INTRODUCTION
HI, I’M MORGAN,
BUT MOST OF MY CLIENTS CALL
ME COACH MOMO.
Everything I do has a purpose. The fastest path
from A to B...except binge watching Working
Moms, that’s just because I like it.
Fitness is my life. I’ve discovered not just the most
effective path, but also one that’s sustainable. In
my 10+ years of training, coaching, and athletics,
I’ve learned that transforming the body is a
science.
Wow. That’s intense.
But it’s a lot simpler than to fall into the trap of
hours of cardio while eating only 1,200 calories
and withering away in frustration when nothing is
working.
So let’s lunge to the land of MoMo[Muscle].
We work smarter, not just harder.
MoMo[Muscle] levels up your digestion, decreases
fat storing hormones, increases your fat burning
hormones, restores your energy and mental focus,
and gets you feeling more confident than Mariah
Carey on Christmas Day.
Because how can you and another person be on
the same diet and training and see completely
different results?
We’re the AFAB powered fitness HQ with an edge,
raw and unfiltered. Kinda like that $11 Whole Foods
juice you convinced yourself to buy.
The short answer?
We’re using science to create a lean, strong body
so that you see sustainable, permanent results.
Understanding and manipulating your body to do
the work for you is not just easier, it’s necessary.
Each body is different and thus needs something
different than the next.
Finally, proven methods to optimize your body are
now at your fingertips.
The long answer?
Seeing long-term fat loss and/or muscle gain
comes from optimizing your gut health,
metabolism, hormones, and movement quality.
Yes, Netflix will be there when you get back from
the gym, but now it’s time to turn on some 21
Savage and break a sweat.

Beep, BEEP, Beep. This is a f*cking wake-up call.
Yes, wake up calls are annoying, but wouldn’t you
answer it if the most confident you is on the other
side?
This book is for the women who want to feel
strong. The andro type who doesn’t want big hips.
The D1 athletes who need to get back in it. The
non-binary humans that just wanting to feel more
like themselves.
You’ve learned what the square root of 64 is, how
to have 8 tabs open and to eat ice cream when life
gets hard. Now it’s time to learn the valuable
science that will transform your body. I’m giving
you the tools to get you exactly where you want to
be in life.
I just ask one thing of you...
LIFT LIKE YOU
GIVE A FUCK.
*clears throat* Not elliptical like you give a fuck.
GET OUT OF
YOUR HEAD.
You could be thinking, ErMehGawd I’m afraid of
the meatheads, I don’t know what I’m doing, I’m
embarrassed to even try and I definitely don’t
want to look stupid.
I’m here to tell you, we got this. It’s going to take
some time and practice, but the first step is to get
out of your head and take action; and I am here to
talk you through every step of the process.

RESULTS.
First and foremost, lifting weights won’t make you
bulky. Adding bulk requires a surplus of calories.
So if you’re eating according to your program, you
won’t be looking like a bloated beefcake. Instead,
you’ll be looking sharp and shredded.
If you’re already a barbell lover, great. Now we just
have to refine your training. When your muscles
aren’t responding and your progress seems like
stagnant pond water, we need to shake that shit
up and knowledge-bomb your head with the right
information about how you can train more
effectively.
There is a difference between mindlessly
completing an exercise and engaging the targeted
muscles, focusing on the contraction and keeping
strict form. Do that, and watch your pond water
turn into Niagara Falls (cheesiest joke of the
program so don’t worry, it’s over with).
EFFORT.
Working out for one hour is 4% of your day.
You can make time for 4%. You’re probably on
Instagram for 30% of the day, so change it up and
let’s get in the gym.
Effort is a sign of growth. It means you’re
stretching yourself into the best you. We grew up
in a generation of immediate gratification with
constant self-comparison.
We need to cut that out and realize permanent
results come from consistent action. Rome wasn’t
built in a day and neither are vascular biceps.

Commit to improving your physical, mental, and
emotional health by lifting more. Or to silence the
constant critic in your mind when you look at the
mirror.
Sure, it’s going to take time, early mornings, and
more of an effort than we’d prefer. But it’s time to
be a badass and show yourself and others your
true colors. Champions are made when they take
action even when they don’t feel like it. I know
that sounds like a lot, but you weren’t put on this
Earth to be average. You were put here show us
just how bright you can shine.
MoMo[Muscle] has a voice and so do you.
We gut punch the stereotype that women and
AFAB humans are boxed into and showcase the
empowering energy that comes from self
improvement. Consider this an invitation to step
into your greatness and become the powerful
boss you were designed to be.
You don’t have to apologize for leaving your bae
to go to the gym or only eating one scoop of ice
cream instead of the pint. You’re simply creating a
better lifestyle for YOU because nobody else will
do it for you.
Results aren’t as rewarding, if you don’t work for
them, right? Let’s pretend you said yes...

5 LAWS OF
LIFTING
WARNING: THEY WILL PRODUCE RESULTS!
+ FEEL YOUR MUSCLES
Like yes, you can literally fondle them a bit. But have you ever felt a better muscle
pump or contraction while lifting light weight versus heavy weight? Well shit, it’s
because your body doesn’t know the difference between 10lbs or 100lbs.
It only knows muscle tension.
When you chase the heavy weights, your body will do anything it can to lift that
weight safely. That usually means putting tension in every muscle except the
targeted muscle. When you focus on stabilizing the weight and contracting the
muscle fibers, you will experience a more optimal reaction.
Slow down your reps and ‘feel’ your muscles squeeze hard to elicit the hormonal,
metabolic, and nervous system response for sculpting your body or adding on
muscle. The mind-muscle connection is much more powerful than you might
think. Don’t realize that 10 years down that road, okay baybay?
M O M O M U SCL E
THE FI G HTER
+ MAXIMUM EFFORT IS KEY
To change your body, you need to destroy your body, aka go to failure.
Training to failure, or maximal effort, is pushing yourself to the point of
momentary muscular failure where the neuromuscular system can no longer
produce enough force to complete the exercise. It breaks down your muscle
and tells your body “to survive this hour of bullshit, I need to get stronger.”
Training to failure means you win at life but die a little inside. Kidding, but not
really. That shit burns but it’s oh so worth it. It creates a massive hormonal
response in your favor (fat burning/muscle building.) You must pass through
the “anabolic threshold” to elicit new growth. Of course, after destroying
yourself, you need to fuel with adequate nutrition, including amino acids and
calories.
So, when your program says “do 12-15 reps of a working set”, it does not mean
“do 12 moderately easy reps”. It means pick a weight that will help you will hit
complete failure around 12-15 reps.
If you can do more than 15 reps, then do more. If 19 reps is failure, then do 19!
The goal is to hit failure at 12-15 reps to promote the correct hormonal
response, but that is ONLY if you are reaching failure.
I see this all the time. When I work out with gurlies, they ask,
“So how many reps did you do?”
“11,” I say.
*Gurlie follows and does 12 reps easily*
“Go to failure, whatever that is,” I say.
*She’s able to complete 29 reps*
How? They chose weight that’s too light or did too few reps the first go
around..
Typically, we will aim to hit failure for the last 2-3 sets of every exercise.
The first 1-2 sets you will be warming up. Keep in mind, heavy compound lifts
such as squats, bench press, deadlifts, and heavy lunges do not need
to be done until failure because strength is typically the priority.
Babe-Tip: Another way you can push to failure more easier is going slower,
contraction harder, and maintaining constant tension on the muscle.
5 L AW S O F L IF T IN G
+ RED LINE THAT SHIT
When we train, focus your mind in this moment. Put on some Marilyn
Manson, Cardi B or Drake. Whatever gets you in the zone, we need to tap into
your inner beast. Ramp up your intensity during each set to see maximal
results. It crucial not just WHAT you do, but HOW you do it.
I recommend keeping your workouts 45-60 minutes maximum. Meaning from
the moment you start your first working set to the moment you finish your
last rep. This will force you to get off IG and make every minute in the gym
count.
A few quick tips during your workout to increase intensity: keep rest 45-60
seconds on most sets and implement a lot of drop sets, supersets, trisets,
and compound movements. Your program will have all the details. These
methods will keep your heart rate up to burn calories and pump more blood
to your muscle.
So, this is no time to half-ass your workout. You have a mission. Complete it...
or else I’m going to tickle you to death. Yes, that is one of the worst ways to
die, so don’t test me.
+ BREATHING
To deliver nutrients to your muscles, increase performance, and create a
stronger base of support, breathing through your reps and using your
diaphragm is key.
Place your hand on your chest and breathe. Feel your chest rise? Okay, now
place your hand on your stomach and breathe into your stomach. Avoid the
chest rising.
Perfect, now practice stomach breathing throughout your life to prevent
injuries, improve posture and overall wellness.
Start every workout with 10 breaths into your stomach. You’ll be amazed at how
much calmer your body feels using this method.
A consistent breathing rhythm is also important in nearly every exercise and
especially important during high-intensity exercises. Think to inhale on the
eccentric (negative part of rep) and exhale on the concentric (positive or effort).
5 L AW S O F L IF T IN G
+ INCREASE MUSCLE ACTIVATION
Squeeze your booty right now. Ok, now squeeze harder. See what you just did
there? You were able to concentrate on flexing your butt and thus recruit
more muscle fibers.
When lifting, the same principle applies. Use your mind-muscle connection to
improve the communication between your brain and muscle fibers. Since
movement begins with the brain, doesn’t it make sense to exercise the brain
just as you would exercise your muscle? Just nod your head yes.
Focusing on conctraction recruits more muscle fibers and isolates the
primary mover in the exercise to prevent other muscles from taking over.
To get even more connected, close your eyes or look at the muscle you’re
working. As you do each rep, think about contracting those particular muscle
fibers. See the muscle work in your mind and tell your brain to squeeze it
harder. Make. Every. Rep. Count.

