Why I Tell Every Woman I Work With: Protein Before Coffee

If there's one small shift I recommend more than almost anything else in my clinic, it's this: eat a protein-rich breakfast before you reach for that first coffee.

I know, for so many of us, coffee on an empty stomach feels like a ritual. It's the thing that gets us moving. But if you're dealing with anxiety, stubborn weight, energy crashes, or hormones that feel like they're running the show rather than the other way around, this one habit change can make a genuinely noticeable difference.

Let's talk about why.

Testing for Perimenopause: Is there anyway to know?

Is there a way to tell if we have reached perimenopause? Although blood tests are not very reliable this other method of testing has surprisingly strong accuracy and is something you can do in the comfort of your own home.

Gut Health & Mental Health: How connected are they?

Many of us have learned to “trust our gut.” But if we ask most people what our digestive tract is for, they’ll probably explain it as a way of absorbing nutrients and disposing of waste. So where do phrases such as “trusting our gut” or “unable to stomach the results” come from? It turns out there is a two-way street between our digestive organs and our brains. What we eat and the state of our digestive tract can have a profound impact on our moods and behaviors. And probably unsurprisingly at this point, our gut microbiome is also involved.
