Hormone Friendly Breakfasts! Part 1
Recipes for Egg and Mushroom Bowl + Protein Oatmeal 

🍳 Egg & Mushroom Nourish Bowl

A savory bowl rich in protein, minerals, and healthy fats to help support steady energy in the morning.

Ingredients

  • 2 pasture-raised eggs
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup baby spinach
  • ½ avocado, sliced
  • 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp pumpkin seeds
  • Sea salt and black pepper
  • Optional: fresh herbs (parsley or chives)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
  2. Sauté mushrooms until golden and tender (about 5 minutes).
  3. Add spinach and cook until just wilted.
  4. In a separate pan, cook eggs to your preference (fried or soft scrambled).
  5. Assemble the bowl with mushrooms, spinach, eggs, avocado, and pumpkin seeds.
  6. Finish with sea salt, pepper, and herbs.
💡 Why it’s supportive:
Eggs provide choline and protein for hormone production, while mushrooms contain compounds that may support estrogen metabolism.

🥣 Protein Oatmeal

A blood-sugar balanced version of oatmeal that keeps you full and energized. I love adding in my protein powder - it's delicious and obviously adds in that protein that can be helpful for satiety. 

Ingredients

  • ½ cup gluten-free rolled oats
  • ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp almond butter
  • ½ scoop vanilla protein powder 
  • ½ cup berries
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • Pinch sea salt

Instructions

  1. Combine oats, almond milk, chia seeds, cinnamon, and salt in a small pot.
  2. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in almond butter and protein powder if using.
  4. Top with berries and an extra drizzle of almond butter.
💡 Why it’s supportive:
Adding fat, protein, and fiber helps slow glucose absorption and supports balanced insulin and cortisol levels.

I am a bold, beautiful, sometimes timid, usually happy, essential oil, nutrition junkie. Although at 39 I feel as if I've had several careers over a lifetime (or at least sometimes when I look back at my resume that is what shines through). I've been a paralegal, an office manager, an administrative assistant, worked in commercial lending and have finally landed on nutrition.

My journey to nutrition started many years ago when my sister was diagnosed with celiac disease and food had to change for the family. From there, along my own health journey I’ve helped people not only figure out what to eat but how to do it so that it can work for them sustainably. For almost seven years I’ve been counseling people on their nutrition and weight loss journeys.

I am knowledgeable about what purpose food serves your body and I focus on finding sustainable options when it comes to food; this also led to my love of essential oils. I had the opportunity to attend a workshop where a registered dietitian spoke about using essential oils in her practice to help her patients. I was floored. I knew that #plantsheal but I didn't realize that others in the 'conventional' medical community thought that as well!! Learning that it was possible to incorporate these magical little bottles gave me a huge sense of hope.

As I learned more about these oils I was diagnosed with increased intestinal permeability or as many of us know it, leaky gut. Leaky gut has been around for quite awhile but many of us are just learning what this is or why this is even more common these days than ever before. Many issues can be related to leaky gut including autoimmune diseases. Receiving this diagnosis just led me down a path further to learn about nutrition and how to best serve my body and take care of myself.

Since birthing our sweet baby boy at home earlier this year I’ve been incredibly passionate about helping other women too who are pregnant and new mothers with their nutrition. Eating healthy for your pregnant body and your postpartum self is a game changer for both mother and baby.
