KEY TAKEAWAYS:
-
The 100-Day Pillars Challenge aimed to deliver small, digestible knowledge each morning, offering quick insights on key wellness pillars. These micro-learnings, ranging from one to five minutes, provided a daily boost of wisdom while encouraging deeper exploration through linked research and articles. The challenge helped participants push past the typical short-term engagement of most challenges and commit to a long-term exploration of movement, mindset, metabolic wellness, and community.
-
The challenge encouraged members to embrace what worked for them rather than feeling pressured to do everything perfectly. Christine highlighted how she engaged with daily readings without necessarily journaling, and Cece found value in bookmarking resources for ongoing learning.
-
A significant insight for many participants was the impact of gut health on emotions and overall well-being. Learning about ultra-processed foods and tools like the Nova app will shift perspectives on nutrition and metabolic wellness.