GYM CHEAT SHEET
+ AMRAP
+ MULTIPLE DROP SETS
As many reps as possible, either in one set or
within a given amount of time.
Drop weight multiple times in one set. Push to
failure each time you drop weight. Example: 12
reps at 60lbs, 15 reps (failure) at 40lbs and 18 reps
(failure) at 30lbs.
+ BARBELL
The big metal bar you see on the squat rack. Add
weight plates to each side to increase load. A
standard barbell is 45lbs and a women’s olympic
bar is 35lbs. Use clamps or collars for safety.
+ CONCENTRIC
The contracting (“positive”) aspect of the lift.
Example, the way up on a bicep curl or pull up.
+ DB OR DUMBBELL
A short bar with weights on each end. Usually on a
rack littered with gym bros. Get in there and grab
a pair. Dumbbells are great for balancing out
uneven muscles.
+ DROP SET
Complete reps, usually to failure, and immediately
after, drop/reduce the weight and continue for
more reps until you reach failure. Weight drop is
dependent on fatigue level. Ex. 12x8 is 12 reps at a
heavier weight then you drop the weight by about
30-50% and do 8 reps, aiming for failure each time.
+ ECCENTRIC
The lowering (“negative”) aspect of the lift.
Example, the way down on a bicep curl, pull up or
squat.
+ ELEVATED
+ REPS
1 bicep curl = 1 rep.
+ PULSE REPS
After failure, pulse reps can be added for
additional intensity. Usually at the peak of the
exercise, you pulse to perform small muscle
contractions. Can sometimes look very sexual.
+ PUMP
Increased blood flow into a muscle, usually
resulting in a feeling of skin tightening.
+ PARTIAL REPS
Usually after reps to failure, partial reps can be
added to increase intensity. The range of motion
decreases and the contraction increases.
+ ROM
Range of motion is the range on a particular
movement that you can control. Example, how
low you can go in a squat with good form.
+ RPE
Rating of percieved exertion is how hard you feel
your body is working during an exercise.
Using an object, such as a bench, Smith Machine
or box, to elevate your upper body.
+ SETS
+ FORCED/ASSISTED REPS
A group of repetitions of an exercise.
Example: five pull-ups in a row = one set.
After failure, forced reps may be added, using a
little momentum to squeeze out a few more reps.
Do it, but don’t look like a dumb donkey swinging
shit around.

resting. Rest period starts after the second
exercise is completed. It’s hard.
Ex. A1, A2; etc. are supersets.
Working one part of your body at a time. Example,
single leg or single arm exercises.
+ TO FAILURE
Complete reps of an exercise until your muscles
quit. Muscle failure, not mind failure.
+ WARM-UP SET
The beginning set of an exercise with light weight
(30-50% your max) to safely warm up the body
and efficiently complete the full range of motion.

MY FAVORITE
WARM UP
The goal of a warm up is to increase your body temperature and activate the core to prevent injuries.
It’s also a time to check in with your body. See what’s tight, sore, or needing some TLC post-workout.
Warm-ups may also serve as a way to increase muscle activation. Dynamic warmup drills (active
stretches that take joints through a range of motion) can improve performance and increase force
output. Don’t simply “go through the motions.” The goal is to always be very mindful about what muscles
are contracting and what movement that contraction is creating.

4 STEPS TO
TRAINING
Before stepping into the gym, it is crucial you set your body up for success.
That means slowing down and rewiring your foundation. Here are the four
fundamental steps I take my clients through.
The steps to proper training:
+01 MOBILITY
Deep stretching, foam rolling, yoga, lacrosse ball,
massage, dynamic stretching, etc. Is your body
able to hit the proper position before we load it?
+02 STABILITY
Shoulder/ankle/hip stability, strong arches, core
strength, strong glutes, and a bulletproof lower back.
Are your joints stable enough to handle load?
+03 STRENGTH
Weight training, loaded movement, exercises, etc.
Now that you’re able to hit the positions and
stabilize your body, we can load your muscles with
quality movement and weight.
+04 CONDITIONING
HIIT, explosive work, speed drills, and high-volume
exercises. We add in conditioning to burn more fat, boost
the metabolism, and increase volume with quality
positions and movement.

EXACTLY WHAT I WANT.
FAQS
Q What if this workout seemed easy/short?
It’s all bout effort and intensity. If you breeze through the sets, then the
weight is too light. If you are just coasting, give more effort to each set.
Don’t just go through your routine — commit to each set. If you want a
longer workout, add a couple more sets in or add in some of your favorite
exercises to compliment the workout. If it’s too easy, concentrate on
flexing that muscle each rep or add in some high intensity training to see
some sweat. Remember the 5 laws of lifting too!
Q This workout seems too hard
That’s cute... No, but honestly if you’re feeling sick, lighten the weight and just
focus on moving your body. If the volume is too much, cut the number of sets
in half or cut the number of exercises. And safety is the number one priority,
so if you’re experiencing pain or something really feels off, don’t do that move,
cut the workout short, and/ or go see your doctor.
Q I feel like I am not seeing results
Consistency is key. Trust the process and make sure to reference the videos
to make sure you are doing each exercise effectively. Work on muscle
activation, slow the tempo down, and push most sets close to failure.
Q I am really sore, should I keep working out?
If you feel too sore to lift weights, take a day. Drink water, get in your yoga
pants, put on some Friends and stretch it out. If you feel tired, I would
recommend doing lighter weights than usual and focus on a squeeze each
rep or just doing a day of arms, core, and/or cardio. Accessory work is
great on these days.
Q What about rest days?
Listen. To. Yo. Body. Overtraining will make you prone to injury. If you are a
beginner start at 3-4 days a week. Do not do 6 days of training or 2-a-days in
the beginning. Your body doesn’t need that much volume to produce results
yet. If you are resting more than 3 days a week, remember you can always
do active recovery such as yoga, biking, yo-yoing, thumb wars, or boxing.
M O M O M U SCL E
THE FI G HTER
Q What about training frequency for muscle
groups?
The main thing we can conclude from the scientific literature on frequency
is that training each muscle twice per week is better than only training
each muscle once per week. Training a muscle more than once per week
is more optimal for hypertrophy, even when volume is the same. Your
program includes a full body workout to hit most body parts a least twice
per week.
Q Why am I doing some of the same exercises?
Building a strong, lean body comes from mastering the basics. Rowing,
pulling, squats, deadlifts, presses, and raises are foundational movements.
We then vary stance, reps, weight, tempo, etc. to vary the training.
Progressive overload in foundational movements is the key to results. Focus
more on quality of movement versus just feeling like you’re doing a new
workout every day of your life.
Q Where are the reference videos?
Check videos here.
Q What do the commas in reps mean?
It means a new set. For example 15, 12, 10, 8+8 means FOUR total sets.
First set is 15 reps, second is 12 reps, third is 10 reps, and fourth is 8 reps
with a dropset of 8 reps. Aiming to increase in weight each set.
Q What does the + on sets mean?
Its a dropset. So you will lighten the weight and continue to do reps to
failure. Example, 8+max reps or 8+8 means 8 heavier reps then drop the
weight to either bodyweight or a lighter weight and complete max reps to
failure. It is technically ONE SET.
Q What does A1 A2 mean?
It’s a superset. Meaning complete the first exercise (A1) and then
immediately complete the second exercise (A2). If there is a A3, then it is a
triple set. Rest after completing both exercises in the super-set.
M O M O M U SCL E
FA Q S
Q What should I do once I finish the training
program?
The 6-week training program has a lot of variety every week to keep
things interesting and more fun. However, I could’ve made it an 18-week
program. According to optimal strength training science, it is good to
repeat 1 week of training, 3 times. So technically you could do week 1, for
3 weeks and add more weight each week *progressive overload*. Or you
could complete the 6 weeks and repeat that multiple times, adding
weight, changing grips, and varying reps. This is my personal preference
as it more sustainable and exciting for me.
Q What does 15, 12+8, 12+8, 10+8 mean?
First set is 15 reps, second set is 12 with a dropset of 8 reps/max reps, third
set is the same and fourth set is 10 reps with a dropset of 8 reps/max reps.
Q What if I don’t have equipment to box?
Boxing transformed my conditioning. It really helped me have fun, flow and
still get great cardio. I would highly recommend investing in gloves and a
bag in the long term of your fitness journey. If an alternative conditioning
workout is calling your name, swap the boxing programming for the
conditioning found at the end of other workouts. Such as sprints, wods, or
30s burpees, 30s plank - 5 rounds.
Q Do I need the Body Type Program & the App?
Would you have waffles without syrup? The Body Type Programs are
loaded with detailed plans and approaches and the MomoMuscle App
compliments the programs with visual guidance and videos. Investing in
both is the most comprehensive, 360° approach to fitness.
Q What’s included in the app?
The app lets you train alongside me with a library of videos for every
exercise included in your training program. It has demo videos of each
exercise that can be helpful for proper form. You can even direct message
me through the app with questions as you train. Join here.

FA Q S
Q I don’t eat meat, can I still do the
programs?
Hell yes. Gimme that quinoa and broccoli. No but for real, I breakdown the
science of optimizing muscle gain and that means talking about the amino
acid profile in protein. So I give you plant-based meal plans, grocery lists,
necessary supplements, recipes, and the pros and cons of plan based
proteins to do that. However, if you’re looking for a vegan cookbook, this
isn’t going to be it.

TOP 5 KEYS TO
THE FIGHTER
+01 STRENGTH
We focus on building a stacked physique with overall strength and power.
This means rock hard shoulders, lats and biceps to create the ultimate
upper body. You’ll stand taller and more confident. The training split helps
develop the key muscles that are seen right away in a shirt.
+02 V-TAPER
We widen out the shoulders through lateral shoulder development,
increasing lat width, and tighten up the waist with specific rotational
exercises and conditioning to create the ultimate V-Taper shape.
+03 PULLING EXERCISES
We pull more than we push to stand taller and develop confident,
attractive posture. Walking around with a proud chest, pumped upper
body and the ability to fill out a shirt is a game changer.
+04 VASCULARITY
We’re not only building strength but infusing hypertrophy training to create
massive blood flow for tight, visible veins that pop out from your shirt.
+05 MORE IMPACT IN LESS TIME
Every movement has a purpose. We only need four days a week because we
focus in on form, muscle activation, and strength to develop a tight physique.

