So, get this… Timmerie shares that Pope Leo has had an excellent workout routine. His trainer had no idea this humble, smiley, modest guy showing up a few times a week was even a Cardinal, let alone about to become the Pope. 😲🏋️‍♂️

This whole situation made Timmerie pause and ask:

👉 “Am I taking care of my body?”

👉 “Are you?”

We’re Body and Soul.

God didn’t just make us spiritual beings; He made us embodied souls.

 

🚨 The Pillars of Self-Care (According to Timmerie)

She breaks it down to four non-negotiables for basic human thriving, backed by science and super doable:

 

💤 Sleep

Get eight hours a night. Hormones and brain function need it.

 

🥩 Food = Fuel

Start tracking protein.

Your ideal body weight = your daily protein grams.

E.g., goal weight: 150 lbs → eat 150g protein/day.

This curbs hangry-snacking and helps you feel full, stable, and energized.

 

🌞 Sunlight

Aim for 15–30 mins of sun a day, even if it’s just working on your laptop outside.

Sun helps with vitamin D, sleep cycles, stress, and mood.

 

🏃 Exercise

Pope Leo did it 2–3x/week (before becoming the Pope). You can too.

➡️ Minimum goal: 30 mins, 3x/week.

➡️ Ideal: Something daily, even if it’s just 15 minutes.

Whether it’s walking, dancing, lifting random Amazon gear you forgot you owned, or following some quirky YouTube routine; you don’t need a gym membership. You just need a plan.

💥 Spiritual Mic Drop from Timmerie:

“God created our bodies. He knows what they need. So, let’s stop starving them of sleep, nutrition, light, and movement… and start treating them like the temples they are.”

And hey… next time you’re exercising, maybe offer it up for the Pope. He’s probably doing the same. 💙✝️
