⚡ Energize Your Day! Natural Energy Hacks Every Mom Needs 💪

Let's be real—parenting is exhausting. No matter how much sleep we get, by mid-afternoon, many of us feel like we're running on fumes.

Trying to cut back on caffeine? Or maybe just trying to combat that dreaded brain fog?

Even with a balanced diet and decent sleep, life happens. Late-night project deadlines, caring for a sick child, and homework help sessions can throw a wrench in our energy levels.

And then there’s the added fun of travel and jet lag.

Whatever your situation, there are ways to get clean, non-habit forming energy when you need it most, and give your brain the support it deserves.

Why do natural energy boosters matter for moms?

  • Sustained Energy Without the Crash: Unlike caffeine, which can lead to energy crashes, natural energy boosters provide sustained energy that helps you power through your day without the rollercoaster of highs and lows.

  • Better Focus and Clarity: Natural options can improve brain function and clarity, helping you stay sharp and focused. This is crucial for tackling the endless tasks and responsibilities that come with motherhood.

  • Healthier Habits: Reducing reliance on caffeine can lead to better sleep quality, less anxiety, and overall improved health. Natural energy boosters often come with added health benefits like improved digestion and reduced inflammation.

  • Setting a Good Example: Choosing natural options shows your kids the importance of healthy habits. It’s a great way to teach them about making good choices for their bodies.

My favorite natural energy boosters…

1. Essential Oils: doTERRA has several products and essential oils that will help you with your energy levels. I'll jump into the specifics in a minute.

2. Nutrient-Rich Foods:

  • Nuts and Seeds: Packed with protein, healthy fats, and fiber. Keep a mix on hand for a quick energy snack. I personally love cashews.

  • Dark Chocolate: My favorite! Contains a small amount of caffeine and a lot of antioxidants. Enjoy a piece for a healthy energy boost.

3. Hydration:

  • Water: Dehydration can lead to fatigue. Make sure you’re drinking enough water throughout the day. A good starting point is to divide your weight (in pounds) in half. Drink at least that many ounces of water a day.

  • Herbal Teas: If flavoring your water helps you to drink more, you can try different varieties of herbal teas. Or I love to add one drop of a yummy essential oil to hot water for a perfect tea (doTERRA's citrus oils are delicious).

4. Move Your Body: Even a short walk can boost energy levels and clear brain fog.

5. Take Breaks: Short, regular breaks can improve productivity and energy.

6. Practice Mindfulness: Simple breathing exercises can increase oxygen flow and energy. There are so many helpful apps for this (Headspace is a great app to start with).

The good news is these natural options work fast! Give them a try and feel the difference. You deserve to be the best version of yourself, energized and ready to take on the day.

Top Natural Options for Energy

MetaPWR Advantage Collagen + NMN:

Feeling the drag as you get older? Our metabolisms slow down with age, starting as early as 25-YEARS OLD! This impacts our energy, weight, and even how sharp we feel. But don’t worry, there’s a natural way to keep that pep in your step—MetaPWR Advantage.

This daily supplement, developed by doTERRA researchers, helps maintain healthy cell and organ function, keeps you mentally energized, and promotes a healthy weight and body composition.

What’s Inside:

  • NMN & Resveratrol: Boosts your metabolism by increasing NADH and NAD+ production and activating those all-important SIRT longevity genes.
