Apple Crisp Kefir Breakfast Bowl

Breakfast is my favorite meal for women's health.
This is because
the proper balance will keep your blood sugar stable
you get to pack in nutrients first thing in the morning
your metabolism loves a good quality breakfast
the quality of your breakfast literally sets the tone for your ENTIRE day
For women’s health , I LOVE to focus on a breakfast that includes lots of protein, anti-inflammatory fats, AND fiber.
But breakfast aside, appropriate food + nutrition in crucial for stress resiliency, proper digestion, hormone balance, energy regulation, and women’s health in general.
Look at it this way..
If you are deficient in nutrients, on a blood sugar roller coaster, eating foods that spike inflammation, your body’s internal stress response is going to be HEIGHTEND.
When stress is spiked (both internally and externally) :
you have less resilience to life stress (the stage is set for burnout)
hormones get put on the back burner (aka hormone imbalances manifest)
digestion gets put on hold (hello digestive symptoms)
energy gets severely depleted (insert energy crashes, poor sleep, etc.)
.. the list could go on!
All that being said you can most definitely adjust nutritional habits and use foods to both support your hormones and reduce that stress on your body.
