Morning routine for gut & hormones ✨

for better gut health & hormones 🤍 here’s WHY ↴

your morning is essential to your hormone & gut health! What we nourish our body with after a fast (overnight) has a big impact on our gut microbiome.

this routine has helped reduce anxiety, balance my hormones, & makes me feel productive af 🥹✨

waking up 2 hours before work & at the same time everyday = this gives you time to prioritize yourself & builds consistency

oral care = do this before drinking water! You want to detox your mouth first thing by tongue scraping, oil pulling, & then brushing your teeth (non toxic toothpaste pls)

hydrate with warm lemon water & real sea salt = warm drinks help get digestion going + lemon has vitamin c & a pinch real sea salt (I use Redmond sea salt) for electrolytes

walk for 15 minutes = boosts metabolism & helps get blood flowing! I also love jumping in place to help lymphatic drainage. Go outside for natural sunlight!

make a green juice = easy way to get prebiotic first thing in the morning which is key to gut health!

10 min meditation or affirmations = if I’m running short on time I do affirmations while I’m doing my skincare!

eat breakfast = I try to eat 30-60 minutes after waking up so my blood sugar doesn’t dip too low! I prioritize 30g of protein at breakfast (usually eat chicken sausage) then I take my supplements!

mat Pilates workout = I love The Pilates Class because the workouts are about 20-30 minutes long & give me the perfect energy boost! Doing something hard first thing in the morning like a workout first makes me feel confident going into the day!!

get ready = showering, skin care, & getting dressed before work helps me feel my best + boosts my productivity! I only use fragrance free shower care, skin care, & hair care products to avoid endocrine disruptors.

Note this is an ideal day for me! Do the best you can I know everyone’s schedule & life is different 🫶🏻

Do you have a morning routine??🥹

... Read moreEstablishing a consistent morning routine not only supports your gut and hormone health but also enhances overall wellness. Start your day by waking up at the same time daily, ideally two hours before starting work, allowing you time for self-care. Begin with oral care practices such as tongue scraping and oil pulling, which can help detoxify your mouth and improve digestive health. Hydration is crucial, and warm lemon water with a pinch of quality sea salt can stimulate digestion and provide essential electrolytes. Engaging in a short, brisk walk outdoors for about 15 minutes can boost metabolism and get your blood circulating while offering the benefits of natural sunlight. Incorporating gut-friendly foods like a prebiotic-rich green juice is a fantastic way to kickstart your day. Additionally, practicing mindfulness through meditation or affirmations can help ground your thoughts and reduce stress, contributing to a more productive day. Finding balance in your breakfast by prioritizing high-protein options keeps blood sugar levels stable, while a quick, invigorating Pilates session can energize your morning routine. Remember to choose fragrance-free personal care products to minimize exposure to endocrine disruptors, ensuring your body feels its best. The aim is to personalize these steps, making time for what feels right for you, and adapting them based on individual schedules and lifestyles. Embracing this holistic approach to your morning routine can significantly enhance your vitality, feeling more centered and ready to tackle the day ahead.