THE BEGINNING
T H E F I G HT E R
FO LLO W @MO MO MUS CL E
FAT LOSS ISN’T
JUST A CALORIE
ISSUE
Once upon a time, I loved food. More so the fact I could control myself
with it, not just the taste. This soon became an obsession, so I started
reading Women’s Fitness Magazines to find the right diet.
They suggested a 1,200-calorie diet with English muffins, egg whites, and
yogurts... They promised me a bikini body so I was all for it. On top of this
diet, I started working out daily for 2-3 hours with a lot of intimate time
with the stair master.
I calculated everything. It was just one of the many ways to control my life
and eventually, I learned to release it. I was putting way too much effort
without reaping the benefits, because I wasn’t intentional. This is called
overkill. I knew there had to be a better way. A clear stimulus, gets a clear
result.
However, getting stronger mentally and physically became my mission.
Investing 4+ hours a day in gruelling training sessions put me in a
position to earn two Gold Medals in Olympic Lifting in Rome, Italy, two
gold medals in Powerlifting, and multiple CrossFit competition wins. I’ve
hit a 225lb bench press, 330lb squat, and 335lb deadlift.
Pretty strong for a... anybody (;

TH E F I G HT E R
FO LLO W @MO MO MUS CL E
FROM
OBSESSION TO
INTELLIGENT
EFFORT.
After pushing my performance to the max, I
decided to switch gears and focus on
aesthetics, rather than total strength. I became
certified as a Nutrition Specialist through the
International Sports Science Association and
began diving deep into gut health, insulin
resistance, hormones, and muscle activation.
It became painfully obvious how much of a gap
there was in the women’s fitness industry
between what actually works and what these
bikini body girls are telling you. So in 2018, I
launched MoMo[Muscle] to give my fellow
women & AFAB babes the tools to see actual
results, the right way.
I’m currently living in Los Angeles, California
my happiest days are spent educating my
AFAB fam in and out of the gym to claim their
confidence by understanding their body.

THERE’S NO DEBATE
THAT ICE CREAM
*OR WINE* IS ONE OF
THE GREATEST GIFTS
OF LIFE.
What if I told you that you can have your ice
cream and abs? Great. Now that I have your
attention, we’re going to squash the myth that
a fit body is determined by how much chicken
and broccoli you can endure. It turns out there
is a smarter way...
...THE BABE WAY.
TH E F I G HT E R
FO LLO W @MO MO MUS CL E
WELCOME TO
BABE, GO EAT.
Leverage nutrition science to intelligently fuel your
body, so you have more food freedom.
The trend of eating less and working out more has
become the backdrop on ‘how-to’ lose weight.
Yogurt, granola, oatmeal, and nuts are seen as the
holy grail of fitness. But what if those foods were
actually stalling your progress? Wouldn’t you
rather skip the granola so you could gain more
momentum?
To produce results, we first need to optimize your
body. Because it isn’t just the food you eat, but
also how your body reacts, absorbs, and digests it.
Following the Babe Way, you will use food not only
to sculpt your body, but also to prime your body to
use fat as fuel. We do this without having to
obsess over calories or spend hours in spin class.
SOME PERKS OF
THE BABE WAY
THIS IS SU STAINABL E,
SCIENCE-BASED F IT NESS
+ You’re actually excited to go out to eat with the
homies.
+ Your weekend binge will seem unnecessary as
you are always satisfied.
+ Say goodbye to anxiety! You can finally eat
confidently as the science will de-bunk any
myths of FAD diets that are sweeping the fitness
industry.
+ Your meals will be more creative and flavorful
with nutrients that serve a purpose!
This book will provide you with the keys to
sticking to a healthy lifestyle to achieve your
goals.

BABE, G O EAT.
“PERFECTIONISM IS A SELF
DESTRUCTIVE AND ADDICTIVE
BELIEF SYSTEM THAT FUELS
THIS PRIMARY THOUGHT: IF I
LOOK PERFECT, AND DO
EVERYTHING PERFECTLY, I
CAN AVOID OR MINIMIZE THE
PAINFUL FEELINGS OF SHAME,
JUDGMENT, AND BLAME.”
MO M O M U SCL E

METHODS FOR
FOOD FREEDOM
The truth is: most women don’t need to eat less.
We just need to repair our body by eliminating
inflammatory foods and nourishing it with the
good shit. By improving our digestion, metabolism,
and hormone balance, we change the way our
body reacts to food.
Every time you eat, it’s an opportunity to increase
your ability to lean out, build muscle, and have
total brain clarity, elevated mood, quality energy,
clear skin, and an elite level digestive system.
The Babe Way isn’t keto, paleo, IIFYM, low-carb, or
the sun diet. We blend science with a sustainable
lifestyle to provide realistic solutions straight to
our dream body.
We build food freedom by nourishing your body
with high quality protein, nutrient-dense
vegetables, and healthy fats.
We’ll strategically reduce carbohydrates to keep
your fat burning hormones high and fat storing
hormones low. However, when it’s ice cream night
or wine-o clock, we are all for you enjoying it.
For example, toast for breakfast is eh...
Fro Yo on a Saturday night is yasssss. This is food
freedom. Follow the Babe Way and enjoy your
favorite foods without stalling your progress.
THE TRUTH IS:
MOST WOMEN & AFAB
BABES DON’T NEED
TO EAT LESS.
M O M O M U SCL E
BABE, G O EAT.
MY TOP 5
BABE RULES
+01 TRUST THE SCIENCE
There are a lot of food trends out there, but knowing how the body
actually reacts to food is key. This will boost your food confidence and
you won’t have any diet FOMO.
+02 LESS OBSESSION,
MORE FEELING
Strict rules, restriction, and calculating every bite is no way to live, let
alone sustain. The goal is to build a foundation from understanding
nutrition science so you can add in little treats and experience more
without any guilt.
+03 BUILD MOMENTUM
If you say you’re going to the gym and your procrastination kicks in,
your psyche remembers that. Instead, build respect for yourself by
sticking to what you set out to do. You are your most important client,
customer, or business deal. Set yourself up for success so you never
miss a meeting.
+04 LOSE THE FOOD
FEAR
Food freedom is one of the most liberating transformations I’ve
undergone. A lot of us feel overwhelmed with anxiety when it comes to
food. We eat quickly, release stress hormones, and over think every
bite. Fear not, because once you understand how food will actually
optimize your body, it won’t have control over you.
+05 TRUST THE PROCESS
There are no quick fixes or miracle diets or dream body in 30 days.
There is just consistency and time. Put in the work, exercise patient,
and enjoy the journey.
M O M O M U SCL E
THE FI G HTER
HABITS
Habits are how you achieve big goals. So, here are
a few habits to address to make sure you’re hitting
the basics of becoming a muscle building babe.
+01 REST:
ADEQUATE SLEEP
Quality sleep is the foundation for a healthy body.
If your goal is to look and feel like a king/queen,
then you need to be treated like one. Sleeping 7 - 9
hours a night is the easiest way to get your
hormones optimized to build muscle, burn fat, and
fuel you with energy.
WANT TO LEAN OUT?
SLEEP.
WANT TO BUILD MUSCLE?
SLEEP.
WANT TO LOOK YOUNGER?
SLEEP.
Babe-Tips:
+ Use a blue light dimmer on your phone a few hours before bed
+ Avoid any bright lights in your room
+ Take a magnesium supplement before bed to calm your body
+ Chug a glass of water upon waking to kickstart your day *game changer*
+ Extra credit - drink a glass of water if you get up to pee in the middle of
the night to wake up hydrated.

THE FI G HTER
+02 NUTRITION:
MEAL PREP
I know you’re a busy babe, and ain’t nobody got
time to chop up onions and cry. We need
convenience, but we also need fresh, simple
meals.
However, being in a pinch for time can sabotage

FAQS
Q IS FOOD REALLY THAT IMPORTANT
TO LEANING OUT?
Have you ever tried eating healthy? You know...the meal plans from
Women’s Health Magazine.
- Wake up: English muffin & black coffee
- 3 Hours Later: Apple & peanut butter
- Lunch: Salad with a few nuts
- Dinner: Chicken & vegetables
- After-Dinner Cravings: 3 Skinny Cow Bars, a whole 90% sea
salt dark chocolate bar, half bag of popcorn, and 23 Thin Mints.
Yeah, so this is called malnourishment. If you’re eating like this, your body
isn’t getting enough nutrients, so you crave sugar to feel better. This is
because sugar is the quickest way for the body to feel better...for a short
time that is.
Aside from around your menstrual cycle, cravings can be a sign you are
depleted somewhere. It may be due to lack of calories, protein, healthy
fats, vitamins & minerals, etc.
Additional symptoms include an impaired immune system, low energy
levels, and reduced hormone function that make it harder to lose fat.
These negative effects just goes to show that a balanced, long-term
approach to nutrition will always pay off.
Q HOW MANY CALORIES SHOULD I EAT?
Eat less, weigh less, right?
WRONG.
The body is smart. It doesn’t want to die, so when you restrict energy/
calories, it’s going to do everything it can to survive. It’s not afraid to slow
down your metabolism, burn fewer calories during the day, sweat less,
poop less (yes, I have to say poop in this book), and crave more.
Thankfully, we can use a simple formula to figure out the number of
calories you need to ingest based on your weight and activity level.
Babe-Tip:
Whatever you do, never listen to My Fitness Pal’s suggestion of how much you
should eat, that shit is never right.
M O M O M U SCL E
THE FI G HTER
THE FORMULA TO FIND YOUR CALORIES:
Your body weight X activity multiplier = number of calories per day to
maintain current physique.
ACTIVITY MULTIPLIER
10 = Bed-Ridden
11 = Sedentary
12 = Less than 5 hours/week
13 = 5-10 hours/week
14 = 10-15 hours/week
15 = 15-20 hours/week
This is a very simplified formula, but it will give you an idea of where to
start when finding your maintenance calories.
If you eat less than that, you will lose tissue (primarily fat and some
muscle). If you eat more, you will gain tissue (type depends on nutriton +
exercise).
An even more useful tip: track your food for a few days to gain more food
awareness and understand where you’ve trained your metabolism to be.
Take the average of the three days of eating, which is a more accurate
way to find your maintenance calories.
Babe-Tip:
I see a lot of people in a HUGE caloric deficit. Ex.: Body needs 1,300
calories to just live (bodyweight times 10) plus 1,000 calories from spin
and leg day then only eat 1,200 calories.
That puts you in a 1,100 calorie deficit. After a few days, your body thinks
it is starving. Your metabolism slows, hormones lower, etc.
So just know, this doesn’t work...and TOO many people are doing this.

