Ever feel like taking care of yourself always ends up at the bottom of the list? Between chasing toddlers around the house, constant diaper changes, and squeezing in work during nap time, it’s easy to let your health slide. You might think, "I’ll get to me later." But here's the truth I’ve learned: gut health is everything. And it doesn't have to be complicated.
I used to feel like I was constantly running on empty—exhausted, foggy, and short-tempered. You know the feeling, right? That overwhelming tiredness that just makes everything harder. I felt like I wasn't showing up as the best version of myself, either for my family or my business. But after I started focusing on simple, nourishing foods and supporting my gut health, I noticed a huge difference. I had more energy, felt clearer, and, honestly, was way more patient.
Here’s the thing—prioritizing your gut doesn’t mean overhauling your entire life. It’s all about small, manageable changes that fit into your busy mom life. I want to share three super easy, gut-friendly tips that have worked wonders for me, and I bet they’ll help you too.
1. Start your day with warm lemon water
Before the day even gets crazy, start with a little something just for you. Warm lemon water helps with digestion and can set a calm tone for the day. It’s like a mini reset button before all the chaos kicks in.
2. Swap one processed snack for a gut-boosting option
I get it. Grabbing something quick is necessary when you’re juggling a hundred things at once. But small swaps can make a big impact. Try something like apple slices with almond butter and chia seeds. It’s super easy, takes seconds to prep, and will leave you feeling nourished instead of sluggish.
3. Take a few deep breaths before meals
We’ve all been there—eating in a rush while multitasking. But taking just a few deep breaths before a meal can help your body shift into “rest and digest” mode, making it easier for you to absorb nutrients. It’s a small moment of mindfulness that can do wonders for your digestion.
You don’t have to overhaul your whole life to feel better. Small, intentional shifts make a huge difference. You deserve to feel amazing while being the supermom you are. Start with these three simple changes and see how much better you feel—not just for yourself, but for your family and your goals too.
