Are you ever overwhelmed by everything happening around us? I won't list it all here because you're already aware of it. But what if we shifted our mindset and made this Summer our Happy Summer?

Just the act of writing those words makes me yearn for more joyful days.

And you know what? It's entirely possible. Let's embark on this journey together. Here are some ways to cultivate a happy gut, as it all begins there. By doing so, we can pave the way for a happy summer for you and your children, ultimately leading to a happier you!

Happiness stems from two areas: the brain and the gut, including its bacteria. The health of our brain is influenced by our beliefs and the state of our gut. The brain nourishes the gut, and the gut nourishes the brain.

We can nurture our brain through our beliefs and gut bacteria. Start by examining your beliefs. Choose you this day whom you will serve. Sound familiar? Shape your thoughts and perspectives regarding each situation. Do everything without complaining. Does that ring a bell?

I challenge you, along with your family and friends, to declare this summer as the season of no complaining. I remember a time when I watched my grandkids, and if they complained, they had to do five push-ups. It only took one instance for them to embrace the fun and attempt to catch others complaining. We transformed an energy drainer into an enjoyable game while eliminating complaints.

Would you rather complain and do push-ups, or choose to perceive situations differently? Believe me, when families adopt this discipline, fun ensues.

Now, let's nourish the brain with the right nootropics and bacteria. 

Nootropics are natural brain boosters. However, exercise caution, as many products are mere stimulants. When you find reputable sources with the right ingredients, nootropics can be the key to unlocking your happy summer.

Furthermore, when we feed our gut with appropriate extracts and pre/pro/phyto biotics that promote brain health, resilience follows naturally. I recently visited a local farm, and they provided me with fresh raw milk. It was a game-changer for my brain. The abundance of beneficial bacteria, enzymes, and nutrients flooded my system, igniting mental clarity, resilience, and feelings of happiness.

Of course, not everyone has access to fresh raw milk, so let's consider the first two of the Three Principles instead:

Eat the foods God called good for us. When we consume fruits, vegetables, locally raised clean meats, and whole grains, we triumph. Our gut eagerly welcomes these choices, and our days become overwhelmed with blessings.

Eat the foods as close to God's design. Avoid experimental lab creations, which make up over 70% of grocery stores.

But what if food alone isn't enough?

Recently, I conducted an interview with Missy Anderson, who ate healthy yet still suffered and felt suicidal. She needed additional support and a prompt response. The answer to her prayers came in the form of the right supplements. You can watch that interview here.

The same was true for Leisa Higbee. She suffered from autoimmune issues that left her bedridden and depressed, despite adopting a healthy diet. Again, the right supplements made a significant difference in her life. You can watch that interview here.

Sometimes, food is the first step, and it's always the right step. However, in some cases, supplements become necessary. Both options are viable and can contribute to healing the gut, paving the way for happy summers.

But what about the kids?

Children deserve the same attention. Summer is the perfect time to make positive changes and prepare them for an incredible school year. Start with the Three Principles and introduce discipline as needed. Finally, if necessary, incorporate suitable supplements for a happy summer experience.

Here's an interview I conducted with Dr. Shawn Talbott on improving children's moods. You can watch it here. It's time for our kids to rediscover the joy of life, reminiscent of the 1980s – happy summers, reduced anxiety, decreased forgetfulness, and fewer instances of ADD, among others. These symptoms often stem from processed foods and other chemicals pervasive in our environment.

Remember, the mind craves worship. When kids and adults alike struggle with excessive distractions that hinder their ability to function, it becomes difficult to find solace in worship.

So, when it comes to the kids:

Start with the Three Principles.

Transform the kitchen into their new playground, replacing handheld devices with spoons and mixing bowls. Trust me, it works.

Finally, introduce supplements that nourish the gut, allowing the brain to experience clarity and happiness. You can find the Happy Juice Pack here.

Cheers to a Happy Gut, a Happy Summer, and a Happy You!

I am grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with Amare, a company whose sole purpose is to promote happiness. When I first learned about them, I knew it was essential to share their mission with you because you matter to me.

Unlike costly stimulants that create the illusion of effectiveness, Amare focuses on providing plant-based solutions that bring balance to neurotransmitters such as serotonin, GABA, and cortisol. These neurotransmitters are crucial for achieving a state of happy balance. When our body functions as intended, happiness naturally follows.

I only recommend what has been tried, proven, and personally taken by me. In fact, I'm so passionate about it that I'm willing to offer you gifts from my own pocket as an additional blessing when you make a purchase.

I highly recommend trying the Happy Juice Pack, which I personally enjoy every afternoon. Not only does it taste delicious, but it also helps keep my mind sharp as I create more content for you!

Additionally, Amare has allowed me to extend blessings to you. When you order using this link: amare.com/en-us/g10/ANNETTE10, you'll receive a $10 discount on your first order if you haven't purchased from them before. If you've ordered from another source, you can still use this link.

Furthermore, the first 25 individuals who use this link and place an order of $129 or more will receive a FREE GBX Protein! This gift will be sent to you after your order has been processed, and it comes directly from me.

Remember, a happy gut begins with eating the foods that God deemed good, while avoiding experimental lab creations. To cultivate a happy summer, consider incorporating supplements if you need additional support. I'm grateful that I did so for myself, and I believe it can make a positive difference for you too.

Ultimately, happiness starts with disciplined thoughts, choosing life-giving words over complaints, and avoiding unnecessary push-ups. 😅

May you be blessed abundantly!
