You don’t have to eat a salad to support your health.

Health can look like warm, roasted vegetables.
It can include fat and protein that help stabilize blood sugar and support mood.

Mental health nutrition isn’t about forcing “healthy” foods. It’s about choosing what actually helps you feel regulated and well.

Sometimes, that’s bacon and veggies.

What I eat in a day with no time to cook, all on the go, but still supportive of my mental health 🤩

- low sugar overnight oats for stable blood sugars
- gluten free & protein/fiber rich
electrolytes - hydration for nervous system support
- protein, fiber, fat for balanced energy & steady mood
staying hydrated for clearer thinking
salmon, kale and quinoa for omegas, healthy fats and protein

Even my busiest days are rooted in how I was raised - by a mental health nutritionist. Mental clarity, energy, and emotional balance all start with food.

👉 Save for your next day on the run!

Struggling After Baby?
You’re not alone, and you’re definitely not “failing.”

Looking to bust through writers block, I recently read a series of honest postpartum stories on Reddit that highlighted something we don’t talk about nearly enough: postpartum mood changes are often rooted in real, physical depletion.

Nutrient loss. Hormone shifts. Low estrogen. Low vitamin D. Thyroid dips. Blood sugar swings. Microbiome changes.

These aren’t character flaws—they’re biology.

I wrote a new article that gently walks through what’s happening in the postpartum body and why so many women feel overwhelmed, anxious, or unlike themselves.

Even if you’re not postpartum, someone in your world is—and they need this clarity.

Struggling with postpartum mood changes? Learn how nutrient depletion, hormone shifts, and simple nutrition support can help you this season.

Have you ever been spiritually strong but physically running on fumes?

I recently joined Sherrika Sanders on the She Leads Boldly Podcast for an honest, faith-filled conversation about how Christian women can align their nutrition, mental health, and spiritual life to reclaim their joy, energy, and clarity.

We talked about what it means to truly honor God with our bodies — not from a place of perfectionism or guilt, but with grace, wisdom, and awareness. Because yes, your well-being is not selfish — it’s sacred.

In this episode, we dig into:
💡 How to listen to your body with discernment, not judgment
🍎 Why nutrition is often the missing link to emotional and spiritual balance
🙏 How to invite God into your healing process
📖 The power of fasting and food rhythms through a Biblical lens

If you’ve ever felt stretched thin or worn out from serving everyone else, this conversation will remind you that you were created to thrive in body, mind, and spirit.