MACRONUTRIENTS
Before we get into all the pretty meal plans, we need to
talk science. But don’t worry, I’ll translate it into Babe
Science.
Food is made up of three macronutrients and a variety
of micronutrients. Macro means large; thus we need
macronutrients in large quantities.
Macros include:
- Protein: 4 calories per gram
- Carbohydrates: 4 calories per gram
- Fat: 9 calories per gram
Importance: Having awareness of general macros in
your food is an invaluable key to seeing results.
Macros are the building blocks we need for growth,
a stronger metabolism, and optimizing our

ABOUT PROTEIN
“EVERYTHING YOU KNOW ABOUT PROTEIN IS
WRONG. YOU NEED AT LEAST 30 TO 50 GRAMS
OF HIGH-QUALITY PROTEIN 3 TIMES A DAY.
IT WILL PROTECT YOU FOR LIFE.”
- DR. GABRIELLE LYON.
Protein is the boss of a nutrient keeps your hair,
skin, nails, body, and energy glowing.
Protein is essential to shaping your body into a
leaner, more defined physique. It helps you feel
amazing and look amazing. So why is it so
neglected?
FITNESS MYTH:
Eating protein will make you bigger and bulky.
FALSE. The only way to gain weight (muscle
or fat) requires eating more calories than you
use. Rather, eating a balanced diet with
adequate protein, healthy fats, and vegetables
will transform your soft parts into toned parts.
Common indicators that you aren’t eating enough
protein include:
+ Low energy
+ Low immunity
+ Liver issues
+ Edema
+ Low blood pressure and low HR
+ Anemia
+ Regular food cravings
+ Hair, skin, and nail weakness
+ Brain fog
+ Feeling anxious or moody
+ You have high cholesterol
+ You are stuck at the same weight or bodyfat

PROTEIN SYNTHESIS
& AMINO ACIDS
Protein is a blanket term for amino acids, which
are the building blocks of your body. Protein is
necessary for repairing your muscle after breaking
it down in a workout.
Note, repair does not mean bulk. Repair means to
add shape. Bulking only comes from excess
calories. Like a bottle of wine and a tray of cookies,
while watching the Bachelor. Or something like
that...
The richer in amino acids a protein source is, the
more efficient it is for the calories consumed.
This is why an amino acids supplement can be
added to a plant-based diet. Foods such as tofu,
beans, tempeh, etc. are not complete proteins.
Thus, they do not have the full amino acid profile
necessary to utilize protein for its fat burning and
muscle supporting qualities.
FITNESS MYTH:
Protein is protein.
FALSE.
The quality of the protein, aka its amino acids
profile, is largely responsible for the favorable
effects that you want from it. Pay attention to the
amino acid profile in your food for optimal results.

THE TRUTH ABOUT
PROTEIN FROM
DOCS
Muscle protein synthesis (MPS) is an anabolic
response that occurs in response to eating protein
and resistance training. Your protein response
specifically relates to leucine intake. To maximize
the MPS response, ~2.5g of leucine is required.
This is known as the “leucine threshold.
“At a bare minimum, research has shown that at
least 30g of protein, 3 times a day will stimulate
the muscle for protein synthesis. This leads to
muscle growth, which will ultimately lead to a
healthier balance of muscle to fat — giving the
ideal body composition ratios. To only address
obesity as a “too much fat” problem and not look
at the “too little muscle” problem, is a pitfall and
missed opportunity. You can lose fat, not address
the muscle and still not see the balance you want
in your body. This isn’t just talking about looks and
aesthetics either, that just comes with it... this truly
will address the other imbalances within the body
such as hormone, blood sugar and other issues
that can create havoc and cause disease within
the body.”
- Dr. Gabrielle Lyon,
The Queen of Thyroid & Women’s Hormones
“As we age, we need to eat more protein in one
sitting. That means someone at 65 and up needs
40 to 50 grams of protein to stimulate the same
kind of muscle turnover. However, there is a
tendency to eat less protein as we age. Anabolic
resistance is happening earlier, in the 30s, where
the receptor becomes less sensitive to protein and
fat infiltrates your tissues.”

How does eating protein initiate muscle protein
synthesis?
“So, it’s the essential amino acids in protein that
are responsible for the increase in muscle protein
synthesis in response to protein intake or food
intake. In particular, the amino acid leucine
appears to have an important role as a trigger. It
appears to be the most important amino acid;
however, all of the essential amino acids are
required to serve as building blocks for the
building of new muscle protein.”

“One of the examples that we like to use is that, for
example, quinoa is sort of everyone’s superfood
right now and people talk about it having a
complete amino acid mixture, but what people
ignore is just how low in protein it is.”
- Professor Donald Layman
If you take something like beef, it has about 8.6%
Leucine. To get 2.5 grams of leucine in beef you’d
need about 29 grams of protein and that would
require about 183 kcal (“calories”) to get to it.
If you did the same thing with quinoa; it only has
about 6% leucine in it. Which means you need
almost 42 grams of protein. So you would need
1100 kcal of quinoa to just get to 2.5 grams of
leucine. And for three meals a day just in quinoa,
you’d have to eat 3,300 calories to get to the
targets.

PROTEIN SUMMARY
BABE-SCIENCE RECAP
+ BCAAs, or, branch chain amino acids feed the
muscle first.
+ To maximize your muscle protein synthesis
response over the course of a day, eat 3–4 evenly
spaced meals that surpass the leucine threshold
of 2.5g.
+ Animal proteins have the highest amount of
branched-chain amino acid composition.
+ Plant-based protein sources will mean a higher
protein intake is needed to hit the required level of
leucine. Not to fret for the veggie eaters, a branch
chain amino acid (BCAA) supplement can be
added to your meals to surpass your leucine
threshold.
+ The older you get, your fat burning and muscle
building hormones decrease including HGH,
testosterone, and thyroid levels. To ensure you are
supporting your longevity, protein may be
increased to 40g per meal to ensure the leucine
threshold is surpassed.
+ The proper amount of protein eaten each day
should add up to about 1.6g per kilogram of
weight.
+ You need at least 30 to 50 grams of highquality protein 3 times a day. It will protect you
for life.
+ The more sedentary you are, the harder it is to
stimulate muscle protein synthesis. Thus, the more
protein you should be consuming per meal.
+ To avoid going into starvation mode, never cut
calories from your protein intake. Rather, keep
your protein intake elevated to prevent muscle
waste.
+ Glutamine is an amino acid that
strengthens your stomach lining to help with
digestion and nutrient absorption.
+ A diet is only as good as its protein and amino
acids. High quality fats and lower glycemic
carbohydrates are another key, but the quality of
your protein determines the quality of your health.

CARBOHYDRATES
The average American consumes 225g-325g of
carbohydrates a day.
That’s a lot of sugar.
And when you have a lot of sugar in your blood,
insulin is secreted to store it. When you don’t burn
it off in activities, the excess overflow of glycogen
is then stored in the body as fat.
Common indicators that you are eating too many
carbohydrates
+ You often crash around 2pm
+ High Blood Sugar
+ Fatigue
+ Hunger
+ Mood Fluctuations
+ Headaches
+ Bad Skin
+ Poor Digestion
+ Decreased Cognitive Function

Carbohydrates are actually the only macronutrient
that isn’t essential to life. That is why the keto diet
is possible, because your body can be fueled with
ketones for energy instead of glucose. But we like

optimize your body so that you can enjoy the
carbohydrates that seem worth it to you.
M O M O M U SCL E
THE FI G HTER
IS BUTTER A CARB?
CAN WE ALL AGREE THAT
REGINA GEORGE WILL ALWAYS
BE ICONIC?
Great, so anyways... carbohydrates
provide our body with glucose, the preferred
source of energy for our brain and muscles.
Carbs are one of the biggest precursors that
stimulates the production of insulin from your
pancreas.
Insulin tells the body to stop using stored fat as
fuel and instead store more of it. Your body
absorbs the fatty acids and glucose in the
bloodstream, and if they aren’t burned off from
activity, your body stores it as body fat.
One of the benefits to secreting insulin is how it
aids in building muscle. It delivers amino acids to
your muscles. This can be helpful after intense
exercise where your muscle fibers are depleted of
nutrients.
However, consuming carbohydrates shouldn’t be a
high priority when talking about optimal health,
unless you engage in intense, strenuous exercise
or long periods of mental focus... like triathlete shit
or if you’re a competitive CrossFit player.
If your main goal is to have a lean and strong
physique, limiting your carb intake can help you.
When eating a meal with a large amount of high
glycemic carbohydrates, it digests fast and thus
causes your blood sugar to skyrocket.
Your body doesn’t like this...like at all.
M O M O M U SCL E
THE FI G HTER
BLOOD SUGAR 101
When there is excess sugar in your blood, the first
thing your body wants to do is get it back to
normal.
This is when insulin comes in and saves the day. It
comes in and stores the excess sugar in muscle
tissues and especially in fat cells.
This is why maintaining a blood sugar between 70
mg/dl - 110 mg/dl will build a body that is primarily
a fat-burner.
FITNESS MYTH:
CARBS MAKE YOU FAT.
False. Excess calories will increase your
weight. However, elevated insulin levels
make it nearly impossible to burn fat as fuel.
Eat fewer high glycemic, sugary
carbohydrates to control your blood sugar
and insulin to reduce fat storage.
CARB SUMMARY
+ Increase insulin sensitivity by eating fewer
carbohydrates. The more insulin sensitive you are,
the less insulin you need to bring your blood sugar
down to normal range.
+ You can “save” your carbohydrates for the foods
you actually want to enjoy. For myself, I prefer
skipping the daily morning oatmeal for the
occasional ice cream. It’s not strict science, but it’s
what I enjoy.
+ Replacing most carbohydrates with healthy fats
will increase your energy and brain clarity as you
are not fueling with short-fueled nutrients.
+ Less insulin means you have less of a chance to
store your food as fat.
+ By no means am I saying never eat
carbohydrates. Fruit, complex carbohydrates, and
occasional treats all have their place. Rather,
reducing overall intake — especially from gluten,
starches, and sugar — can do a lot of good and is
worth trying.

