Can we normalize women eating ENOUGH?
Ladies. I promise you, it’s NOT about seeing how little food you can get by on.
Your appetite is a wonderful gift- and how you respond to it impacts your mood, hormones, skin, energy, disease prevention, sleep, brain health, aging, and more.
What if you stop trying to suppress it and focus instead on learning to respond in a way that supports you?
No joke sister, your life would change.
What do you say?!
Nourished… not hungry. And it starts with a high protein breakfast!
