Red-light therapy to help nervous system regulation and contact blue light exposure
Supplements like Reishi for adrenal adaptogen support ,magnesium for nervous system support , and fish oil for inflammation
Eating regular meals and snacks with protein carbs and fat-> nutrients make your body stay safe
CrossFit-> doing constantly varied movement to keep my body strong in preparation for the rest of pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. Exercise is good for our nervous system
Tons of electrolyte rich drinks-> I mostly drink lmnt, gerolsteiner, and ginger lemon tea
One caffeinated drink a day. Usually coffee because matcha gave me the ick in the first trimester. I drink coffee from a local coffee house and it’s with whole milk and honey which can support metabolic health. I don’t have this until I have been awake for a couple hours, had electrolytes, creatine, and a meal.
Saying no. I don’t like saying no or letting people down but I also know my limits. I do not over exert myself. I prioritize taking care of myself and my family, work, exercise, chores. There’s not much in my tank for anything outside of that. I rest all day Sunday.
Mostly cooked food because they are easier to digest and expend less energy.
Tons of sleep. If I need to go to bed at 6:30 then I need to do that. Some days I get 12 hours of sleep. I want to let my adrenals heal from the past. Before I was pregnant I would push through exhaustion with more caffeine which was making everything worse. To heal and repair your body needs extra rest.