WHY IS FAT
F*CKING AWESOME?
Fat satiates your hunger, makes everything taste
better, and doesn’t affect insulin levels. Adding fat
to a meal helps slow down the digestion of the
food and helps you feel full and satisfied.
Ever had a bowl of oatmeal and you’re starving a
couple hours later? That is because the meal was
lacking fat and protein to keep you satiated.
Fat is the only macronutrient that doesn’t have any
effect on your insulin. This nutrient is the one of
the keys to prime your body to burn fat. The only
draw back is fat doesn’t have as many bites as
carbohydrates do.
*INSERT VEGGIES HERE*
So, eating a variety of fats will keep your body
happy and healthy.
FITNESS MYTH:
All fats are created equal.
FALSE. Polyunsaturated and
monounsaturated fats are heart-healthy and
are burned readily by the body, while
saturated fats and trans fats are more easily
stored as body fat. Limit the amount of fat,
from processed animal products and aim for
plant-based fats such as nuts, seeds,
avocados, olive oil, etc.

BUT...CAN I DRINK?
Mmmm, liquid that makes you think you’re much
funnier than you are. We love it.
Believe it or not, alcohol is actually the fourth

than carbs and fewer than fat.
Let’s look at the science behind this liquid courage
and understand the effects alcohol has on your
goals and the best way to approach drinking, if
you do drink.
Just like multi-tasking in daily life, our metabolism
must put a halt on the rest of our body’s normal
metabolic processes, such as the metabolism of
glucose (carbohydrates) and fat to focus on this
detoxification process.
Because alcohol decreases the use of fat in your
body, it will then promote fat storage. On top of
that, it will decrease muscle protein synthesis.
Damn, wtf red wine?!? I thought you had my back
for Bachelor night.
To keep it simple, if you consume 4+ drinks, you
are essentially blunting your body’s ability to burn
or metabolize the fat you are about to consume in
a meal.
ALCOHOL 101
The human body reacts to alcohol as a toxin;
we simply weren’t designed to consume it on
a regular basis. When we drink, our liver’s
primary concern is to remove these toxins as
quickly and efficiently as possible.
• Try to stick to 1-3 drinks as your hormones

So if you finish off a bar of chocolate, your body
will not be able to oxidize the fat consumed and
will thus store it. Additionally, muscle growth is
impaired significantly, so your gym session you did
earlier is on pause for a bit.
I’m sure you’re experienced on how to deal with a
hangover at this point, but here are personal
favorites:
+1
When drinking, it’s best to stick with spirits on the
rocks or mix with soda water. Wine and light beer
can be occasional, but high sugared cocktails
should be avoided.
Avoid whiskey, tequila and cognac.
These alcoholic beverages contain a higher
amount of congeners (methanol, isopentanol,
acetone), which are the toxic by-products of
alcohol. Lighter colored spirits have less
congeners and can minimize a hangover.
Remember, most of those carbs won’t be digested
and thus will be stored since your liver is too busy
cleaning up your mess.
+2 Hydrate before, during, and and after drinking.
You can also mix in electrolytes or BCAAs to keep
your headache away.
That 4 am pizza run? Replace it with a highvolume meal. Lots of bites and not too many
calories. Also, that bar of chocolate should be
replaced with a high volume meal.
+3 Sleep a nice sleep.
Note: This is advice for those legally allowed to
consume alcohol. LOL, just had to say.

may feel some symptoms indicating a deficiency.
Lacking iron can lead to symptoms like:
+ Unusual tiredness
+ Fatigue
(due to less oxygen reaching body tissues)
+ Weakness
+ Crankiness
+ Paleness
+ Shortness of breath
+ Headaches and dizziness
+ Heart palpitations
+ Dry and damaged hair/skin
+ Swelling and soreness of tongue and mouth
+ Cracked corners of mouth
+ Restless leg syndrome
+ Brittle or spoon-shaped nails
+ Anxiety
+ Cold hands or feet
+ Frequent infections
There are two types of iron:
HAEM IRON
Can be found in animal meats, such as red meat
and poultry.
NON-HAEM
Can be found in eggs, and plant foods, such as
bread, cereals, leafy green vegetables, legumes
and nuts.
Getting iron from your food is optimal. However, if
you are unable to get your fill of iron from food
alone, adding an iron supplement can be very
helpful. Pairing it with vitamin-C rich foods or a
powder will increase your iron absorption, btw.
Plant-based tip: If you only consume non-haem
iron, keep in mind you need a larger volume of it,
as it is not as readily absorbed. Also consider an
iron and vitamin-C supplement if you experience
any of the symptoms above.

Also, I know what you’re thinking, “how can
something burn fat?” Well, to be more sciency and
not just throw around a bikini body term,
glutamine literally burns fat by prompting the
secretion of human growth hormone (HGH). The
results? New muscle growth — is fueled in part by
the fat stores in the body. When using a glutamine
supplement, HGH levels can increase over 300%,
a response that leads to an increase in resting

It not just the food you eat but what you
absorb from your food. The strength and

affects your ability to digest, absorb, and
utilize nutrients. Keeping your stomach
strong will boost your mood, utilize stored
fat for fuel, and increase your energy!
Have you ever heard of having a weak gut,

It’s a condition in which the lining of the

intestines and flood the blood stream.
Issues associated with poor digestion:
+ Inflammatory and allergic reactions
+ Diarrhea

+ Migraines
+ Eczema
+ Chronic fatigue
+ Hormone imbalances
+ Weak immunity
+ Nutritional deficiencies
+ Joint pain
+ Cravings for sugar
+ Depression, anxiety, ADHD

Oh shit, that’s nasty right? You may have
changed your diet or been relatively healthy,

GLUTEN &
OTHER SH*T
Gluten is a protein found in grains such as wheat,
barley, and rye.
This little shit can cause breakouts, fatigue,
lethargy, mood swings, irritability, mental diseases,
joint pain, inflammation, and weight gain. Now,
some can get away with eating gluten, while
others have an unfavorable response.
A gluten intolerance is when you have a negative
reaction to it. I ate gluten in nearly every meal for
22 years and I thought my brain fog, hanger, and
low energy was just how I was. I didn’t realize I
was experiencing a gluten-intolerance that was
attacking my body every time I ate. Since going
gluten-free, I’ve experienced a drastic
improvement in my mood, energy, brain and
clarity. I really didn’t think I could have a sensitivity
to gluten, but I am so glad I wasn’t stubborn for my
whole life or I would still feel like shit.
After eliminating gluten for 2 weeks, feel free to
add it back into your diet. While I don’t
recommend eating a diet with gluten, if you don’t
experience any negative side effects, you may be
able to fit it into a balanced diet. You don’t have to
give up the bread and olive oil, just try Canyon
Bakehouse Gluten-Free bread as an alternative.

However, I know giving up gluten can be scary.

LIVER HEALTH
Your liver is a gland that cleanses bacteria from
your blood, metabolizes cholesterol and fat, filters
urine and detoxes your body. When your liver is
stressed it affects your weight, hormones,
digestion, sleep, and skin!
Signs that your liver may need help:
+ Trouble digesting fat
+ Hormonal imbalances such as disruptive PMS or
menopause
+ Acne or skin rashes
+ Digestion issues such as gas, heartburn,
bloating diarrhea, bloating, constipation, or
abdominal pain
+ Fatigue
+ Inability to lose weight
Your liver is affected by alcohol intake, prescription
drugs, and junk food coated with chemicals. Did
you know, having just 2-4 servings of alcohol a
week raises your estrogen levels by 22%! This
impairs your ability to burn fat as it can lead to an
imbalance in your thyroid and it can translate to
weight gain.
REFRESH YOUR LIVER
+ Add 3-4oz of fresh orange juice, or
1/2 cup oranges to each meal.
- The vitamin C makes your liver happy,
boosts metabolism, and helps thyroid
function.

MENTAL HEALTH
Food. It can be your best friend or the thing that
keeps you up at night. Identifying any obsessive,
negative, or unhealthy thoughts towards food is
the first step.
The primary way I restored my relationship with
food was by gaining awareness. Once I learned
the science behind what I was eating, everything
just sort of clicked.
You go from food having the power over you, to
having the power over your food.
Fuel your body with the nutrients you know your
body needs, not just what sounds good!
If you’ve ever experienced anxiety, obsessive
thoughts, guilt, shame, or unhealthy behaviors
over food, it’s time we look at why.
Do you feel unsure what to eat?
How much to eat?
Constantly questioning if you’re “allowed” to eat
this?
Well that is when you’re looking at food
as pleasure, rather than fuel. Tracking your food
through an app may actually help relieve the
constant worry of eating too much. It might just
give you the flexibility of your food choices, while
keeping your mind at ease as you know just how
many nutrients you actually have to enjoy! Usually
it’s more than you expect!

+ Take five grounding breaths before
starting each meal and eat slowly. When you
eat while rushed and stressed, your body

FAT BURNING 101
THE
PRIMER PHASE
Prime your body to burn fat with more than just
nutrition.
Before we refine the details, we need to make sure
you have a strong foundation. Your body is likely
running on sugar right now. On top of that, your
metabolism may be slow from a low-calorie diet
and annoying amounts of cardio.
So, I have each of my clients who join the Babe
Team go through a ‘2-week primer phase.’
ESSENTIALLY, WE’RE
TRANSITIONING THEIR
BODIES FROM A SUGAR
BURNER TO A FAT
BURNER.
First we have to eliminate the foods that are
causing your body to be puffy, tired, and have
more zits than ProActive can solve. This means
gluten, starches, dairy, artificial sweeteners, etc.
You have the full list on the previous chapters
‘Your Blueprint.’
By restricting your starch intake for two weeks,
your body will start relying on fat as fuel. It’s
almost like ‘keto’ for two weeks. After the two
weeks, your blood sugar levels lower and your
body is more sensitive to insulin, meaning you
don’t need to secrete as much to get your blood
sugar to a normal range. This is a very, very good
thing.
Now this doesn’t mean you can never have
carbohydrates. Rather, we train your body to get
used to fat and prefer it as a fuel source. By
continuing to eat ‘keto’ for 80% of your meals, you
will have ultimate flexibility to have treats and a
couple drinks on the weekend.
So, moral of the story: if you want to be extra
effective and do the most, go keto-ish for two
weeks. Then, come back to the flexibility of The
Babe Way. If you don’t experience digestive issues
or have fat loss as your primary goal, then you can
start directly on The Babe Way.

