🆘 Is your brain under-fueled?

You’re not sad.

You’re not anxious.

But something still feels… off.

That “blah” feeling? The one where you’re just floating through the day without focus or fire?

It could be a sign that your brain is under-fueled.

Your brain is the most energy-hungry organ in your body.

And when you’re skipping meals, under-eating, or avoiding carbs and fats out of habit or diet culture—it starts to short-circuit.

🧠 Signs of an under-fueled brain:

  • Low motivation or “meh” energy

  • Flat mood or emotional numbness

  • Decision fatigue or trouble concentrating

  • Feeling better after eating carbs

  • Endless scrolling with no real engagement

This has nothing to do with willpower.

It’s about fuel.

✅ Here’s how to feed your brain smarter:

  • Eat 25–30g of protein per meal (especially breakfast)

  • Include tyrosine-rich foods like turkey, eggs, pumpkin seeds, and lentils

  • Don’t skip healthy carbs—your brain needs glucose to make serotonin and dopamine

  • Check in: are you eating enough total calories for your lifestyle?

When your brain is nourished, your mood improves, your motivation returns, and life feels… lighter.

TOOL Of The Week: The “No-Motivation” Reset Ritual  

Feel stuck, numb, or totally unmotivated? Try this 3-step ritual to revive your mental energy—no caffeine required.

  1. Ground your nervous system
     → Place one hand on your chest, one on your belly. Take 3 slow breaths with extra-long exhales.

  2. Do one dopamine-boosting action
     → Something quick and sensory: step outside, splash cold water on your face, or turn on a song you love and move your body for 30 seconds.

  3. Eat a brain-fueling snack
     → Try hard-boiled eggs + avocado, chia pudding with cinnamon, or apple + almond butter. (Protein + fat = steady brain fuel.)

Repeat anytime your brain feels offline.

You don’t need more discipline.

You need more fuel.
