My Symptom check-in

POTS: I had dizziness when I stood up and my heart rate jumped fast. I wanted something salty and high-protein that would not sit heavy. I salted the chicken and the guac.

Vestibular migraine: No vestibular migraine symptoms today - no vertigo, no nausea, no light sensitivity.

Lupus: No lupus symptoms today - no joint pain or stiffness. I just wanted a quick meal.

Condition

Works?

Why

POTS

Yes

Salt + protein + fat supports steadier energy and blood volume goals

Vestibular migraine

Conditionally

Onion can trigger some people; guac is usually fine but keep it simple if you are sensitive

Lupus

Yes

Whole-food, low processing; easy prep

Ingredients (1 bowl)

  • 1 to 1.5 cups shredded chicken (rotisserie works)

  • 1/2 avocado, mashed (or 1/3 cup guacamole)

  • 2 to 3 tbsp finely chopped red onion

  • Handful of cilantro, chopped

  • Salt and pepper

Optional add-ons (choose based on tolerance):

  • Lime (skip if migraine-triggering)

  • Greek yogurt or sour cream

  • Rice or tortilla chips if you need carbs


Steps

  1. Add shredded chicken to a bowl.

  2. Top with guac, red onion, and cilantro.

  3. Salt aggressively if you are targeting POTS support. Add pepper if tolerated.

  4. Eat as-is, or add rice/chips if you need a carb.