CENTRAL NERVOUS
SYSTEM CNS
Coffee, work, social anxiety, CrossFit, more coffee,
being a human, Adderall, and not getting enough
sleep can make your gym efforts have virtually no
benefit...okay maybe the Adderall is a little much,
but you know who you are.
If you are in “go” mode all the time, you likely have
high cortisol levels, a fucked nervous system, and
overactive adrenal glands. Your body will also
store most of its fat in your stomach and lower
back as a result of high cortisol levels.
I know, getting shit done can be addicting, but
when your sympathetic nervous system (fight or
flight mechanism) is active, we stress our adrenal
glands. Your breath quickens, heart beats faster,
digestion slows, you don’t need to pee anymore,
your mouth dries, and you are ready to battle the
sabretooth tiger chasing us...or the 5 o’clock traffic.
On the other end of the spectrum, we have our
parasympathetic nervous system, which is our rest
and recover mechanism. Our PSNS is responsible
for slowing our heart rate, calming our breath,
digesting our food, repairing muscle, producing
hormones, and building strength.
Essentially, the more time we spend in
the PSNS, the healthier we are.
M O M O M U SCL E
I know, being Buddha can feel boring, but when
you become more mindful and less stressed, your
body is able to regulate better and thus optimize
your fat burning and muscle building potential.
Think of it as adrenalin poisoning. A little bit can
save your life. Too much and you’ll be exhausted
and unsettled, with cognitive decline, poor sleep, a
compromised immune system, and a body that
cannot repair itself.
Exercise without recovery will end in depletion,
not strength.
PSNS BENEFITS
Activating the PSNS promotes recovery.
The more time we spend in PSNS activated, the
faster we bounce back, repair damage, and gain
strength.
Restorative sleep helps. Our autonomic
balance during REM is similar to wakefulness.
During non-rapid eye movement sleep the balance
shifts from SNS to PSNS dominance, bolstering
recovery.

Eat an anti-stress diet with protein, minerals, and
other nutrients to support the PSNS. Also, reduce
stimulants and sugar that get you all hyper.
+4 BREATHING EXERCISES
+7 EXERCISE
Practice breathing exercises to feel invigorated
and refreshed. Use your stomach, diaphragm and
abs to breathe, not chest. Experiment with
different breathing counts like box breaths.
Low to moderate intensity exercise can be
restorative and beneficial if you are the daily,
cracked out CrossFit type person. Backing off the
intensity can bring more good than you might
think. More isn’t always better.
+7 SLEEP
Sleep resets your brain, body, and soul that is fed
up with this world’s small talk. Aim for at least 8
hours to support your body’s ability to recover,
repair, and perform by optimizing your hormones.

FASTING
DAMN. Not eating on purpose? What kind of slow
death is this? I used to be so afraid of fasting
because my hanger would turn me into a bitch
with a huge tension headache. However, the more
I started training my body to burn fat, the easier
fasting became and the more I enjoyed it.
What is fasting? Not eating for a certain amount of
time. Benefits include but are not limited to
developing the mental clarity of Buddha, energy
level Cardi B on, and becoming more fat adapted.
If you don’t eat for 10–16 hours, your body will tap
into its fat stores for energy, and fatty acids
(ketones) will be released into the bloodstream.
They are extremely powerful in protecting
memory, slowing disease, and being the rocketfuel energy source that has no impact on blood
sugar or insulin levels.
Since the body lacks energy after 8 hours of food
consumption, you begin to use glucose (sugar)
stored in the liver and muscles. After that has been
used up, the body turns to fat as a fuel source.
When you have reached this point, you can also
reduce cholesterol levels.
BENEFITS
+ Stabilize and balance blood sugar and insulin
levels
+ Use fat as energy
+ Detoxify your body
+ Slow disease processes
+ Increase ketones
+ Secrete endorphins
+ Reduce cholesterol levels
+ Protect memory
+ Increase brain clarity and cognition.

EAT/STOP/EAT
My favorite and recommended method.
Put yourself through a 24-hour fast to decrease
your insulin resistance. Yes, you gotta do it once
and if you’re really committed to optimal health,
once a week. This will work wonders on your
‘fat burning’ hormones, wipe out your insulin
resistance, stabilize blood sugars, and help your
body repair itself. This can seem a little
intimidating, but it can have a real impact on your
body’s hormones to simply not eat for a day.
On the days you wake up hungry, eat. On the days
you aren’t starving, just delay your first meal of the
day by a few hours. You can also skip a meal if it’s
convenient or relatively painless. This will keep
your blood sugar stable, let glycogen stores
deplete, and make fat stores be more available for
fuel. Just be sure to fill up on adequate nutrients
(protein, vegetables, healthy fats) in your other
meals to make up for the lack of eating.

8 HOUR WINDOW
Timed feeding window of 8-10 hours a day of
eating and consuming 2-3 or more meals. For
example, your eating window may be from
noon-8pm. Choose a time block that fits your

makes life more convenient.
+ Stay hydrated throughout the day with
water and calore-free drinks, like herbal
teas your grandmother sips.
+ Get productive. If you’re sitting around all
day thinking about food, you’re going to
remember this day forever. Let’s not do that.
+ If you fast for 24-hours, take a day off the
weights and rest or do some low-intensity
yoga instead.

PLANT-BASED DIET
PRIORITIES
Animal lover? Just wanting more wholesome
eating? I got you babe. I was a vegan for two
years! While I haven’t kept that a part of my
lifestyle, let’s review how plant-based diets are a
totally valid option for healthy living.
I know choosing a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle
can be a sensitive subject for some. Whatever
morals, or food choices you live by, I am here to
support you! I just want to do everything I can to
make sure you’re doing it right.
A plant-based diet has the advantage of possibly
lowering cholesterol and blood pressure. You also
eat a lot of vegetables that can provide you with
valuable micronutrients. However, some veggie
eaterscan suffer from a lack of nutrients.
While I realize you can get a lot of nutrients from a
plant-based diet, the quality of amino acids, iron,
and folic acid is difficult to do without conscious
effort.
M O M O M U SCL E
+1
PROTEIN/AMINO
ACIDS
Yes, quinoa, beans, and lentils all have protein, but
we also need to consider if the quality is sufficient
enough for the protein to be put to work! Now
remember I was talking about needing at least
2.5g of leucine per meal to ensure proper protein
synthesis and fat burning? Well plant foods have a
lower amino acid content than animals proteins.
In terms of amino acids, chicken breast is
equivalent to 6 cups of quinoa. That is a lot of
calories and volume to ingest just to get a protein
response. Instead, I recommend adding an amino
acid supplement to your meals to fill in the gaps.
Another option to consider is getting a plantbased protein power and checking the label to
make sure the amino acid profile overrides the
threshold of 2.5 of leucine. If one serving of protein
powder doesn’t fulfill that, then consider doing
more scoops until you reach the 30g of protein
and 2.5g of leucine threshold.
THE FI G HTER

MEAT
ALTERNATIVES
MMMM, TOFU.
First, eggs and cheese are a great source of
protein and fat, but if you are vegan, some meat
alternatives or plant-based proteins can still fulfill
your protein needs. All meat alternatives should be
100% organic as soy products can contain harmful
chemicals like pesticides and herbicides.
TOFU
PROS: Easily absorbs flavor from any dish.
CONS: Pretty minimal, just aim for a high
quality source.
TIPS: Try marinating extra-firm tofu and searing it
for a nice chew. Get soft tofu to blend in your
smoothies for added creamy protein.
SEITAN
Vegetarian “meat” made from wheat gluten, soy
sauce, ginger, garlic, and seaweed.
PROS: High in protein and good source of iron.
CONS: High in gluten, which a lot of us are
intolerant to and just don’t know it. Gluten can
increase”inflammation and brain fog, drain
your energy, f*ck your digestion, etc. So,
experiment without gluten for a couple weeks
and then try adding it in for answers.
EGG-HACK
TEMPEH
Fermented form of soy that is firmer and has more
grainy texture than tofu.
PROS: Texture makes it a good substitute for
fish and ground beef. High-protein and earthy
taste.
Eggs are a great source of amino acids,
healthy fats, and minerals.
Try cooking your eggs in several ways
with different oils, to vary the flavor or
add a little spice to your life. Also, try
pasture-raised eggs as those can be
denser in nutrients and taste even better.
CONS: Made from soy as well.

IRON DEFICIENT
I know we chatted about iron earlier, but if
iron-rich meat isn’t replaced with iron-rich foods, it
can cause a number of problems.
One study found roughly 40% of plant-based
women were anemic. Supplementing your diet
with beans, leafy greens, squash, tofu, eggs, and
iron-fortified cereals can improve your levels. On
top of that, including more vitamin C in your diet
will help with the absorption of iron.

VITAMIN B-12
DEFICIENT
Vitamin B is very important to our well-being.
While a lot of it can come from animal products,
adding a supplement can help a lot of vegetarians/
vegans restore their energy, digestion, brain fog,
anxiety, or depression, if experienced.
While I am not advocating against a plant-based
diet, I am just highly recommending you make
sure you are ingesting adequate levels of protein,
or amino acids, and vitamins and minerals.
Taking BCAAs and a superfood supplement can
boost your energy dramatically. While these aren’t
optimal, it is better to be well-nourished than not.

+ Go out to eat like a regular human!
+ Eat a high sugar breakfast to spike your
insulin and blood sugar levels for the day.
+ Experiment with fasting. Don’t force it. It’s not
for everyone, but you may find it works for you.
+ Only eat a piece of fish and a bite of avocado
for lunch. Add more protein & fats.

