May is Mental Health Awareness Month — and May 7 was World Maternal Mental Health Day — but really, every day is a good day to support your mental, emotional, and physical well-being as a mom. In this episode, we’re talking about how the food you eat can impact your mood, energy, and emotional health.

I’m sharing some science-backed insight (without getting too nerdy!) and simple tips to help you feel more like YOU again — no perfection required. Mood swings and mental fog are common in motherhood, but that doesn’t mean you have to just live with them.

You’ll learn:
🔹 How nutrition impacts mood and mental clarity
🔹 Why blood sugar and inflammation matter more than you think
🔹 5 mood-boosting nutrients moms often miss — and how to get them
🔹 Real-life meal and snack ideas to support your mental health
🔹 A mindset shift to help you nourish your body without guilt or extremes

✨ Ready to take action?
