What An Inflammation Expert Eats For Breakfast

Mornings can be the trickiest time of day to get in a healthy meal, especially when you’re in a hurry. As a busy mom, naturopathic doctor, and author, I know how hard it can be to serve up a breakfast that’s filling and gives you plenty of energy to start your day off right.

That’s why I love to begin my busy mornings with a delicious and nutritious shake. There are plenty of smoothie and shake recipes out there, but most of them are high in sugar, low in good fats and protein, and will leave your blood sugar levels crashing long before lunch.

I created a shake that is a powerhouse breakfast option loaded with nutritious berries, greens, healthy fats, and fiber that your body will love. Even better? Each ingredient has nutritional properties that work hard to fight inflammation. Your cells will love all the nutrition and be grateful for the extra help pushing out toxins. Fighting inflammation is your key to excellent health, and this shake will set you up with all kinds of anti-inflammatory goodness.

The biggest fighter in the inflammation battle? Collagen. Collagen is one of the most common proteins in our bodies, but as we age we begin to produce less of it5. It’s the main protein in your hair, skin, nails, joints, and even your digestive tract! Since chronic inflammation tends to speed up the aging process, adding collagen to your diet can help you keep those wrinkles and aching joints at bay.

The biggest way that collagen helps fight inflammation is by helping to heal your digestive tract. You’ve probably heard all about leaky gut syndrome and its chilling effects. When your gut has been through the trauma of years of junk food, it just doesn’t work like it should. Toxins in your digestive tract can escape and end up in your bloodstream, wreaking havoc and triggering an immune response. Next thing you know, you’re wrestling with the effects of lifelong chronic inflammation.

Luckily, taking collagen is the easiest way in the world to heal your gut, calm your inflamed body, and help you start to feel healthy and strong again. You can probably see why I think it’s "supercharged." Drink this a few mornings every week, and you’ll start to feel supercharged too!