QUALITY MEAT
Chicken, wild meat, turkey, bison, venison, elk, eggs. Aim to eat grass-fed
or wild protein as the quality of it will largely control how your body reacts
to it.
BERRIES
02
03
Particularly blueberries, but raspberries, blackberries, cherries, and
strawberries make the cut as well. Berries offer the risk of seeds being stuck
in your teeth for a few hours, but they have a high content of polyphenols,
antioxidants, vitamin C, and fiber. They are shown to help reduce
inflammation, neutralize free radicals, improve insulin sensitivity, lower type-2
diabetes, reduce abdominal fat stores, lower cholesterol, and help digest and
absorb saturated fat. Soooo, what can’t they do?...marry me. Ugh...
RAW COCOA
The polyphenols in this are amazing. They lower blood pressure, help reduce
stress, lower cholesterol, increase brain activity, and help you poo poo. The
cocoa chia seed recipe is one of the best ways to get unsweetened cocoa in
your diet regularly...but yes, you can have a little dark chocolate.
AVOCADO
04
Why does everyone have to remind us that they’re a fruit? Get over it...
Anyways, these babies help lower the bad cholesterol, and by fueling your
body with healthy fats, you are more apt to burn fat over carbohydrates. By
neutralizing free radicals, they increase your mitochondria efficiency and
optimize your cells. This makes for a stronger metabolism...oooh buzz word.

COCONUT/MCT
This lil nut boosts your immunity, reduces abdominal fat, and contributes to
increasing your metabolism to burn more calories. MCT also increases your
brain clarity by providing ketones to the brain instead of sugar.

Nutrients are the building blocks to a healthy
body. Think vegetables and high quality foods.
NUTRIENTS + CALORIES = FOOD.
Now, we use FOOD to optimize your body.
The meal plans I have created are built to boost
your metabolism, optimize fat burning hormones,
and trigger protein synthesis.
Note: If you’re only eating three meals, then blend
in the remaining macronutrients into the other
meals. Example, instead of one serving of protein
each meal, have 35-40g per meal to fulfill your
daily protein needs.
- 1 serving protein = 30g
- 1 serving carb = 25g
- 1 serving fat = 12g

START THE DAY
A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A BABE.
Okay, so we’re going to get into the meal plans of what I would typically recommend. I know what you
might be thinking, I came here for eggs and salad?
But the truth is, there is science behind this information. By making sure you’re starting your day off
with healthy fats, fiber, and protein, we ensure happy hormones and gut health. You will elicit protein
synthesis which helps your cells create protein. This will thus create more lean muscle, burn more fat
and help you achieve the body that you’ve been working so hard for.
For example, something as simple as swapping your high protein cereal for a nutrient dense, slow
digesting breakfast [the daily breakfast or the Babe Berry Smoothie] will have a dramatic effect on
your blood sugar levels, reduce the insulin spike that throttles your testosterone down, help push out
bad bacteria stuck in your intestines. We are approaching food from a cellular level rather than just
“low-carb” and “good macros.”
Another note that we cover in later chapters is organ health. So when it comes to gut health and
hormone health, first getting a stool test and complete hormone panel can help uncover certain
bacteria strains that may be causing SIBO, IBS, parasitic episodes, and more.
SO - when I recommend drinking water upon waking, really drink high quality water upon waking to
help hydrate your organs and get your body ON. When I recommend Better Bitters before a meal to
help increase your gastric juices this helps prevent infection, bad bacteria that causes indigestion,
bloating + more, definitely consider it. Adding organic blueberries that has polyphenols to help
reduce free radicals aka things that make you age, cause disease and more! Adding flax seed to your
morning routine can significantly improve the state of your intestines and their ability to digest.
Digesting your food is highly important because you get more energy, leaner, less acne + clarity!
The tips and information found within this program are very thorough. The later chapters will educate
you on the details so that you can believe these tips and apply them for years to come!
Disclaimer: Make sure to consult your doctor before adding supplements into your
diet. Some of these can have interactions with medications, current health conditions
and more.

MEAL PLAN
NOTES
A WEEK IN THE LIFE OF A BABE.
The following meal plans are customized to your ideal body type, goals, and training program.
Each meal is balanced with fiber, carbs, fat + protein. Feel free to swap or repeat meals to fit your
needs. Implement intuitive fasting as you feel fit and more on fasting in the following chapters.
We aim to focus on: healthy hormones, protein + gut health. For example, our daily Babe Berry
Smoothie starts your day off perfectly as we address the three pillars to success.
Hormones:
Maca powder to support your natural testosterone, reduce PMS + boost libido.
Cod liver oil: with it’s omega-3s, it helps with mood + women with PCOS.
Spirulina: helps detoxify your liver which helps flush out fat cells.
Gut Health:
L-glutamine: is an amino acid that helps strengthen your stomach lining which helps with nutrient
absorption which thus helps with results!
Protein:
Creatine: delivers more nutrients to your muscles.
Whey protein: ingesting quality protein helps rebuild your muscle and also burn fat when eating
30g+ intake.
Collagen: helps strengthen your hair, skin, nails + gut health.
UPON WAKING
+ Drink 12 oz water (lemon optional)
+ Enjoy the Babe Berry Smoothie or the Daily Breakfast + your fav coffee or tea
+ Workout after meal 1 *or fasted if you do better without food in stomach*
+ If you’re staying at home for a while, fast until you feel hungry
AFTER DINNER
Since your carbs have been relatively low all day and you haven’t filled your body with starch,
you have the flexibility to have a some or a couple squares of dark chocolate if you feel the
craving... Or if it’s a Friday night ice cream & brownies kinda night. If not, then just keep the
blood sugar nice and low to keep burning fat.
3 OR 4 MEALS?
For most women’s + AFAB babes hunger levels and activity, I recommend eating 3 of the 4
meals a day. Just keep your protein up at 30-40g per meal. Choose intuitively and based off
your hunger levels.
Babe-Tip: Enjoying life is dope. Having some ice cream, wine, or cake is necessary. I
usually enjoy a gluten-free dessert or a pasta/burger at least 3-5xs a week. By
keeping my other meals ‘fat burning,’ I leave space for my fun foods. #flexibility

HEAL YOUR GUT
HEAL YOUR LIFE
IDEAL DAY
Note: this is a protocol I involve to help flush bad bacteria, detoxify my organs + optimize my
health. Consult a doctor before incorporating these supplements as it can cause symptoms to get
worse in some cases depending on what you’re overcoming. However, this protocol could help
your gut health immensely which will in turn help IBS, SIBO, acne, weight gain, fatigue, brain fog
+ more! Getting a stool test to identify specific bacteria strains is advised. Time stamps are only
used for order of steps.
8AM: Wake up, drink 12 oz high quality water, add a pinch of himalayan pink salt or those LMNT
packets. Drink 8 oz of cabbage juice if you’re dealing with stomach inflammation.
815AM: Morning walk, sunlight in eyes for 15 minutes. Use this time for your eat, pray, love routine.
Some enjoy journaling, meditation, or stretching. I highly recommend creating 5 wins of the day to
build a sense of direction and accomplishment.
845AM: Babe Berry Smoothie with fiber to cleanse, superfoods to detox, glutamine to restore
stomach lining + protein to build muscle/burn fat.
9AM: Enjoy coffee aiming for nut milk. Prolonging coffee until you’ve eaten and an hour into
waking will help your hormone levels stay balanced as your cortisol won’t shoot up and cause you
to store additional fat, feel sluggish later in the day and increase anxiety.
12 PM: Spray Better Bitters, 8 oz cabbage juice and/or bone broth depending on needs.
1215PM: Quality steak salad with avocado or MoMoMuscle Pancakes if you’re getting a workout in.
Additional supplements to consider depending on stomach condition: Digestive enzymes, Betaine
HCl, and more in the supplement chapters.
4PM: Muscle Me Chicken Recipe.
8PM: The Daily Salad, 1 cup bone broth and opting for a little dessert if you feel like it. I love doing
the Muscle Maker Yogurt or a gluten-free goodie I’m obsessed with for the week.
Pre-Bedtime: 1 serving of a magnesium supplement for optimal sleep and brain health.
Notes:
The four servings of 30g+ of protein ensures optimal muscle building. You can eat only 3, just be
mindful of getting 40g of protein per meal. Cabbage juice is a tool that soothes inflammation in
the stomach to improve GERD and ulcers. Note, the protein consists of high quality ingredeints
that help offer building blocks to build muscle. The above outline is an average day filled with
cortisol reducing habits, meals that elicit protein synthesis, ingredients that promote gut health,
supplements to support your natural testosterone and more! The following meal plans can be
used as variety. When it comes to carb cycling, it is not necessary for a body recomposition. So for
the most part, I would recommend following a meal plan similar to the one above and focusing on
improving your mechanics, habits, thoughts and quality of nutrition.

MACRO AIM
A question I receive is:
HOW MANY CALORIES SHOULD I BE AIMING FOR?
The thing is, everyone is different. My maintenance calories could be 1,900, while a client’s
might be 1,600.
SO HOW DO YOU FIND YOUR MAINTENANCE
CALORIES?
+1
Track your typical day of eating *you can do a few days and take the average*. This is what you’ve conditioned your body to be at maintenance for.
+2
We take those base calories and optimize the macros.
+3
Use the meal plan recipes to fit those calories and ideal macros.
+4
OR you could use the activity calculator to find what your maintenance calories SHOULD be, but isn’t always useful because your body is highly adaptable to what you feed it consistently.
Here are two different examples of athletes. On the left, is the typical 1,700 calorie cutie.
They do a lot of cardio and has a history of under eating. On the right, this athlete has a
stronger metabolism, is used to eating more food, has more muscle to feed and wants to
either gain muscle or lean out and do a body re-composition.
LOW CARB:
1,650 calories
- 130g protein
- 70g fat
- 125g carbs
LOW CARB:
1,830 calories
- 150g protein
- 70g fat
- 150g carbs
MODERATE CARB:
1,760 calories
- 130g protein
- 60g fat
- 175g carbs
MODERATE CARB:
1,925 calories
- 150g protein
- 65g fat
- 185g carbs
HIGH CARB:
1,960 calories
- 130g protein
- 60g fat
- 225-250g carbs
HIGH CARB:
2,185 calories
- 150g protein
- 65g fat
- 250g carbs
I can’t give you an exact macro key as I don’t know where your metabolic rate is, aka maintenance
calories. Track, optimize macros, and be consistent. Don’t under-eat regularly. You got this.

