Exactly How To Embrace JOMO (Joy of Missing Out) All Year + Why It Will Benefit Your Health

As a functional medicine practitioner, I’ve seen firsthand the wonders that slowing down and resting can have on a person’s health. In fact, the benefits are so profound that I’ve long referred to my love of self-care and taking time to rest as JOMO: the “Joy of Missing Out”.

The antithesis of our FOMO culture (fear of missing out) that leaves us feeling burned out and running on fumes, JOMO (Joy Of Missing Out) gives us back our happiness, a sense of calm, and brings us back to the present moment so we can focus on what truly matters. 

Ultimately, JOMO is all about taking time to care for the most important person in your life - yourself - by saying no to things that don’t serve you so you can free up your time to spend it doing things that build you up with the people that build you up.

And while many people might think that self-care is selfish, it is actually necessary for you to thrive! After all, you can’t pour from an empty cup. In order to show up for everyone else in your life, you must first show up for yourself!

So to help you get started with a life of JOMO (Joy of Missing Out), I wanted to highlight some of my favorite tools that will help you take the best care of yourself all year long - physically, mentally, and emotionally!

Two of my supplements from The Collection - The Magnesium and The Antioxidant - come together to help you find your zen, destress, sleep better, promote glowing skin, support thriving cellular health, and help you feel better overall so that you can enjoy each season to the fullest.

1. The Magnesium will help you find your zen

For most people, our months are filled with busyness, chaos, and stress. With kids activities, work, travel, social gatherings, and endless activities, it's easy to jam-pack your schedule and spread yourself too thin. Whether it's the new school year, holidays, summer, and everything in between, every season has its own set of unique stressors.

And while it's normal to be faced with occasional stress, what's not normal is ongoing stress that never eases up. This creates a vicious cycle that can lead to a whole slew of chronic health issues. But eliminating stress is much easier said than done. Sometimes we need a little extra support!

So after you have said no to plans and are at home living the JOMO (Joy Of Missing Out) lifestyle, support your body’s natural ability to destress with The Magnesium. Another essential within The Collection, The Magnesium’s delicious lemon-lime flavor will have you forget that you’re taking a supplement! 

Magnesium works to support the pathways in your body involved with a healthy sleep-wake cycle, a stabilized mood, and mental clarity and focus. Plus, unlike other magnesium supplements on the market, The Magnesium is formulated with clinically-backed Albion chelated magnesium plus Magtein™ (magnesium L-threonate), the only form of magnesium proven to cross the blood-brain barrier.

2. The Antioxidant will help enhance your youthful glow

Spending time outdoors and in the sun is so beneficial for our health. However, this can also expose us to increased levels of environmental pollutants and UV radiation that can lead to harmful free radicals in our cells, oxidative stress, and potential damage to our DNA. And whenever we aren't outside, we are indoors sitting on our phones and laptops, exposing our skin to damaging blue light.

Antioxidants are powerful compounds found in many fruits and vegetables that work to counteract these negative effects by reducing inflammation, supporting immune function, and protecting our cells - the building blocks of our health! They also play a role in maintaining healthy, glowing skin.

Since your body doesn’t naturally produce antioxidants on its own (and it can be difficult to get enough through food alone), it’s important to consider supplementing. The Antioxidant is formulated with a blend of fruits extracts from extensively studied super-fruits and berries including grape, pomegranate, blueberry, chokeberry, mangosteen, cranberry, goji berry, apple, and bilberry that work together to enhance your cellular health, promote cardiovascular function, and win the fight against aging for a life-long radiant, youthful glow.

However you are enjoying your JOMO (Joy Of Missing Out) year, The Antioxidant is there to help ensure you are protecting your health so you can continue thriving all year long!
