What I Eat In a Day
Edition 2: as a mom in her 30s prioritizing hormone balance
I know these posts are a favorite — and honestly, they’re one of mine too. Food is the foundation of hormone health, and right now, my meals are focused on rebuilding after a deep season of detox (hiiii mold mycotoxins 👋🏼).
You’ll notice everything I eat centers around high protein, blood sugar balance, and fiber — all key for supporting detox pathways and daily hormone flow.
But let’s be clear: this isn’t a “you should eat like this” post. It’s a this is what’s working for me right now post. I share these days of eating to spark inspiration — whether it gives you a new meal idea, helps you troubleshoot your own hormone journey, or just reminds you that nourishing your body can feel simple and satisfying.
I’m currently in a rebuilding phase — post-parasite and mold detox — and focusing on what helps me feel stable, grounded, and energized as a busy mom.
Here’s what that looks like in real life 👇🏼
My daily nutrition goals (give or take):
130+ grams protein
160-180 carbs (depending on my activity)
65-70 grams fat
25+ grams fiber
My body thrives with this balance right now — more energy, fewer cravings, and more stable sleep.
Pre-Workout (4:30–5:00 AM)
Water with electrolytes (I finally found one without citric acid!)
Collagen coffee + 2 Brazil nuts for selenium and thyroid support
15g protein | 1g fiber
→ No food yet — just gentle minerals, warmth, and a small fat + micronutrient boost to support adrenals pre-workout (I’m experimenting with this but not when I’m in my luteal phase)
Note on coffee: don’t typically recommend coffee on an empty stomach BUT collagen in coffee doesn’t spike my blood sugar (according to my CGM) + pairing it with a little fat from the Brazil nuts give me a little protein and fat.
I also did a DNA test recently that showed my body responds well to fasting (mind you this was still only around 12 hours maybe 13 from dinner to my smoothie which isn’t really much of a fast — I think of it as a digestive break) and that I’m not prone to hormone imbalances BUT very prone to inflammation which fasting can help (in my case) the DNA test is @3x4genetics
Breakfast (7:00 AM)
Protein Oatmeal
A high-protein, cozy breakfast that supports detox pathways, hormone production, and stable blood sugar.
