✨ I’m speaking at TWEN 2026. ✨

I’m so excited to share that I’ll be taking the stage at The Women Empowerment Network (TWEN) 2026—a powerful gathering where health, wealth, and leadership come together to ignite real transformation.

And I’ll be speaking on something that changes everything:

🔥 Gut-Driven Greatness: The Gut-Brain Secret Every Woman Should Know

Because here’s the truth —
Confidence. Clarity. Energy. Resilience.
They don’t just start in your mindset.

They start in your gut.

When inflammation is high, blood sugar is unstable, and the microbiome is out of balance, leadership feels harder. Focus feels foggy. Confidence feels fragile.

But when your gut is supported?
✨ Energy steadies
✨ Mood stabilizes
✨ Mental clarity sharpens
✨ You show up differently

TWEN is more than a conference—it's a room full of women choosing growth, courage, and connection. I am honoured to be part of that conversation.

If you’re attending, I would love to connect with you there.
And if you’ve been looking for a space that supports your health and your ambition—this is it.

Let’s elevate together. 💛

✨ Your breakfast sets the tone for your brain. ✨

If you’re feeling foggy, cranky, or reaching for caffeine by 10 a.m., your first meal of the day might be working against you.

Refined carbs and sugary breakfasts can spike blood sugar — and what goes up must come down. That crash? It shows up as fatigue, irritability, brain fog, and cravings.

But here’s the good news:
The right breakfast can support:

✔️ Balanced blood sugar
✔️ Steady energy
✔️ Better focus
✔️ Improved mood
✔️ A healthier gut microbiome

In Roxane's newest blog, she share two delicious, science-backed recipes designed to support the gut-brain connection — including a cozy Chocolate Chai Overnight Oats and a Fresh Herb Green Shakshuka packed with protein, fibre, omega-3s, and brain-loving nutrients.

Because your mood isn’t random.
It’s connected to your gut, your blood sugar, and the nutrients you give your body.

Start your day in a way that supports your hormones, brain, and energy — not fights them.

🌿 Happy Weekend from No Shoes Nutrition! 🌿

Weekends are more than just a break, they’re an opportunity.

An opportunity to:
✨ Rest
✨ Reset
✨ Reconnect
✨ Re-energize

Use this time to nourish your body and your nervous system. Go for a walk in the sunshine. Sip your tea slowly. Laugh with your family. Put your phone down for a bit.

And if you can, take 30–60 minutes to gently prepare for the week ahead:
🥕 Chop a few veggies
🍗 Cook a protein
🥗 Wash your greens
📝 Make a simple meal plan

A little weekend prep can mean steadier blood sugar, less stress, and fewer “what’s for dinner?!” moments midweek.

Health isn’t built in dramatic Monday overhauls — it’s built in small, consistent choices.

Rest well. Nourish well. Prepare gently.

You deserve to feel energized heading into your week 💚

🧧✨ Happy Lunar New Year from No Shoes Nutrition! ✨🐉

As we welcome a new year filled with possibility, may it bring you vibrant health, steady energy, joyful connection, and meals shared around tables rich with tradition.

Lunar New Year is a beautiful reminder that food is more than fuel—it's culture, family, symbolism, and love. From nourishing dumplings to colourful vegetables and soothing broths, these traditions reflect something we deeply believe in: when we honour our roots and eat with intention, we thrive.

Here’s to fresh starts, balanced blood sugar, happy digestion, and a year paved with good intestines 😉

Wishing you prosperity, resilience, and radiant wellness in the year ahead.

With love,
💛 The No Shoes Nutrition Team

Alternative sugars don't have to mean artificial sugars. Coconut sugar adds a deep, caramel flavour. Date paste brings natural sweetness plus fibre and nutrients. And monkfruit offers plant-based sweetness without the blood sugar spike.

Join us to discover how natural alternatives impact blood sugar differently than refined sugar and how to use them to support steady energy and a balanced mood. We'll talk about how these sugars behave in baking and ways to swap them into your regular baking routine.

Sweet can still be simple - and supportive.

🍫 What if chocolate could actually improve your health?

Not the sugar-loaded, crash-inducing kind…
I’m talking about raw cacao. The chocolate that is rich in antioxidants, magnesium, and flavanols that support your heart, brain, and gut.

In my newest blog, I break down the research behind why cacao:

✔ Supports healthy blood pressure and circulation
✔ Nourishes the gut microbiome
✔ Enhances cognitive function
✔ Reduces inflammation
✔ Helps stabilize mood (without the crash)

Yes… chocolate that truly loves you back.

And when you pair it properly with protein, fat, and fiber? It becomes functional nourishment — not a guilty pleasure.

If you’re working on improving your gut health, reducing inflammation, supporting weight loss, or simply feeling more energized in 2026, this is a must-read.

❤️ Happy Valentine’s Day from No Shoes Nutrition! ❤️

Today isn’t just about chocolate and roses…
It’s about nourishment.
Connection.
And loving your body well.

At No Shoes Nutrition, we believe the sweetest love story is the one you have with your health.

Because when your blood sugar is balanced…
When your gut is happy…
When your energy is steady…

You show up differently.
For your partner.
For your kids.
For your friends.
For yourself.

So today, enjoy the chocolate 🍫
But maybe make it dark.
Maybe make it homemade.
Maybe pair it with protein 😉

And remember — loving yourself well isn’t restrictive. It’s empowering.

We’re so grateful for this community choosing to nourish their bodies with intention. That’s real love.

From our kitchen to yours,
Happy Valentine’s Day 💕

With love,
Roxane & Megan

Brown sugar is not healthier than white sugar.

I know… it sounds healthier. It’s darker. It feels less processed. It even smells richer.

But here’s the truth:

👉 Brown sugar is simply white sugar with molasses added back in.
👉 It has virtually the same impact on your blood sugar.
👉 It still contributes to inflammation, energy crashes, cravings, and hormone disruption.

Your body doesn’t say,
“Oh good! This one is brown.”

It still spikes. It still crashes. And the cravings still follow.

If you’ve been trying to “cut back” but feel stuck in the sugar cycle… this class is for you.

Sugar doesn’t just affect blood sugar; it feeds (or starves) your gut microbes. 👣

Your gut microbiome plays a powerful role in digestion, inflammation, immunity, and even mood. When added sugar intake is high, it can disrupt microbial balance, weaken the gut barrier, and fuel inflammation throughout the body.

In our latest blog, Love Your Gut: How Sugar Affects Your Microbes, we break down:
✨ how sugar shapes your gut microbiome
✨ why microbial diversity matters
✨ and what to eat instead to support gut health without extremes

Loving your gut isn’t about cutting everything out. It’s about nourishing the microbes that support your health.

👉 Read the full blog on our website www.noshoesnutrition.com and learn how small, realistic food shifts can make a big difference.
