PREGNANCY BREAKFAST PLATE 🍳 farmer cheese(prob

PREGNANCY BREAKFAST PLATE 🍳

farmer cheese(probiotics, protein, calcium!!)
2 eggs + whites (protein, fat, choline)
microgreens (boost of nutrients)
toast & butter (complex carbs + butyrate)
Manuka honey (immune support)
nectarine + figs (vitamins, minerals, fiber)
daily hydration blend + calendula (minerals, antioxidants, uterine tone, lymph)
lemon ginger shot (digestion + bile flow)
prenatal, choline, NAC, omega-3, lactoferrin (all part of my current prenatal stack)

It’s not eating for two in terms of calories but rather the nutrients, probiotics and antioxidants.

Ever wonder why some weeks you’re all about sala

Ever wonder why some weeks you’re all about salads... and others you’re a bottomless pit for chocolate and carbs?

It’s not just cravings, it’s your blood sugar.  Your sensitivity shifts throughout the month, which means your carb tolerance shifts too.

And in case you think the answer is cutting carb…it’s not. It’s about knowing which week can handle them and which week needs more support. (And confession: carbs usually aren’t even the real culprit!!!! I broke that down in an earlier post)

Save this for the week your cravings hit and you start blaming your willpower because it’s not willpower, it’s hormones. 
Got questions?? Ask away 🤍 I’m here to be your go-to girl for all things hormone health.

Comment CARBS and I'll send you the full breakdown of what's actually driving your blood sugar swings and the exact daily habit that supports each one.

Because I get asked this constantly: "Which carbs should I cut if my blood sugar's a mess?"

Here's the truth: your blood sugar isn't reacting to the bread, the fruit, or the potatoes. It's reacting to the state of your metabolism. Which is exactly why cutting carbs "works"... until it doesn't. Trust me I know from experience 😭

Swipe through for 4 of the real drivers, plus the one nutrient deficiency I see missed constantly (it helped my own fasting insulin from 7.6 to 2.5).

Save this before you fear another piece of fruit. Send it to a friend who thinks she just needs more willpower 🤍

You don’t have to give up dessert. You just have

You don’t have to give up dessert. You just have to build a better one. Like this 5-ingredient cookie dough bark.

Comment BARK and I’ll send you the full recipe + my ingredient upgrade list straight to you, as part of my series, One Small Change, in partnership with The Washington Post.

Because if you always crash after something sweet and immediately want more, it’s not a willpower problem. That’s a blood sugar crash.

And the fix is simpler than you think.

When sugar hits your bloodstream without enough protein to slow it down, your body overcorrects with insulin and drops your blood sugar fast. That crash is what makes you tired, foggy, and reaching for more even though you just ate.

So instead of giving up the sweet treats you love, start upgrading them. Swap the flour. Add protein. Use whole food sweeteners.

It’s one small change but a completely different blood sugar response.

Fiber is a non-negotiable for hormone balance and

Fiber is a non-negotiable for hormone balance and we’re aiming for 30 grams a day minimum (!!) yes, both protein and fiber matter. But one sets the foundation for everything else.

Fiber feeds your gut, slows blood sugar spikes, supports estrogen clearance, and keeps you full between meals. Most women are getting less than half of what they need daily and their hormones are feeling it.

Here’s how 30g of fiber actually looks in a day:

1 cup raspberries: 8g
2 tbsp chia seeds: 10g
½ cup cooked lentils: 8g
1 medium avocado: 10g
1 cup broccoli: 5g
1 slice sourdough bread: 2g
Total: 43g

Which means hitting 30g is more doable than you think

SAVE this and start tracking for a few days. Most people are shocked at how low they actually are.
