Recipe for a Metabolic Morning Kickstarter

Are you tired of yo-yo dieting and short-lived weight loss results? Weight-loss shouldn’t be your main goal if you want sustainable, long lasting results.

Sure, you can drop 12 lbs in a month by cutting your calories and exercising more, but at what cost?

Mineral depletion, increased stress hormones, liberating stored toxins (no good!), imbalanced blood sugar, missing out on memories, feeling exhausted ….leading you right back to the weight you started, probably with a little extra?

(And if your weight isn’t budging, despite doing the same things you did last time you lost 10 lbs, it’s time to take your hormones and gut into consideration!)

Weight loss can be a side effect of

  • bringing your gut back into balance.

  • your hormones coming back into balance

  • reducing inflammation

  • addressing your food sensitivities

  • making sure you are detoxing properly

  • balancing your blood sugar

  • fixing your digestion so you actually absorb the nutrients you are eating!

  • eating enough nutrient dense food - not just getting enough calories

Your circadian rhythm is a natural, internal process that regulates your sleep-wake cycle, hormone release, body temperature, gut health, and metabolism. Disruptions to this rhythm can negatively impact your health, including making it difficult to maintain a healthy weight.

Here's a recipe to kickstart your day and support your circadian rhythm for optimal health, my metabolic morning kickstarter if you will :)

  1. Drink water upon waking to hydrate your body and jumpstart your metabolism.

  2. Get enough protein to support muscle growth and repair, regulate blood sugar, and increase satiety.

  3. Eat breakfast after your coffee to avoid spikes in cortisol, the stress hormone.

  4. Chew your food well to aid digestion and nutrient absorption.

But it all starts with supporting your circadian rhythm. Avoid looking at your phone first thing in the morning to get natural light in your eyes and regulate your internal biological clock. This habit is the secret ingredient to supporting your metabolism and achieving sustainable weight loss.

This is why it is much more than calories in vs calories out. When dieting and exercising harder is the focus, it can actually do more damage than good. Under eating is stressful on the body and can impact your energy, metabolism, blood sugar regulation, hormones, mineral balance which can cause your body to hold onto more fat. You also need to support your circadian health to directly support your metabolism from the foundation.

Getting your circadian rhythm in check is one of the foundations of The Good Gut Method and along with that, I help you support ALL your foundations to get a fiery metabolism and steady energy without working + obsessing so hard ✨
