How I Stopped Running on Empty and Took Back My Health

Updated: Jul 18

Let’s be real: moms are the CEOs of everything.


We manage meals, meltdowns, meetings, and mental loads like it’s a full-time sport — but somewhere along the way, we lose ourselves. Our energy dips. Our confidence fades. We crave sugar, crash by 3PM, and feel constantly bloated, foggy, and a little(or a lot) “off.”


I know that life because I lived it. And honestly? I thought it was just part of being a mom.

Until I discovered the power of daily cellular-level nourishment — and everything changed.



🌱 The Truth About Burnout That No One Talks About


We’ve been taught to "power through" exhaustion. Drink more coffee. Eat fewer carbs. Cut sugar. Exercise. Do another 28-day challenge...


But true burnout often isn’t about doing too much — it’s about not getting enough.

Enough nutrients. Enough gut support. Enough balance between our brain and body.


That’s when I started learning about the gut-brain connection — and the incredible role of the vagus nerve, which acts like a switchboard between how we feel, think, and function.

When that connection is off, we feel off. When it’s activated and supported? We feel alive again.



🥦 What I Did Differently — That Actually Worked


No, I didn’t overhaul my life or give up pizza. I’m a mom, not a monster!


Instead, I started a simple, consistent routine that takes less than a minute a day:

  • 💧 A dropper of natural extract in my morning water, before coffee

  • ✨ A scoop of plant-based protein powder in my morning coffee

  • 🌈 Capsules & chews with over 30 fruits, veggies, berries & omegas

  • 🔄 A daily moment of intention to support my nervous system and gut

ree

In just a few weeks, I noticed:

  • Less bloating

  • Fewer cravings

  • More patience with my kids

  • Real energy (like “laugh at bedtime stories” energy)


And the biggest shift? I finally started feeling like me again - my favorite version of me!
