break free of diet and grind culture and the cycles of stress and hormone imbalances they create.
If you've tried sweating more, depriving yourself of real food, chugging caffeine, fat and sugar to make it through the mornings and binge-watching TV or social media until late at night for no apparent reason...then you are chasing the symptoms of your body's issues- not dealing with the root causes.
And you are not alone. Most women recognize stress as headaches, emotional eating, weak bladders and temper flares- responses that are situational and leave as fast as they come. But there is a more subtle stress that exists under the surface of your everyday life and and over years can have major impacts on your mental and physical health.
It's the stress of endless to-do lists, scars from childhood trauma, recurrent trauma from discrimination and a lack of safe spaces for ethnic, gender and cultural minorities, prolonged financial worries, distressful work environments and the list goes on.
If you've been down on yourself for not being able to get it together, for the love of God, hear these 4 words...
SHOW YOURSELF SOME LOVE.
The good news is you're not a tree so you're not stuck. You can do something about this. WE can do something about this. It's time to shift the focus from treating symptoms to addressing the root causes. It's time to get real and heal.

I’m Angela. A dog mom to my Rottie Cassie. A lover of high vibes, good food, travel, wellness and two of my favorite words…HORMONE HARMONY! What I really love to do is to help women who have given everything to their loved ones and careers- RECLAIM THEIR TIME, ENERGY AND HEALTH!
I’m a Nurse Anesthetist and have worked in healthcare for close to 30 years. I’m also and entrepreneur and have been a caretaker for two parents and I know exactly what BURNOUT feels like and just how overwhelming it can become in your life if you don’t get a handle on it.
On top of a lifetime of the trauma that is being a Black woman in America and a lack of safety that I didn't understand, close to 10 years of in my face stress and burnout led me to face some serious health challenges- all stemming from insulin resistance and HPA dysfunction (aka adrenal fatigue).
So I became a holistic health coach to heal myself and have been helping people integrate nutrition, simple lifestyle changes and deep health work into systems that work in their day to day lives ever since.
Tired of the same old breakfast options while trying to maintain a healthy, low-carb lifestyle? It's time to spice up your morning routine with delicious and nutritious alternatives! This blog post will guide you through exciting low-carb breakfast ideas that not only satisfy your taste buds but also support your fitness goals. From protein-rich eggs and veggies cooked in coconut oil to innovative skillet-baked eggs with spinach and yogurt, we've got you covered. Dive into the world of creamy avocado green tea shakes, delightful low-carb pancakes, and simple yet scrumptious chia pudding. Say goodbye to boring breakfasts and hello to a variety of flavors that keep you energized and on track with your health journey!
1. Baby Steps, Big Flavor: Eggs and veggies cooked in avocado or coconut oil not only make for a satisfying meal but also ensure you're fueling your body right with healthy fats from the start. A simple sauté with your favorite herbs and seasonings can elevate this dish to a whole new level. Experiment with oregano, thyme, rosemary, garlic, cayenne, paprika or any of your faves.
Coconut Oil Eggs & Veggies:
Ingredients: 2 eggs, 1 cup of your choice of vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, spinach), 1 tablespoon coconut oil, seasoning to taste.
Instructions: Heat coconut oil in a pan. Fry eggs to your desired consistency. Sauté the vegetables briefly, season, and serve alongside the eggs.
2. Skillet-Baked Goodness: Try skillet-baked eggs with spinach and yogurt for a nutrient-packed start to your day. Baking cuts down on extra fats, making it a smart cooking method and a nice twist for a healthy lifestyle.
Skillet-Baked Eggs with Spinach and Yogurt:
Ingredients: 4 eggs, 2 cups spinach, ½ cup Greek yogurt, 1 clove garlic (minced), 1 leek (chopped), 1 scallion (chopped), 1 tablespoon lemon juice, pinch of salt, 1 tablespoon coconut oil.
Instructions: Preheat oven to 300°F. Combine yogurt, garlic, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. In a skillet, sauté spinach, leek, scallion, and lemon juice in coconut oil. Remove from heat, crack eggs over the veggies, and bake for 10-15 minutes. Top with yogurt mixture before serving.
3. Shake Up Your Morning: For those craving something sweet yet healthy, an avocado green tea shake is the answer. It's rich, creamy, and easy to make, plus it's packed with good fats and protein.
Avocado Green Tea Shake:
Ingredients: ½ avocado, ½ cup Greek yogurt, 1 ¼ cups almond milk, 1 scoop protein powder, 1 teaspoon matcha powder, 1 tablespoon hot water, sweetener to taste (honey, monkfruit, or stevia).
Instructions: Dissolve matcha powder in hot water. In a blender, combine avocado, yogurt, almond milk, protein powder, and sweetener. Blend until smooth. Add the tea mixture and blend again. Serve chilled.
4. Pancakes, but Make Them Low-Carb: Break the monotony of egg-based breakfasts with these low-carb pancakes. A simple blend of cream cheese, eggs, sugar substitute, and cinnamon, and you’ve got a breakfast that feels indulgent but fits right into your eating style.
Low-Carb Pancakes:
Ingredients: 2 oz cream cheese, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon granulated sugar substitute (e.g., monkfruit), ½ teaspoon cinnamon.
Instructions: Blend cream cheese, eggs, sugar substitute, and cinnamon until smooth. Let the mixture rest to reduce bubbles. Cook on a medium heat pan for 2 minutes per side.
5. Chia Pudding Perfection: Chia pudding is a fuss-free option that's both healthy and versatile. Prep it overnight, and in the morning, top it with your favorite fruits for an extra health kick.
Chia Pudding:
Ingredients: ¼ cup chia seeds, 1 cup non-dairy milk (e.g., almond milk), ½ tablespoon honey, low-sugar fruit (e.g. any type of berries) for topping.
Instructions: Combine chia seeds, milk, and honey in a jar. Mix well and refrigerate overnight. The pudding will thicken and become jelly-like. Serve with your choice of fruit on top.
