Mama, there’s a reason you’re feeling more for

Mama, there’s a reason you’re feeling more forgetful, have difficulty concentrating and wake up with brain fog. And it’s not just because you have more on your plate now.

Your brain changes during pregnancy.

I’ve experienced these symptoms first hand and once I learned this doesn’t have to be “normal” started prioritizing little things that are incredibly impactful.

Needed Cognitive Support – I started this targeted supplement and the only way to describe it is like I don’t have a ping pong ball of thoughts bouncing around in my head. I thought this was just the way my mind was, but I was soo wrong. I feel much more calm and in a flow state (aka clear headed and able to concentrate!!). Truly WILD!!!

Comment “SUPPORT” and I’ll send you my Needed code for a discount!! #neededpartner

The research and dedication Needed puts into optimizing ingredients and supplement formulas is unmatched. The Cognitive Support combines a blend of 9 targeted, safe and effective nootropic and botanical ingredients to support focus and attention, brain health and memory, and alleviating brain fog and eye fatigue. Unlike most cognitive supplements it can be taken while breastfeeding!

INTENTIONAL MORNINGS – it’s so easy for me to rush into getting things done in the AM. I’ve been prioritizing grounding practices that calm my body and mind as soon as I wake up. This has looked like at least 20 oz water first thing, 5 minutes of breathing and affirmations, and red light therapy. I also make sure to tidy the kitchen and put away the dishes before bed because my mind feels more at ease waking up to an organized space (at least in one room!).

I then check in with myself. How did I sleep? How am I feeling? How can I move my body today in a way that feels good? I get in some movement before the kids wake up. Ideally, rinse off and get ready but that doesn’t always happen 🙂

If you’re struggling with your mental load - from stress, to caregiving, multitasking, technology use, and the unique demands of everyday life, just know that little shifts can drastically lighten that load and make you feel more like yourself again.

GROCERY LIST FOR GUT HEALTH // save this list to u

GROCERY LIST FOR GUT HEALTH // save this list to use as a starting place for your next grocery haul. You don’t need to buy all of these each week. Try to incorporate as many as possible and weave them into recipes for a healthy gut.

Pick and choose what you like, switch it up each week, incorporate a variety, and plan ahead!

Here’s how to make your grocery list complete and make it work for you.

- Try to plan out at least 3-4 dinners at home for the week and a rough plan for breakfast, lunch and snacks.

Ex. keep on hand Greek yogurt, berries, and seeds for yogurt bowl (breakfast/snack) and add specific ingredients for your planned dinners (salmon with asparagus and rice).

Was this helpful? Let me know what you’re struggling with when it comes to nourishing your body, gut health and hormone balance. It’s all connected!

If you’re lacking energy, don’t have an appeti

If you’re lacking energy, don’t have an appetite, can’t maintain a steady weight or have period problems chances are your hormones aren’t in balance.

What does it FEEL like to have balanced hormones?

- sleeping 7-9 hours a night
- energy throughout the day
- stable mood
- no brain fog
- clear skin
- healthy sex drive
- pooping 1-3x per day
- able to maintain a steady weight
- bbt averages 97.4 in follicular phase and 98.5 in luteal phase
- no painful periods
- no PMS symptoms
- a menstrual cycle between 24-35 days
- no mid-cycle spotting
- ovulating each month

If this doesn’t sound like you, let’s get those hormones balanced! While there are quite a few ways to balance your hormones here’s my 5 areas to focus on:

1. Manage blood sugar - eat within the first 30min of
waking and then every 3-4 hours focusing on protein, carbohydrates and fats at each meal.

2. Manage stress - add stress reducing practices into your daily routine. Try 5-10 minutes of meditation.

3. Reduce inflammatory foods - minimize vegetable oils and sugar while increasing antioxidants through fruits, and vegetables and omega-3s.

4. Support detoxification and digestion: FIBER, dandelion tea, castor oil, raw carrot salad, beets.

5. Quality sleep - 7-9 hours of quality sleep! Create a relaxing bedtime routine and avoid blue light/screens 1-2 hours before bed.

If you need extra support COMMENT “FOUNDATIONS” and I’ll send you the link to my Foundations for Hormone Balance Guide.

This guide is designed to cut through the noise and get the foundations in place so you can heal. It’s over 100 pages of hormone healing resources including a 4 week protocol, 40+ blood sugar balancing recipes and so much more.

Let me hold your hand through this process. You don’t have to do it alone 🤍

Because your body does this so well… until it do

Because your body does this so well… until it doesn’t. Our modern society doesn’t make this easy. We’re bombard with things our body has to filter out CONSTANTLY.

Think of it like this — your detoxication pathways in your body are like an intricately designed plumbing system.

It works great flushing out waste, food, etc until there’s a backup in one of the pipes. This starts off slowly, you don’t really know there’s an issues until it’s completely clogged and nothing will drain or your have an overflowing toilet.

This is the same with your detoxification pathways. They works great and do an amazing job flushing out and filtering all the environmental toxins, foods, and metabolic byproducts until they get overburdened. They start not working as efficiently and symptoms start to show up signaling there’s an issue.

If you don’t pay attention to the subtle signs, there’s going to be a major back up which can affect numerous pathways and hormonal systems.

HOW TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING?

1. Reduce environmental toxin exposure — swap out your make up and cleaning supplies, use glass vs. plastic, no fragrance, try to buy organic when possible.

2. Take care of your detoxification pathways. Think of it as an act of self care.

Just because something “works” doesn’t mean you don’t need to take care of it. Just because you have organs doesn’t mean you don’t need to support them.

Do you agree or not? I hope you do 😊
