As a business owner, I’ve realized that feeling my best—physically and mentally—starts with letting go of habits that no longer serve me. One key area I’ve focused on is gut health, which plays a bigger role in my overall well-being than I ever imagined.
Here are some habits I’ve left behind for good:
-Skipping meals: I no longer skip meals—I’ve learned that regular fuel is essential for steady energy, especially during perimenopause.
-Ignoring stress: Powering through stress is a thing of the past. Now, I prioritize stress management to stay balanced and clear-headed.
-Overeating processed foods: I’ve moved away from overly processed meals and instead focus on whole, nourishing foods that support my hormones and how I feel.
-Relying on quick fixes: Crash cleanses are out. Balanced nutrition is my go-to for feeling great long-term.
-Neglecting fibre: Skipping out on fibre-rich foods is no longer an option—I know how much they support my digestion and hormone health.
-Avoiding probiotics: I make it a point to include probiotics and fermented foods to keep my gut thriving.
-Ignoring hydration: Staying hydrated is now a priority—it’s such a simple way to support both gut health and overall energy.
For women navigating the demands of leadership and business, these changes can make all the difference.
Prioritizing your gut health might seem small, but it can have a major impact on how you feel every day.
