As someone who was recently diagnosed with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, and has spent the last almost thirty years of my life without any dietary restrictions, you can imagine how hard it is now to suddenly become ill to foods I had been enjoying my whole life. My journey to wellness lead me to create each and every one of these recipes featured on Damngoodthyme.

With the diagnosis of MCAS came hormonal imbalances, leading to hypothyroidism and PCOS. What I was unaware of at the time of these diagnoses, was that diet would play the biggest role in helping me achieve remission and lose the weight gained from all of the inflammation my body was under. I began to prioritize eating high protein meals to help with blood sugar imbalances.

While working from home has its benefits, it always seems as though meal times creeps up on me. I often find myself unprepared and in a hurry trying to figure out what to throw together. Between feeding the dogs, and ad-hoc meetings, before I know it lunch time rolls around. One of the most important things with PCOS and regulating my blood sugar was ensuring I have a breakfast that is high in protein and fiber to balance my blood sugar for the day. After removing all dairy from my diet, I still was able to reap the benefits of a high protein Greek yogurt like Kite Hill's Greek Style Yogurt.

My yogurt bowls are typically topped off with some frozen fruit (in this case strawberries), and some nuts/or seeds. I'd love to know what your favorite add ins are- drop them below!
