Your Brain Is Hungry. Steady Your Energy

Strengthen Your Resilience.

Your brain is only about 2% of your body weight.
Yet it uses roughly 20% of your daily energy.
So when energy dips…
When focus feels unreliable…
When mood swings feel sharper than they used to…
It’s rarely a discipline issue.
More often, it’s a nourishment issue.

Brain Health Is Built on Nutrient Density

The brain requires consistent access to:

• Quality protein
• Essential fats
• Minerals
• Vitamins
• Plant diversity
• Stable glucose supply

Not restrictions or rules.
Not hacks.
Instead — consistency.

The Color My Food Approach

Instead of asking whether something is “healthy,” ask:

Is this nutrient dense?
Does this support steady energy?
How many colors from plants are on my plate?

Each color in nature represents protective plant compounds that help buffer oxidative stress and support long-term brain resilience.

Purple.
Green.
Orange.
Red.
White.

Color is information.

A Simple Starting Rhythm

At most meals, aim for:

Protein
Carbs from plants
Natural fats
Functional herbs and spices

Then adjust based on:

• Your digestion
• Your activity level
• Your stress load
• Your life stage

That’s where bio-individuality matters.

However, the foundation remains simple.

When meals are nutrient dense and blood sugar is steady:

Energy stabilizes.
Cravings reduce.
Mood becomes more even.
Focus strengthens.

This is especially important during:

• Perimenopause and menopause
• High-performing professional seasons
• Adolescence and rapid growth years
• Any life stage where cognitive resilience matters

It  is Lifestyle

Skip the diets.

Instead, build rhythm.

Small daily decisions compound into resilience over time.

Nourish your brain.
Color your food.
Strengthen your resilience — one meal at a time.
