Two Nutrition Shifts That Can Change Your Daily Energy
Dec 08, 2025In this episode, Cara shares the two simple nutrition shifts that can dramatically improve your mood, energy, focus, and sense of self-connection as a midlife mom: front-loading your eating with a nourishing breakfast and lunch, and prioritizing fiber + protein in both. She breaks down why these habits matter hormonally and emotionally—and offers easy, repeatable breakfast and lunch ideas to help you fuel your body (and spirit) even in your busiest seasons.
Key Takeaways
- Front-load your energy: Prioritize a nourishing breakfast and lunch to support hormones, mood, and focus.
- Aim for “10 & 30”: Build both meals around ~10g fiber and ~30g protein for steady energy and clarity.
- Make nourishment relational: Care for yourself with the same intention you bring to caring for others.
