The Habits We Actually Stick To

Let’s Unwind: What We’re Sipping, Snacking & Syncing With

Hey friends!

This week, we’re diving into the habits we actually stick with—because let's be honest: it’s easy to start something, but way harder to stay consistent. Whether it’s supplements, snacks, or swaps that make us feel better (without making life boring), we’re sharing what’s been working for us lately.

From leveling up our chip game 🥔 to finding an afternoon coffee that doesn’t wreck our sleep ☕—this week’s Sync Stack is all about those real-life upgrades that are simple enough to keep going.

Let’s get into it.

🧠 Habit Stacking Isn’t Just About Vitamins

When people talk about “habit stacking,” they usually mean:
➡ After I brush my teeth, I take my magnesium.

That works—but here’s another version that’s just as powerful:
Upgrading a craving without cutting it out.

“I’ve always loved chips—salty, crunchy, totally satisfying. I still eat them, but I’ve worked hard to be more intentional. First, I swapped out the junky ones for better options—like Boulder Canyon or Lesser Evil, made with avocado oil and simple ingredients. And second, I actually pay attention to how much I eat. I stick to the serving size instead of mindlessly going through the whole bag.

It’s not about cutting things out—it’s about upgrading and owning the habit. That’s what makes it stick.” - Jaylene

What’s one craving you can keep—just upgraded?

☕️  IQJOE Instant Coffee Review

We tried this smarter take on instant coffee—boosted with antioxidants and adaptogens. Here’s our honest take:

✅ Pros:

• Contains Magnesium L-Threonate + Lion’s Mane adaptogens

• Delivers smooth energy, improved focus

• No crash, no late-night wired feeling

• Ideal for that second cup without regret

⚠️ Cons:

• It’s instant coffee. So don’t expect a barista-style latte.

• That said, the Caffe Mocha and Vanilla Spice flavors actually taste pretty good—those are our top picks.

Pick your poison. If you’re after clean energy and cognition support without the crash, IQJOE is definitely worth a try. 

💡 Would we repurchase? Yes—especially for high-focus afternoons or travel days.

🧭 Final Sync Tip

Small upgrades matter more than big overhauls—especially when they’re repeatable.

Whether it’s choosing a better-for-you snack, adding one new supplement, or swapping your evening drink for something that helps you recover, the key is making that change easy to repeat. That’s how consistency builds.

Look for the 1% shifts you can make this week.
They may not look dramatic—but they compound faster than you think.
