What if bloating, cravings, brain fog, and stubborn weight shifts after 40 weren’t just “hormones”??👇

During perimenopause, your gut microbiome can shift too, and those changes may influence how you digest food, metabolize estrogen, regulate blood sugar, and manage inflammation.

We created this delicious recipe with gut support in mind:

✨Supports the gut changes that can happen after 40:

During perimenopause, shifts in estrogen, stress hormones, sleep, & blood sugar can all influence the gut microbiome. Leeks, garlic, sweet potatoes, and arugula provide prebiotic fibers that help nourish beneficial gut bacteria and support a more diverse microbiome.

✨Helps your gut create helpful compounds:

Turkey tail, lion’s mane, and cordyceps contain beta-glucans and polysaccharides that gut bacteria can ferment into short-chain fatty acids, which support the gut lining, immune balance, and metabolic health.

✨Gives your gut polyphenols to work with:

Sweet potatoes, thyme, arugula, garlic, and lemon contain polyphenols, which interact with gut microbes and may support beneficial bacteria involved in fiber breakdown, including Bacteroidetes/Bacteroidota.

✨Supports steadier energy and cravings:

The fiber, healthy fats, and plant compounds in this soup help slow digestion, support blood sugar balance, and encourage better appetite signalling.👌

Ingredients:

3 Sweet Potatoes
2 large leeks, sliced & rinsed well
3 cups vegetable broth
1 can light coconut milk
1 garlic bulb
1 tsp dried thyme
2 tbsp avocado oil
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 1/2 tsp 3 Mushroom Blend by
1 lemon, juice + zest
2 cups arugula
2 tbsp h**p seeds

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Add sweet potatoes to a baking sheet.
Slice the top off the garlic bulb, drizzle with a little avocado oil, wrap in parchment paper, and add to the baking sheet, roast for 40 minutes.

In a large pot, heat avocado oil over medium heat. Add sliced leeks and sauté for 5 to 7 minutes until softened. Add the thyme, lemon zest, sea salt, and 3 Mushroom Blend. Top with vegetable broth, and simmer for 5 minutes.

Once cool enough to handle, peel sweet potatoes and squeeze out garlic and add to soup along with coconut milk and lemon juice.

Transfer to a blender and buzz until smooth and creamy. Careful not to overfill!

Serve topped with arugula and h**p seeds.

Makes 3-4 servings.

Enjoy 💚

If you’ve been curious about acupuncture but feeling a little unsure, you’re not alone 💛

So many women tell me they’ve thought about booking, but there are some questions they want to explore..

Will it hurt?
What if I’m nervous around needles?
How many sessions will I need?
Can it actually help with what I’m dealing with?

I get it. Trying something new with your health can feel vulnerable, especially when you’re already tired, overwhelmed, or feeling like your body is asking for more support.

Acupuncture is one of the tools I love because it works with your body, not against it.

It can help support your nervous system, encourage deep relaxation, and bring the body back into balance. This is why I often use it to support stress, sleep, digestion, hormones, pain, and overall well being.

And yes, I’m a very gentle needler. My goal is always to make you feel safe, supported, and deeply cared for during your treatment.

Your body is brilliant and always healing. Sometimes it just needs the right support.

Chocolate muffins that support your mood, energy, gut, and blood sugar? That our kind of morning. 🍫✨

These Morning Joy Chocolate Banana Protein Muffins do more than taste cozy & satisfying. They are made with protein, fiber, healthy fats, and functional ingredients that help support steadier energy and a happier start to the day.

Cacao contains PEA (phenylethylamine), often called the “love molecule,” which helps stimulate the release of dopamine and endorphins to support mood, pleasure, focus, and alertness.

Bananas bring vitamin B6 to support neurotransmitters involved in mood, while eggs provide selenium and iodine, two key nutrients involved in healthy thyroid hormone production and metabolism. Eggs also offer choline, an important nutrient for brain function, memory, and healthy nervous system support.

The 3 mushroom blend adds even more function:
• Turkey tail helps support gut health & the microbiome
• Lion’s mane is loved for memory, focus, & mood support
• Cordyceps may help support circulation, stamina, and healthy energy production

Add in cinnamon, flax, and nourishing fats, and you have a muffin that supports healthy blood sugar!

Save this recipe for a happier, steadier day ahead, and let me know if you make them. 💛
