✨ Back-to-school season is here, and I want to give a big shout-out to the teachers & I work with.
It’s overwhelming when school starts up, but I’ve been so inspired by the smart, doable strategies my clients are using to take care of themselves.
🏆Here are some of their wins & why they're helpful.
🥙 I’m including more healthy carbohydrates during the day, and I noticed I have more energy, I’m crashing less often, and my sugar cravings feel under control.
👉 Carbs are your body’s main energy source. Choosing high-quality carbs like whole grains, fruit, and beans helps keep energy steady, supports brainpower, and can help tame afternoon sugar cravings.
🥗 I’m keeping salad greens and salad kits in the fridge at school, so I can easily assemble a healthy lunch.
👉 Having quick, ready-to-go options makes it easier to stick to nourishing choices. Even on your busiest days, you can build a satisfying lunch that fuels you without much prep.
🛒 I did a Costco haul and bought healthy snacks for me and my students.
👉 Stocking up in bulk saves time and money, while keeping healthy options within reach. It also sets a positive example for students by making healthier snacks the default.
📱 I deleted my meal delivery apps!
👉 Removing friction points is powerful. With those apps gone, you’re less likely to order quick-fix meals and more likely to follow through with healthier food choices you’ve planned ahead.
⏱ I’m using a timer to try to slow down my eating, and I name 3 things I enjoy about my meal.
👉 Slowing down helps your body register fullness and makes eating a more enjoyable, mindful experience. Noticing what you appreciate about your food fosters a positive relationship with meals and helps you savor them, rather than rushing through them.
Huge shoutout to my client educators who are shaping young minds and modeling what it looks like to care for yourself!
