Spring is here, and so is National Nutrition Month and International Women’s Month—the perfect time to refresh your health and give your brain and body the reset they deserve! With all the March Madness energy in the air, why not channel that competitive spirit into your wellness game? This is your championship season—time to level up your health, outsmart brain fog, and win big with better nutrition!
Just like spring cleaning our homes, our nutrition could also use a fresh start. If you’ve been feeling sluggish, struggling with focus, or noticing that your family is running on empty in the second half, small changes in your eating can turn the game around.
Swap out the brain-draining junk and fuel with powerhouse foods that energize you from tip-off to the final buzzer!
That’s where the Brain Nutrition Program comes in! Your brain is your powerhouse—it controls everything from memory and mood to energy and motivation. But just like a car, it won’t run well if you’re fueling it with junk.
So this month, let’s upgrade your brain, body, and nutrition with simple swaps.
3 Things to ADD to Supercharge Your Brain & Body
Healthy Fats—Your brain is 60% fat, so it needs high-quality fats like avocados, wild-caught salmon, walnuts, and olive oil to function at its best. These fats improve focus, reduce brain fog, and keep energy stable throughout the day.
Dark Leafy Greens – Spinach, kale, and Swiss chard contain vitamins and minerals that fight inflammation and support brain health. If your family isn’t big on greens, blend them into smoothies or scrambled eggs—your brain will thank you!
Brain-Boosting Berries – Blueberries, blackberries, and strawberries are full of antioxidants that protect your brain from aging and improve memory. They’re a natural way to satisfy your sweet tooth without the sugar crash!
3 Hidden Brain Saboteurs to DITCH
Sugary Breakfast Cereals – Most cereals marketed to kids (and adults) are loaded with hidden sugars and artificial flavors that spike blood sugar and cause mid-morning crashes. Swap them for protein-packed eggs, Greek yogurt with berries, or a brain-fueling smoothie. Maybe try Steak and eggs for breakfast.
Flavored Yogurts and granola Bars sound healthy, but most are sugar bombs in disguise. Also, say no to protein bars; some flavored yogurts contain more sugar than candy! Instead, go for plain yogurt with honey or fruit and choose protein-packed snacks like nuts or hard-boiled eggs.
Fruit Juices & Sports Drinks – Even “healthy” juices can pack as much sugar as soda. While they might seem refreshing, they cause major energy crashes and disrupt brain function. Instead, hydrate with lemon water, herbal teas, or a nutrient-rich smoothie.