EATING
OUT
GUIDE
Contrary to popular belief, eating healthy at
restaurants isn’t rocket science. You just have to
be as difficult as your Aunt Sue at Christmas.
Welcome to the land of modifications. Your
server might hate you, but your body won’t. The
key to eating out is structuring your meal around
protein and vegetables. The fats are already
hiding and the carbohydrates are unnecessary.
Here are some examples of meals you can enjoy
while still burning fat... or make room for a drink
or your favorite garlic bread.
Please note, I highly recommend and support
enjoying occasional, indulgent meals. So, if you
want a regular burger and fries, then go ahead.
But if eating out is a part of your daily routine,
we have to modify things to make it fit your
goals.

MIND BODY & SOUL
LET’S GET TESTED HEHE
We’re about to deep dive into supplements. Now they are not a band-aid to your symptoms, rather a
way to supplement your healing on different aspects. I will say, in Chapter 7 I deep dive into a lot more
ways to optimize your body from the inside, out — including liver, gut and hormone health. If you are
experiencing noticeable symptoms, getting a full hormone blood test done and a gut microbiome test,
can identify a thyroid imbalance or if you have any outstanding bad bacteria, yeast and/or parasites.
Not everyone needs digestive enzymes and probiotics, however if you’re someone dealing with yeast
infections, heart burns, skin rashes, and much more — there is most likely an underlying root. By
diving deeper into the body, this may help resolve long term infections. Antibiotics can help with
bacteria overgrowth, however, when that doesn’t always work, we have to asses the organs. SIBO —
which is small intestinal bacteria overgrowth, can be producing large amounts of bad bacteria in the
body. Causing you to feel lethargic, hold excess weight, break out and a lot more serious symptoms
that you may have found no solution for.
By taking your time to understand your body and how simply: reducing stress, getting in the sun first
thing in the morning, sleeping for 8 hours, reducing gluten, adding in bone broth, delaying your coffee
for the first 90 minutes of the day, and of course, exercise, can dramatically contribute to a healthier,
elevated body. When you take that approach, you will change. You start healing things you never
thought you would. Your mind elevates to a higher frequency where joy and gratitude is found. It is
truly a much deeper lifestyle approach we need to apply to our ‘fitness journey.’ My goal is for you to
pay attention and listen to your body, while using science, food and mindfulness to restore it. With
that said, let’s talk about some crucial supplements and ingredients that have dramatically improve
my quality of life and can do that for you.
Pro-Tip: By learning more about neuroscience, such as Joe Dispenza and Andrew Huberman, you can
get in control of your life, self-esteem, anxiety. I know for me, anxiety and ‘being hard on myself’ have
brought me to some dark places. By rewiring your brain (yes, it’s a process) something will begin to
click. Your energy becomes more pure, your intuition triples, you become so much more involved in
your own life that you will be so happy you challenged yourself to remove toxic people, irritations, etc
and add in mindful, ground practices that can change you from the inside, out.

MY TOP 7
SUPPLEMENTS
+ L-GLUTAMINE
A natural amino acid in an unflavored powder. 10g
per day for a month, then decrease to 5g. The
easiest way is to blend in a smoothie. This will
increase the integrity of your gut lining and
prevent any toxins from entering the bloodstream,
which will reduce inflammation and help boost
your energy and immune system. It will also
increase your nutrient absorption to help you build
muscle.
+ PROTEIN POWDER
Getting at least 30g of protein per sitting + 2.5g of
leucine is crucial for fat burning progress. I
recommend grass-fed whey, plant protein or egg
white protein depending on what your stomach
tolerates.
+ CREATINE
MONOHYDRATE
Highly recommended for plant-based clients or
those wanting a strong physique. Unflavored, 5g a
day will help supply more energy and nutrients to
your muscles so they can work hard and grow. It
is simply a compound found in protein and isn’t
anything serious or too ‘bro’. No side effects, just
ATP (energy) into your muscles. If you feel bloated
or you’re holding water, it is your muscles storing
nutrients and water. You can easily reduce this
bloat by getting your sweat on — nothing to be
concerned about.
+ PERUVIAN MACA
POWDER CAPSULES
This is a natural herb to support your reproductive
system (sex drive and hormone levels) and
prevent oestrogen dominance, which can cause
weight gain and fatigue. It is also very helpful for
easing any menstrual/hormonal pain.
or imbalances. 500-750mg a day.
+ PROBIOTIC
This is optional depending on gut issues. Reduce
inflammation first through an elimination diet then
see if you need additional support. Aim for a
probiotic with at least 50 billion CFU.
+ DIM
Ooooh, derived from cruciferous vegetables and
helps your estrogen metabolism. Say, what? If you
struggle with acne, PMS symptoms or just want to
help flush out unwanted 16-hydroxy estrogen, this
is a lifesaver.
+ COLLAGEN POWDER
Love this supplement! Great for bone, brain, gut,
skin, muscle, and heart health! What can’t it do?
10g daily.

MY DAILY SUPPLEMENTS FOR HORMONE
HEALTH & GUT SUPPORT.
M O M O M U SCL E
THE FI G HTER
BONUS FOR GUT
HEALTH
+ FLAXSEED
+ BONE BROTH
This lil seed is rich in omega-3, 95% fiber and
helps move through your intestines like glue to
bind to bad bacteria and promote the growth of
good bacteria. Start slowly with 1 tsp and
gradually increase to 1 TBSP if your stomach
allows.
Okay, this isn’t really a supplement but OMG. I am
obsessed. I’ve been drinking the Kettle & Fire
Chicken or Beef Bone Broth since recovering from
a parasite. It helps improve your stomach lining to
support healing a leaky gut and decrease
inflammatory bad bacteria. ALSO, this yummy cup
of broth has 10g of protein per cup! So I
recommend having at least two cups a day with
meals to help increase your digestion, immunity,
and add more protein to your diet. Feel free to
make this at home if you want a Martha Stewart
moment.
+ CABBAGE JUICE
Wow. Okay, so this little bugga can help with
severe stomach issues such as IBS, celiacs,
bloating and more. It works to reduce
inflammation in the stomach, improve . While it
won’t heal the underlying cause, it supplies
glutathione - a powerful antioxidant to detoxify
the liver. The more I learn about bio-hacking, the
more I understand how impactful a heathy liver is.
+ BETTER BITTERS
I don’t know about you, but at some point in our
life we experience bloating, heart burn and/or
cramping. This can be caused by weak stomach
acids. Adding in a spray of bitters on your tongue
helps your stomach produce stronger acids to
help digest your food better. This leads to better
absorption of nutrients, natural detoxification of
the liver, and — thanks to the gut-brain connection
— bitters can even have a positive effect on stress.
+ DIGESTIVE ENZYMES
Heh? I know, but is it really needed?!? It’s just
crazy to me how we hear about probiotics, DE,
bone broth, etc. It doesn’t become essential until
you NEED it. So, this supplement can dramatically
improve your bodies ability to digest.
+ CHIA SEEDS
Again, not a supplement but wow. Does Mother
Nature give us ingredients to heal our bodies. This
omega-3 packed bead helps get into the grooves
of your intestines to move any toxic waste that
may be stuck in that tummy. Sometimes, we don’t
need to overcomplicate with supplements, but
focus on REAL food. Also note, the Chia Seed
Pudding recipe found in this book is, well yes,
AMAZING and now you can eat it knowing it’s
helping move things through.

SUPPLEMENTS TO YOUR PROTOCOL.

LET’S TALK ABOUT IT
Let’s talk about why starting your morning off with this smoothie can dramatically increase
health beyond the whole calories in/calories out thought process. Here is a brief breakdown
of why the Babe Berry Smoothie can change your life.
Spirulina/wheatgrass: liver health, think detox. It helps detox fat cells from liver and body. A
fatty liver = a fatty body.
Maca: sex drive, supports testosterone, less PMS. I found this blend called Natural Female
Aphrodisiac linked on the supplement list that is potent! It’s all about quality here.
Glutamine: strengthen stomach lining so no leaky gut. Less acne. More food absorption aka
better results!
Collagen: hair, skin, nails and gut health.
Whey protein: amino acids and protein to burn fat.
Creatine: amino acids to build muscle and FEED your muscles. More nutrients, more results.
Cocoa powder: antioxidant to help reduce stress aka stomach fat.
Blueberries: antioxidant to help reduce stress aka stomach fat.
Cod liver: hormone health to help with cellular communication and function so your hair,
hormones, mood and gut is happy.
Nut butter: to help slow the digestion of the sugar + nutrients.
As far as protein powder quality goes, that is important because you want to choose
something you ENJOY. I decided to partner with 1stPhorm purely because of the taste of their
protein powders made it near impossible to want to skip my daily smoothie. I love their
Natural Phormula 1 and Fruit’d Loop Phormula 1 lines as well as their Plant-Based Proteins.

THAI
BEEF
BASIL
+ Serves 2-3
+ Prep time: 15 minutes
+ Total time: 55 minutes
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Place a large sauté pan ove medium-high heat,
add ghee. Once pan is very hot, space out some
of the meat in the pan making sure not to crowd
it, and sear until browned on both sides, about 2
minutes per side depending on the thickness.
It’s very important not to crowd the pan here
because you want to get a crispy crust on the
meat. Once meat is browned, set aside and
continue with the rest of the meat until it is all
cooked.
2. Add a little more ghee to the pan then add the
bell pepper, onion and garlic and sauté until
peppers are soft and onions are translucent,
scraping the brown bits from the bottom of the
pan, about 10 minutes.
3. Add the coconut aminos, fish sauce and honey
to the pan with the pepper and onions and let
cook down over a high heat for about 5-8
minutes. Once slightly reduced, add the beef
back to the pan along with the Thai basil leaves
and mix. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until basil is soft
and wilted.
4. Garnish with cilantro on top!
Babe-Tip:
Red meat adds great variety to your
diet with its rich amino acid and iron
content.
