Struggling with energy dips, cravings, or mood swings?
Your blood sugar might be out of balance.

Blood sugar isn’t just about sweets. It’s affected by what you eat them with, how much, when you eat, stress levels, and even how well you sleep.

🍽️ Skipping meals?
🍬 Eating carbs alone?
😴 Not sleeping well?
These can all cause your blood sugar to swing up and down, and your energy with it.

Did you know? Eating carbs with protein or fat (like apple + peanut butter) helps slow digestion and supports steadier blood sugar.

Small things you can start doing today:

βœ… Pair carbs with protein or fat
βœ… Eat every 3–4 hours
βœ… Add a short walk after meals
βœ… Get 7–9 hours of sleep
βœ… Take breaks to lower stress

Swipe through for simple ways to support steady blood sugar all day.

Want your new habits to actually stick? Try habit stacking!

Pair a small, healthy action with something you already do every day, like sipping your morning coffee, brushing your teeth, or opening your laptop.

Example: Forget to take your vitamins? Habit stack it to after brushing your teeth.

Tiny steps + consistent triggers = BIG change over time.

What new habit would you love to stack this week?

πŸ’₯ A simple habit that makes a big difference:
The 20-Minute Rule

After finishing your meal, wait about 20 minutes before going back for seconds. This gives your brain time to register your fullness so you can eat more mindfully and avoid that uncomfortable "too full" feeling.

The goal is to find the right portion that satisfies but doesn't leave you feeling weighed down with poor energy. This is especially important when indulging in holiday eats - learn to enjoy some AND feel your best! It doesn't have to be "all or nothing" 😜

Try it at your next meal and see how your body responds!

Baking with sugar substitutes doesn't have to be confusing!

Allulose gives that perfect golden color, monk fruit keeps things light and sweet, erythritol adds structure, and natural options like coconut or date sugar bring rich flavor.

Each sweetener has its own personality, some dissolve easily, some brown fast, and some need a little help from blends. Part of the most recent blog explains exactly when to use each one, how they behave in recipes, and what to expect.

If you love experimenting in the kitchen (or you're trying to cut back on sugar without sacrificing flavor), this is your guide.

Your holiday baking just got easier.

This isn't your sad desk salad.

This is crunchy, slurpy, flavor-packed masterpiece. It's got tofu, noodles, veggies, sesame, soy, the works.

It's giving "I have my life together" energy (even if you're eating it in yoga pants between meetings).
