WHO'S FUELING THE WOMAN BEHIND THE WORK?

  Could Four Nutritional Power Players Be the Energy Starters Your Metabolism Has Been Missing? By Shawnte “Health” Wells | The Wells of Wellness Ladies, who's taking care of the woman who's taking care of EVERYTHING? You can run a business, manage a household, lead a team, handle deadlines, juggle responsibilities, and show up for everyone who needs you. But here's a question worth asking: Are you investing as intentionally in your metabolic health as you are in everything else you're building? That was the heart of my recent guest presentation with RESET: Women's Collective , where we explored an essential conversation for women navigating the next chapter of life. Our theme was THE POWER RESET: FUEL THE WOMAN BEHIND THE WORK. And we didn't spend our time chasing another miracle supplement or promising overnight transformations. We talked about something far more practical. Four nutritional power players that deserve a starting position in your wellness strate...

What's in Your Well? 5 Sources Shaping Your Metabolic Health

The 5 Hidden Sources Feeding Your Metabolism, Energy, Recovery and Longevity By Shawnte "Health" Wells | The Wells of Wellness What if the biggest thing draining your health isn't what's on your plate, but what you're drawing from every single day? Well People, I've got a question for you. When was the last time you checked the condition of your well? Not your bank account. Not your calendar. Not even the number staring back at you from the bathroom scale. I'm talking about the sources you're drawing from to sustain your energy, fuel your metabolism, manage stress, nourish your body, and live a long, strong, purposeful life. Because here's something I've learned after years in sports medicine, athletic training, health education, and metabolic wellness. You cannot keep drawing from a depleted well and expect your body to operate at its best. And that's exactly why I launched The Meeting Well Show . From the 100 Health Show to Meeting Well: ...

Your Metabolism Has a Traffic Problem! Could L-Arginine Help Open the Lanes?

Your Metabolism Has a Traffic Problem! Could L-Arginine Help Open the Lanes? The surprising connection between blood flow, muscle movement, cellular energy, and metabolic health. By Shawnte “Health” Wells | The Wells of Wellness Medicinal Monday | October 19, 2026 What if I told you that your metabolism might not have a fuel problem? It might have a traffic problem! Think about it. You can have a full tank of gas, a powerful engine, and somewhere important to be. But if the highway is congested, you're not getting very far. Well, Champions, your body has highways, too! Your blood vessels transport oxygen, glucose, amino acids, and other essential nutrients throughout your body. Your muscles and organs depend on that delivery system to function. And today, we're talking about an amino acid that plays a fascinating role in supporting those highways. Its name is L-arginine , and understanding what it does may change how you think about metabolic wellness. Metabolism Is More Than B...

Taurine: The Metabolic Bodyguard Hiding in Plain Sight

Image
  Muscle. Mitochondria. Blood Sugar. Heart. Recovery. One quiet nutrient doing a whole lot of work behind the scenes. If the word taurine makes you immediately think about energy drinks, you are exactly who I wanted to talk to on today’s 💯 Health Show. Taurine may be one of the most misunderstood compounds sitting right in front of us. For years, many people have looked at the side of an energy drink can, seen the word “taurine,” and mentally thrown it into the same category as caffeine and stimulants. But taurine is not caffeine. It is not a stimulant. And the more we understand what taurine actually does inside the body, the more interesting the conversation becomes. During today’s show, we took taurine out of the energy-drink aisle and put it where it belongs: inside the conversation about muscle, mitochondria, metabolism, recovery, cardiovascular health, cellular hydration, and healthy aging. And that is where things got good. Taurine Got a Bad Reputation by Association I use...

A Pound Down by Tomorrow? What Actually Moves the Scale in 24 Hours

Image
  Hydration, fasting, protein, movement, thermogenesis, and recovery without confusing a lighter scale with instant fat loss There is something about seeing the scale move quickly that gets everybody’s attention. I get it. But before we celebrate a pound disappearing overnight, we need to ask a better question: What actually moved the scale? Water? Glycogen? Food still moving through the digestive system? Inflammation? Or actual body fat? That distinction matters. During my recent Therapeutic Thursday session, I shared a personal 48-hour metabolic experiment along with the hydration, movement, nutrition, fasting, and recovery strategies I used. One message kept coming back throughout the conversation: Your metabolism is not broken. It has been assaulted, and it can be freed. Just as important, metabolic health is not one-size-fits-all. What helps one body may not work the same way for another. So this is not about chasing a gimmick. It is about creating an environment where your bo...

Berry The Doubt & Pack The Power!

  How Raspberries, Blackberries, Urolithin A and a Ruck Can Help You Stop Guessing and Start Moving Some folks are not stuck because they do not care about their health. They are stuck because they are standing in the middle of the wellness highway with two Road Worriers yelling directions at the same time. One is named Ambiguity . “I don’t know what to eat.” “I don’t know which workout is best.” “I don’t know where to start.” Then his tag-team partner Impulsivity jumps into the ring. “Buy this!” “Try that!” “Cut everything out!” “Put 40 pounds in a backpack and walk five miles today!” Baby, NO. That is exactly how we end up doing either nothing at all or entirely too much. On Ruckin’ & Buckin’ , we are taking on these Road Worriers with something much more powerful. A GAME PLAN. And today that game plan includes some beautiful little heavy hitters from the produce aisle, raspberries and blackberries , along with a fascinating compound called Urolithin A , plus one of my favor...

Lysine: The Quiet Builder Your Body Cannot Afford to Ignore

Image
  Muscle. Collagen. Recovery. Metabolic machinery. This little amino acid has been working behind the scenes. Some nutrients walk into the room making noise. Lysine is not one of them. Lysine is more like that dependable person on the team who does not need a microphone, a spotlight, or a dramatic entrance. Yet somehow, when you look around, half the important work would not get done without them. That is lysine. Today on the 💯 Health Show, we pulled this essential amino acid out from behind the curtain because lysine deserves more attention than it gets. And no, I am not about to tell you that lysine is some magical metabolism switch that will melt fat while you sit on the sofa eating cookies. You know I don't do fairy dust wellness. I do real talk, real healing, real results. First Things First. What Is Lysine? Lysine is an essential amino acid . Essential does not mean trendy. It means your body cannot manufacture enough of it on its own, so you have to get it throug...
