Have you ever had a breakfast that left you feeling sluggish and bloated, ruining your morning routine? Let me tell you a small story that may resonate with you.
One morning, I was in a rush and grabbed a quick breakfast sandwich from a popular fast-food chain. I thought I was being clever by choosing a bagel instead of a croissant, but little did I know that the sandwich was loaded with artificial ingredients and preservatives.
As I drove to work, I felt my stomach churning and noticed my energy levels dropping. By the time I reached my office, I was feeling downright miserable.
That’s when I realized that starting your day with the proper breakfast is crucial for your overall health and well-being. And that’s precisely why I want to talk to you about breakfast’s unique and fascinating aspects, and how it can set the tone for your entire day.
Let’s start with a simple breakfast quiz: Which is healthier – an omelet made only with egg whites or one made with whole eggs? The answer may surprise you.
Egg whites are an excellent source of protein, but whole eggs contain the vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats your body needs. You read that correctly – your body needs healthy fats, and your brain runs on them.
However, not all eggs are created equal. Most eggs come from industrial-farmed chickens fed an artificial corn, soy, and grain diet. These foods are loaded with spiky damaging proteins called lectins that get passed along in their eggs.
Lectins can wreak havoc on your digestive system, leading to weight gain, bloating, cramping, cravings for sweets and carbs, and occasional constipation or diarrhea. That’s why I recommend using whole eggs from pasture-raised chickens.
Pasture-raised chickens eat a natural grass seed and bug diet free from harmful additives and chemicals. Not only are their eggs healthier, but they’re also more sustainable and ethically sourced.
Now, onto the big question – should breakfast be sweet or savory? The answer may surprise you yet again.
A sour breakfast may be the way to go. Traditional Korean breakfasts are heavy on kimchi, a spicy fermented cabbage dish. In Japan, people love to start their day with pickled radish and natto or fermented soybeans. These sour, fermented foods are excellent sources of probiotics, the good gut bugs that help with digestion, energy levels, and mental clarity.
While yogurt may be the only sour food on most American breakfast menus, yogurts are loaded with sugar and harmful additives. That’s why it’s better to go for probiotic-rich foods like kimchi and natto. And if you’re looking for prebiotics, add fiber-rich fruits and vegetables to your meal.
In conclusion, breakfast is an integral part of your daily routine, and it’s essential to start your day with a meal that energizes you and keeps you healthy. So, the next time you’re looking for a quick fix, consider opting for whole eggs from pasture-raised chickens and probiotic-rich sour foods like kimchi and natto. Your gut (and your body) will thank you for it.

For decades, the food industries have wanted you to believe if you skip breakfast, you might put on weight or lack energy in the afternoon. But, truth be known – health research has shown missing a bagel or a bowl of cornflakes first thing in the morning doesn’t lead to putting on weight, health concerns, or fatigue.
Think about it: our ancestors never rolled out of bed to a bowl of cereal. They had to go out and hunt or forage for it first—that probably meant more like their first meal was late morning or lunchtime.
Now, the purpose of breakfast is to break the fast, right? And that should happen when your body tells you it’s hungry.
Breakfast is NOT the most important meal of the day. Gundry is usually big on skipping breakfast. That being said, many people love their breakfast! So if you are going to eat breakfast, it should be healthy! Gundry breaks down breakfast and suggests the best types of foods your plate should be full of.
So, my advice – if you’re hungry, eat breakfast. If you’re not, wait until you’re hungry.
