MENTAL HEALTH NUTRITION 101: What Foods to Eat...

What Foods to Eat so You can Increase Energy, Decrease Anxiety, & Balance Hormones


I promise you that when it comes to the "I just don't have any idea of what to eat" conversation, you are absolutely overthinking it!⁠

Allow me to break it down for you...⁠

Food, my dear, you need to eat food.⁠

A meal does not need to be a gourmet "dish" with a fancy name...it is just your fav bowl/plate filled with random food items you have on hand.⁠

This illustration is just to give you a deeper understanding of what exactly you should be putting onto your plate...and why!⁠

And you want to make sure that you are eating enough!⁠

Did you know that those who experience fatigue/low energy often are consuming far too little nutrients to sustain them?!? ⁠

A lack of nutrients is a key contributor to hormonal imbalance and of course anxiety...as the body feels as though it is on the brink of a famine...scary!⁠

Stop counting/measuring and start listening to how you are feeling!⁠

And because I know you might be hitting up my inbox, here are some FAQs⁠

Q: Is it ok to just eat a bowl of fruit for a snack?⁠

A: Absolutely eat the fruit + enjoy some protein (ie nuts) to sustain your energy as opposed to a rise & crash of energy making you feel all the more exhausted!⁠

Q: Is it ok to eat frozen/dried foods instead of fresh?⁠

A: 100% Yes! Just have a peek a the label to make sure that there little to none unnecessarily added "preservatives"⁠

Q: I just hate so many vegetables, do I have to eat them?⁠

A: Only eat the food you like, but I also encourage you to try a new food on a regular basis. Perhaps you don't like broccoli for example, because the last time you tried it, it was just steamed & plain. Try baking it & adding seasonings, even just regular sea salt, with some olive oil or butter drizzled on top & then let's see if you like it!!


How about you? Do you wrestle with the "I just don't have any idea of what to eat" conversation?
