Toki Tsuzuki
Capacity Strategy
Toki — As a full on LEO, the most Leo ever known, you are meant to experience the warmth and glow of life with being seen. Leo is ruled by the Sun. Any shame that is around being seen and your fullest expression of that will start to take root in patterns that will suffocate your Body, Mind and Spiritual Capacity. Expansion will only happen when the pattern is truly re-written rather than shifted.
A REALM Capacity Strategy is meant to meet you and see you where you are so that you can grow your capacity in your full realm of being Toki. What follows is a set of rhythms and nourishment ideas designed to meet you and shine a light on you: a young woman living transitorily in Australia, climbing hard, moving her body well, and quietly longing for more Leo Sun and warmth in her days.
The binge eating is not a willpower failure. It is a signal. Food has become the loudest source of joy and sensation in a life that hasn't yet found its full community. The prescription here is not less food — it is more connection: to people, to joy, to your own body.
Your strongest window. Low energy, calm, no alarm. Protect this.
| Time | Rhythm | Nourishment | Intention |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6:00–7:00am | Wake with the sun No alarm |
Warm lemon water + pinch sea salt or trace mineral drops | Ground before the world enters. Let the body open slowly. |
| 7:00–8:00am | Yin yoga + Meditation 15–20 min each |
Turmeric tea after breakfast — not before | Yin holds ground the nervous system before the day activates. |
| 8:00–9:00am | Breakfast — sit down, no screens Pause before eating |
Fiber first → Fat + Protein → Carbs last. One breath. Name what's on your plate. | This is sacred time. You are feeding a strong, capable body. |
| 9:00–12:00pm | Work or creative project | Filtered water + mineral drops throughout. Handful of nuts if hungry. | Your sharpest mental window — produce, create. The Leo in you thrives when making something. |
Boredom and binging peak here. This window needs anchors — not willpower.
| Time | Rhythm | Nourishment | Intention |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12:00–1:00pm | Lunch — eat with someone |
If alone: pause, look at your food, say thank you to each ingredient. Coconut water to drink. | Connection heals the binge. Food eaten in joy is medicine. |
| 1:00–3:00pm | Dance freely — 20–30 min Non-negotiable |
Intentional snack at 2–3pm: avocado + rice crackers, or dates + dark chocolate + almonds. | Dance regulates afternoon cortisol and fills the gap that drives binging. Free play is medicine. |
| 3:00–5:00pm | Connection window |
Pre-climbing snack 60–90 min before: eggs + avocado OR ghee rice + lentils. | Build your village one small moment at a time. Music: acoustic, folk, heart frequency. |
Good habits come easily in the evening. Protect the routine you already have.
| Time | Rhythm | Nourishment | Intention |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5:00–7:00pm | Climbing gym |
Say hi to one person. Cheer someone's send loudly. Hydrate well during. | You don't have to initiate — just be present and open. Invitations come to those who show up. |
| 7:00–7:30pm | Bike home + cleansing ritual Shake at the door |
Chamomile or ashwagandha tea. Sage or palo santo if feeling heavy. | Your open crown chakra absorbs others' energy. The shake physically resets your nervous system. |
| 7:30–8:30pm | Dinner — light a candle No screens |
Warm, grounding, fat-rich. Turmeric tea with goat or whole milk after. Probiotic with dinner. | Eat slowly. Taste everything. Tonight's peace is tomorrow's clarity. |
| 8:30–9:30pm | Journal — moment of joy + affirmations | Write one moment of joy from today. Close with affirmations. | What you record, you remember. What you affirm, you become. |
| 9:30pm | Sleep WiFi off |
No overhead lighting after dark. Cotton underwear, linen sheets. Guided breath to close. | Rest is not laziness. Rest is how lions recharge. |
Small changes with significant impact. The B12 switch alone may reduce restlessness.
| Supplement | Timing | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Trace Mineral Drops Add now |
Morning water + every glass all day | Critical for low blood pressure. Replenishes minerals depleted by past fasting and liver flushes. |
| B Complex Switch from B12 |
Morning, with breakfast | You get B12 from nutritional yeast already. Too much isolated B12 amplifies anxiety. B complex is gentler and full-spectrum. |
| Healthy Mood (saffron, GABA, 5-HTP, folate, mag, zinc) Under reviewStop after 4 weeks |
Morning, with food — never before | 5-HTP bypasses the normal rate of serotonin production. Your body usually controls how much serotonin it makes — 5-HTP essentially overrides that governor. Short-term this is useful. Long-term, you risk pushing serotonin too high. You also risk downregulation — your receptors adapt and stop listening, becoming less responsive over time. |
| Probiotic Move to evening |
With or after dinner | Evening timing supports gut microbiome repair overnight when digestive activity slows. |
| Magnesium Glycinate Consider adding |
Before bed | Calms nervous system, deepens sleep, supports blood sugar regulation overnight. |

Meal Suggestions
Breakfast
Morning · Fiber first → Fat & Protein → Carbs last · blood sugar anchor · no screens
Protein + fat before carbs keeps insulin flat all morning. You already noticed you feel better switching from oats — this is why. Ghee is your cooking fat from now on; olive oil goes on cold.
Coconut yogurt gives you fat + live cultures without the phytoestrogen load of soy. Seeds deliver zinc, magnesium and essential fats that directly support mood and hormone balance.
Lentils replace the soy you've been relying on — same protein satisfaction without phytoestrogen accumulation. Well-cooked and spiced, they're warming and easy on digestion.
Meal Suggestions
Lunch
Midday · Eat with someone 3× per week · largest meal of the day · pause before eating
Chickpeas are a phytoestrogen-safe protein alternative to tofu. Tahini adds sesame fats that support hormone metabolism. Squash goes last on the plate.
Simple, fast, easy to make for two. This is the meal to cook for a climbing gym friend. Food made for others is food eaten with joy.
Tempeh is fermented soy — far less phytoestrogen than tofu, plus it feeds gut flora. Max 2× per week. ACV on salad before eating slows glucose absorption from the potato.
Meal Suggestions
Afternoon Snack
1:00–3:00pm · Your hardest window · binge prevention · intentional nourishment
A fat-dominant snack at 2–3pm stabilises the afternoon blood sugar dip that triggers unconscious eating. This is your binge prevention window — fat is the medicine here.
This is intentional dessert — not a binge. A defined, pleasurable sweet moment removes the all-or-nothing charge from sweet food. Eat it at the table. Enjoy it fully.
When the craving feels sweet but not hunger, this satisfies it while remineralising you. Low blood pressure means you lose electrolytes faster than most people.
Meal Suggestions
Dinner
Evening · Warm & grounding · light a candle · no screens · turmeric tea after
Warm soup grounds the nervous system before sleep. Ghee on top adds the fat your brain needs for overnight repair. Your most common dinner — easy to make, deeply nourishing.
This is dinner to make for someone else. Impressive, cheap, vegetarian, one pan. Use this as your hosting dinner — it draws people to your table and transforms your relationship with food.
Blended squash soup is naturally sweet — satisfies any residual evening craving without a spike. Beans add protein and resistant starch that feeds gut microbiome overnight.
Everything above serves one deeper purpose: helping you build a life rich enough that food stops needing to be the main event.
When you eat with people three times a week, dance in your kitchen in the afternoon, bike home slowly, shake off the day at the door, and cook a meal with an avocado in ghee — you are not following rules. You are choosing to be alive in your own story.
You are a Leo. You are meant to be seen, to radiate, to bring warmth into every room. The shame you carry around food is borrowed. You get to put it down now.
