🥕🥦 Updated food guidance! 🥦🥕 I’m loving the continued shift in nutrition guidance that puts the focus back where it belongs — REAL FOOD. 🙌 Instead of building meals around processed carbs, the emphasis is now on: 🥬 More vegetables (the foundation of the plate!) 🍓 Fruit for natural sweetness & nutrients 🍗 Healthy protein to support muscles, metabolism, and hormones 🥑 Healthy fats for satiety and brain health 🍞 Less emphasis on complex carbs — and far less on processed foods This approach supports: ✨ Better blood sugar balance ✨ More stable energy ✨ Hormone health ✨ Reduced inflammation ✨ Sustainable weight management Food isn’t meant to be complicated or restrictive. When we center our meals around whole, colorful, nutrient-dense foods, our bodies often respond with clarity, strength, and resilience. Progress over perfection. Real food over processed. Nourishment over deprivation. 💚 Who’s excited to build their plate this way?

There’s a lot of debate around intermittent fasting, especially for women, which is why I found this podcast conversation with Dr. Austin Lake so interesting. Rather than skipping meals, he encourages a nourishing breakfast and lunch while shortening the evening eating window to better align with circadian rhythms, hormone balance, and insulin sensitivity. He also dive into how inflammation drives many hormonal issues, why detox is about supporting the body’s natural systems (not extreme cleanses), and how simple lifestyle shifts can make a big difference. It’s a thoughtful, body-aware approach to women’s health that challenges some popular trends. What are your thoughts? Do you fast, skip meals, or focus more on timing and nourishment? https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/196-could-skipping-breakfast-be-messing-with-your/id1557557205?i=1000701578614
