From tired to thriving! - 6 foods to help you feel wonderful.

If you're constantly feeling tired, foggy, or have the 'can't be bothered' attitude your food choices absolutely  might be holding you back.

The good news? With a few smart swaps, you can balance your blood sugar, boost your energy, and take back control of your life.

Here are 6 powerful foods (backed by science) that can help you go from tired to thriving:

1. Don’t fear salt – It's a natural energy booster

If you’re constantly tired, low sodium and magnesium might be part of the problem. When you cut back on processed foods or eat fewer carbs, your body naturally flushes out more salt. Sodium is essential for hydration, brain and muscle function, and even energy production.

If you’re feeling dizzy, sluggish, or mentally foggy, a pinch of good-quality sea salt in your water or on your meals can make a noticeable difference.

Don’t skip the salt—your energy depends on it.

2. Eggs (if you don't have an allergy)

Nature’s perfect protein. Eggs are rich in essential amino acids, healthy fats, and nutrients like choline to support brain function.

They help keep blood sugar stable and energy levels steady—especially when paired with veggies.

Tip: Start your day with a savoury egg-based breakfast to prevent mid-morning crashes.

3. Avocados

Packed with healthy fats and potassium, avocados support insulin sensitivity and brain clarity. The fat keeps you fuller for longer, helping you avoid that energy rollercoaster.

Tip: Add half an avocado to your lunch salad, protein smoothie or make a beautiful guacamole and pair it with your meat.  

4. Wild-caught salmon or sardines

Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, salmon and sardines fight inflammation, supports hormone balance, and boosts your brain health—all key for sustained energy and focus.

Tip: Try and get wild caught or get some other seafood that is locally caught and not farmed. 

5. Walnuts, brazil nuts or pecans. 

A handful of nuts (not particularly cashews or peanuts) gives you a beautiful mix of healthy fats and a little  protein. They don’t spike your blood sugar and help fuel your brain without the crash.

Tip: Keep a small container in your bag for a powerful on-the-go snack.

6. Leafy greens (like rocket or bokchoy)

Greens are packed with magnesium, a mineral many people are low in—and one that’s essential for energy, stress relief, and blood sugar balance.

Tip: Add a handful of rocket or bok-choy to every meal. Spinach is best eaten cooked so opt for rocket, lettuce leaves, and bok-choy. 

7. Grass-fed meats 

Super high in protein and healthy fats, grass-fed meat is the perfect food. It helps you shift into fat burning mode and also feeds your metabolism. 

Tip: Try and get the best quality meat that you can, often a butcher is a much better option and ask whether it's grass fed.
