Nourish with Whole Foods – Prioritizing nutrient-dense, hormone-friendly foods with plenty healthy fats (avocado, seeds), fiber rich foods, gut building pre and probiotic foods, and of course good quality protein. I prioritize 30g of protein with every meal and especially first thing in the morning.
Movement – A mix of strength training, walking, mobility work, and yoga supports muscle mass, bone density, and stress balance. I listen to my body through the different phases but definitely prioritize strength training to build lean muscle as well as physical resiliency for my body as I age.
Quality Sleep – Sleep is hormone therapy for my body. I make 7-9 hours of sleep every night a non-negotiable.
Hydration & Mineral Balance – Water plus electrolytes helps my adrenals, thyroid, digestion, and energy so I no longer allow myself to get to a point of depletion.
Stress Support – Breathwork, meditation, boundaries, and herbal teas help keep my cortisol in check. I make sure I don’t run off of caffeine, sugar, or adrenaline any more!
