When stress is high, your body needs more support, not more pressure. That means nourishment, rest and realistic expectations, not stricter rules around food 💚

Many women have been taught to fear certain foods or believe they’re doing something wrong by simply eating.

But real nutrition isn’t about extremes or rules. It’s about balance, context and what works for your body 💟🧘‍♀️

I have always believed that nutrition should feel supportive, not stressful.

Let's talk about some myths! In this video I break down some of the most common nutrition myths women still believe and why they’re not helping your health, energy or relationship with food.

Nutrition shouldn’t feel scary. It should feel supportive and doable 🩷🌸

As women, our bodies need fuel to function.

Nutrition should support your strength, not work against it.

They are a nutrient dense food that can absolutely be included as part of a healthy eating pattern. For most people, eggs do not negatively impact cholesterol levels when eaten in moderation.

Nutrition works best when it’s informed, flexible and realistic.

For years, eggs were blamed for raising cholesterol 😱
But nutrition science has moved on.

For most people, eating eggs in moderation does not raise blood cholesterol in a harmful way. In fact, eggs provide high quality protein, important vitamins and fats that support overall health.

What matters most is your overall eating pattern, not one single food.
Balance and context always come first.

Eggs have been misunderstood for years 🥚

When eaten as part of a balanced diet, eggs can support satiety, muscle health and overall nutrition.

Nutrition isn’t about cutting foods out.
It’s about understanding how they fit into your bigger picture.

Healthy habits are not about being strict 🧺

They are about keeping things simple, making good choices easier and letting go of food rules that add pressure instead of support.

Swipe through for gentle reminders from this week’s reel to help you build habits that feel steady, realistic and sustainable 🌿

The habits that last are the ones that feel doable 🌿

Trying to change everything at once usually leads to burnout, not progress.
When food feels simple, flexible and supportive, it naturally becomes easier to stay consistent.

This reel shares practical ways to build habits that feel natural to your lifestyle and not forced 💚

Healthy habits are built slowly, not overnight 🌱

Lasting change does not come from doing everything at once.
