another, and strengthen our collective journey toward better health. The power of community truly makes all the difference

1:17 PM: Lunchtime is here! I savor a protein-packed meal featuring turkey and bacon wrapped in an Egglife wrap, accompanied by a crisp pickle. I use this moment to step away from work and embrace mindful eating while enjoying the outdoors.

1:30 PM: I spend my early afternoon creating content for my blog and social media channels. This may include writing articles for our blog. I also engage with my online community, answering questions and providing support.

2:15 PM: I took the next 40 minutes to sit with my red light and practice mindful meditation. Red light therapy offers numerous benefits, including improved skin health, reduced inflammation, enhanced muscle recovery, and boosted circulation. Pairing this calming light with meditation creates a deeply restorative experience for both the body and mind.

5:00 PM: Dinner time! Yesterday, we tackled bulk food prep, grilling 10 burgers and 8 clean-ingredient brats. Tonight, I enjoyed a brat paired with asparagus—a delicious and satisfying meal that perfectly wraps up my macros for the day.

7:00 PM: This evening, I co-coached our BNC Community Mental Health meeting while sitting outside and watching the sunset. The experience was not only meaningful but also deeply aligned with supporting my circadian rhythm. As the sun sets and darkness approaches, it signals your body to start producing melatonin—a hormone essential for preparing you for restful sleep. Watching the sunset provides a natural cue to regulate your internal clock, reduce stress, and promote overall mental and physical well-being. Combining this calming practice with community connection made for a truly enriching evening.

7:45 PM: After the sun sets, I put on my blue-blocking glasses and wear them until bedtime to support my evening routine. As part of my protocol for optimizing thyroid and hormone health, I also took progesterone. For more details on this journey, check out my blog post, “My Journey with Keto Carnivore, and the Unexpected Turn to Medication,” dated January 28, 2025.

8:30 PM: I had a client coaching session, where we discussed her food preparation strategies and celebrated the incredible progress she has made over the past three weeks. Seeing her success and growth is truly rewarding!

9:30 PM: As the evening winds down, I engage in a bedtime routine that promotes restful sleep. This includes turning off electronic devices.  Time for bed — I prioritize getting 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night to support my overall health and well-being.
