My 2-Step Stack for Smart Training: Hydration, Muscle Repair, and Recovery
As an athlete, I used to push my body with zero support—no fuel, no hydration, no recovery. I thought strength came from sheer willpower, my body broke down in ways I couldn’t control. Missing periods, PCOS + infertility diagnosis, illness… I hit a wall.
I’m doing things differently now.
“I want to run this race with perseverence. Not aimlessly. I want to be strong... to serve well.”
STEP 1: THE PRE-POST-DURING BEVERAGE
When I began rebuilding strength from the inside out, I realized it wasn’t about a quick fix—it’s about strategic nourishment.
I started with 2 simple, clean additions to my filtered water, supporting energy, muscle repair, and hormonal balance.
✅ Essential Amino Acids
One tiny scoop equals the muscle-building effect of 40g of whey protein. Amazing for healing, daily energy, or post-workout recovery.

✅ Minerals & Chill
Because plain water isn’t enough! These trace minerals help your cells absorb hydration, rebuild energy, and balance your adrenals.
To 2 cups of room temperature filtered water, I add:
1 scoop @Bewellbykelly Essential Amino Acids*
(plant-based, fermented, meticulously sourced from Japan)
Use code MUMWITHABUN for $10 off!1 pack of this clean, to-go electrolyte mix along with the amino acids, and I sip on this before, during, and after my workouts. It’s a game-changer.

I’ve felt the difference from properly hydrating & fueling pre/during/post workout—and I know other women/mums can too.
STEP 2:💡legit RED LIGHT THERAPY
The LumeBox Red Light Therapy (RLT) Device is my entire family’s tried & true, “go-to” tool for real recovery. It's a portable RLT device that supports:
✅ Muscle soreness & joint pain
✅ Inflammation & getting rid of mastitis
✅ Digestion & gut health
✅ Skin conditions like eczema
✅ Neck & shoulder tension
✅ Nervous system regulation & sleep
How does it work?
by stimulating cellular repair— healing happens faster, deeper, and more naturally.
I literally could not walk, sit, or squat for the first week of getting back to the gym until I started implementing daily RLT sessions using my LumeBox.
I’ve used this LumeBox Red Light daily after workouts, to overcome mastitis (inflammation in the breasts) several times, to help my kids recover faster from eczema flare-ups, and at night before sleep to help my kids & me wind down, etc.
Here’s how to use it depending on what you’re trying to get out of it!
