What makes this hormone balancing? ⬇️

The ingredients & WHEN you drink it👏🏼

The ingredients added to this recipe help to stabilize blood sugar & prevent cortisol from increasing more (cortisol is the stress hormone release by the adrenal glands & cortisol is already highest in the morning).

When you drink coffee, the caffeine places added stress on the adrenal glands to release more cortisol! So, in order to lower that stress response & help to balance your hormones… this is what we can do…

I do not recommend having coffee on an empty stomach & I do not recommend having coffee within the first hour of waking - this is to support your blood sugar & adrenals.

If you are in the habit of drinking coffee first thing in the AM, try replacing it with filtered water, sea salt & fresh lemon to start your day off HYDRATED 💦.

Then, I recommend eating a blood sugar balanced breakfast within the first hour of waking (a quality protein source, a healthy fat source some fiber + a complex carb) then have your coffee.

Drink it in a relaxed state, NOT while running late to work or before a stressful meeting.

The ingredients👇🏼

☕️ Organic mold free coffee - purity coffee is a great choice, you want to opt for organic as coffee is one of the most heavily sprayed crops out there. Take it a step further by getting mold free!

🐄 Grass fed collagen powder - 10 grams of protein per scoop, 20 grams of protein for 2 scoops using Promix’s collagen

🍯 Raw Honey - instead of fancy flavored syrups (that have tons of artificial sugar) opt for something natural like raw honey or pure maple syrup

🤎 Cinnamon - has positive effects on blood sugar levels

🥛 I use full fat coconut milk

feel free to froth or put all ingredients in a blender to have a frothy latte 😋.

I will also note - there was a good period of time that I gave up caffeine totally to let me body heal! Since then, I have reintroduced coffee but made sure it’s quality and don’t rely on it for energy etc!
