If you’re crashing by 10 a.m., starving a few hours after breakfast, or gaining weight no matter how little you eat, your breakfast is the problem. Most women unknowingly start their day with “healthy” breakfasts that spike blood sugar and keep insulin resistance, fatigue, and cravings locked in all day long.

In this episode I’m sharing:

• The top three breakfasts that help reverse insulin resistance (without crash diets or restriction)
• Why your body needs at least 30 grams of protein first thing in the morning, and how to actually hit it
• How to build a savory, blood-sugar-balanced breakfast that keeps you full and energized for hours
• My easy, no-egg breakfast ideas that are quick, simple, and satisfying
• How to use resistant starch potatoes to feed gut health and lower your glycemic response
• Why breakfast doesn’t have to be “breakfast food” and how leftovers can be your best blood sugar hack
• The secret to stabilizing blood sugar every time you eat
• How small swaps, like adding bone broth or collagen, can boost protein intake and steady energy levels

Remember: your morning meal sets the tone for your entire day. This episode will help you build breakfasts that balance your blood sugar, support your hormones, and finally end that mid-morning crash for good.
