Remember, you’re not on autopilot. You have the ability to pause, breathe, and decide what you truly want - not just what’s convenient or impulsive. Each food choice is an opportunity to align with your goals and values.

Before your next meal or snack, take 10 seconds to pause. Ask yourself:
-what does my body truly need right now?
-how do I want to feel after eating?

Now drop an emoji in the chat that describes how you want to feel after that meal?

1/4 cup chopped mint or basil.
Zest of 1 lemon 🍋 & juice.

Take off heat.
Add lemon zest and juice.

A little late to the trend, but these are nutrition propagandas I won’t buy into.

What else would you add?

1. Nootropics: compounds/ supplements to enhance cognitive performance. Ok, coffee is one thing, but taking synthetic compounds or prescription drugs just to clear brain fog isn’t a good idea. Taking a stimulant doesn’t just work that way and it could be dangerous. Instead, aim for 7-9 hours of sleep nightly, get good nutrition all day, balance your blood sugar, & drink ~64 oz water daily.

2. Fruit is too sugary. Fruit is full of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Aim for no more than ~3 Servings daily and balance with protein. (And, no, an orange is not “like eating a candy bar.”

3. You should detox with a juice cleanse. Your body has natural detoxification abilities through the liver and kidney. Cleanses will just empty your pockets and put you at risk for dehydration and losing electrolytes.

4. Eggs 🥚 are bad for your heart: eggs have gotten a bad wrap due to their cholesterol content. The FDA has confirmed that eggs meet their updated definition of “healthy”. Eggs have high quality protein, are nutrient-dense, and support overall health. Eggs can be part of a heart healthy diet.
