Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but is it helping or hindering your gut & brain health?
Oatmeal + fruit feels like a safe healthy breakfast, right? But here’s what most don’t realize:
🥣 Oats + fruit = high-carb, low-protein meal that can spike your blood sugar.
🧠 Blood sugar spikes = inflammation + stress signals in the body, which can impact your gut lining, mood, focus, and energy.
Your gut and brain are constantly talking. Blood sugar rollercoasters can fuel anxiety, irritability, cravings, and digestive issues.
✨ For gut-brain healing, it’s key to stabilize blood sugar. Here’s how:
✅ Add protein (collagen, eggs, nut butter)
✅ Add healthy fats (chia seeds, coconut flakes, grass fed butter)
✅ Consider lower-sugar fruits (berries > banana)
✅ Balance carbs with fiber to slow glucose spikes
You don’t need to ditch oatmeal, but balancing your breakfast can support gut healing, stable moods, and steady energy.
👇 Have you noticed your mood or gut symptoms worsen after high-carb breakfasts?
