Why I never skip breakfast as a woman 🍳

As a holistic nutritionist + fitness trainer, I’ve seen firsthand how skipping breakfast wreaks havoc on women’s health — especially in our 30s, 40s and beyond. I hear it quite often “But Lisa, I’m not that stressed” or “I really don’t eat that much” or “I’m not hungry in the morning”…

When you don’t eat in the morning, your body sees it as a stressor. Cortisol (your stress hormone) stays high and instead of easing into the day, your body goes into fight or flight mode, whether you may feel it right away or not. Morning hunger is a really good sign of health! It will take time to get there but when you start eating enough (most women eat too little) and a properly balanced breakfast, your body will begin to thrive, not just survive. And no, 2 eggs is not protein rich. The goal is 30ish grams.

📉 High cortisol → blood sugar imbalance → mid-day crashes, irritability, cravings (especially for sugar + caffeine).
🌀 This stress cycle throws off your hormones: insulin, cortisol, estrogen, progesterone — all impacted.
😵‍💫 You feel *wired but exhausted*, anxious, bloated, and struggle with sleep.
💇‍♀️ Long-term? Think hair loss, weight gain around the stomach and sluggish metabolism. Your body is just trying to protect you — but it’s running on survival, not support.

The fix?
A protein-, fiber-, and fat-rich breakfast within 60–90 minutes of waking. This tells your body: “You’re safe. You’re nourished.” 🫶

It’s a simple shift that changes everything — from energy and mood to hormones and metabolism. Truly, so many women get it wrong fasting until noon then eating late at night. If you want to practice fasting, do the reverse and eat a quality breakfast and an early dinner!

Plus it’s time to stop punishing our bodies and start learning how to properly fuel them 💪🏼
