1. Gut-Friendly Breakfast
Stratus enjoys healthy, gut-friendly foods for breakfast. “We eat mostly organic, unprocessed foods and we don’t have dairy on the regular (as in we don’t drink cow’s milk, but we are okay to an ice cream cone once in a while!),” she says. “Breakfasts are usually any of the following: eggs, sprouted bread, nut butters, oatmeal, and non-dairy yogurt.”
2. Keep a Food Journal
Stratus’ advice for anyone wanting to stay on top of their diet is to keep a nutrition journal. “It’s a great way to help you realize what’s working in your diet and it keeps you accountable,” she says. “It’s the one tool that I always recommend to people who are looking to start making changes in their eating habits. I’ve used one consistently for more than 10 years, starting back in my fitness days. Recording everything will give you the best chance to get fit and eat more nuTRISHionally — pun intended!”
3. Protein and Grains

Stratus enjoys protein, grains, and vegetables for lunch and dinner. “Lunches and dinners include lean proteins like chicken, grass-fed beef and fish – we usually eat fish 2-3 times a week, quinoa is the favorite grain around here and lots of veggies,” she says. “Some of my staples for snacks are vegan protein powder, hemp seeds, all nuts and fruit and we use coconut oil, grass-fed butter, and avocado oil to cook our food. Pretty simple, and clean and that allows us to have a cheat here and there with NO guilt! We look forward to our pizza nights and burger nights out.”
4. Working Out Through Pregnancy
Stratus worked out throughout her pregnancy and highly recommends it. “I cannot stress enough the importance of eating well and exercising throughout your pregnancy,” she says. “You have total control to create an environment that is nourishing for your baby. Be as educated as you can about the whole process. It helps when you know what to expect and it will allow you to cope with all of it better.”
5. Yoga Sessions
When Stratus is not training for the ring, she enjoys regular yoga sessions. “I have a 20 minute yoga routine which is derived from the style of yoga I designed (Stratusphere Yoga), which has calisthenics and strength moves incorporated into a yoga flow, so you get the best of both worlds,” she says. “I do this every day – I like it as a way to set my intention with my meditation and also if I don’t get a run or outside training session in, I’m still covered.”
