Are you struggling with anxiety? If so, you're not alone, it's a common symptom as we head towards menopause. It may seem preposterous to say that diet influences how we feel; but think about it: In the cold, hard light of science, feelings are chemistry! Don't get me wrong; I’m not saying that diet will cure an anxiety disorder. However, if we try and fuel our bodies with poor-quality food that does not provide the building blocks of the hormones and catalysts our brain chemistry requires, we’ll have a much harder time overcoming mental health issues. So, what are these nutrients our body needs, particularly when we are anxious? It's all in this blog post -
Feeling Anxious? Here are the top 3 nutrients you need in your diet TODAY!

Ever found yourself in the grip of emotional eating, where the call of chocolate seems to echo the comforting voice of love and care we've known since childhood? 🍫💕 …Or perhaps caught in the cycle of compulsive eating, feeling utterly out of control when cravings overshadow your desire for health? 𝗬𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗲. And your journey to empowered eating is just round the corner. You may think that willpower is the key to overcoming binge eating, to resisting the pull of sweets and treats. 🙅🏻♀️ … Or that you need a diet of complete restriction to finally lose the weight and banish the cravings. 😩 But what if I told you that the secret lies NOT in resisting and restricting, but in understanding? And in recognising that our cravings often highlight needs far beyond physical hunger? 😯🤔 My next masterclass on 𝗪𝗲𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝟮𝟴𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝗳 𝗙𝗲𝗯𝗿𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘆 focuses on what I like to call "empowered eating". I will show you how to pave your way out of emotional eating and yoyo dieting with understanding, NOT deprivation when it comes to food. This is an introduction to a way of eating and food psychology that will leave you feeling empowered over your own food choices and therefore, your health. 🙌🏽💃🏼 Here is the link, and the key, to finally feeling in control over your food choices and not at the mercy of your cravings: https://lnkd.in/eyHEuPKv

3 effective ways to help patients overcoming Emotional Eating Emotional eating is a common phenomenon where individuals turn to food to cope with their emotions, often resulting in weight gain and other negative health consequences. Obesity and emotional eating often go hand in hand, forming a vicious cycle that can be challenging to break. Understanding Emotional Eating: Emotional eating is driven by the desire to soothe or suppress negative emotions such as stress, sadness, boredom, or loneliness. Food becomes a source of comfort and distraction, temporarily alleviating these emotions. Unfortunately, it is only a temporary solution that can lead to guilt, weight gain, and a cycle of emotional eating. 1. Mindful Eating: Promote mindful eating practices to your clients. Encourage them to slow down, savor each bite, and pay attention to their body's hunger and fullness cues. Mindful eating helps individuals reconnect with their bodies, fostering a healthier relationship with food. 2. Explore Alternative Coping Mechanisms: Help your clients discover alternative ways to cope with their emotions that do not involve food. This could include engaging in physical activity, practicing deep breathing exercises, journaling, or seeking social support. By exploring a range of coping mechanisms, individuals can find healthier outlets for their emotions. 3. Develop Long-Term Behavior Change: Empower your clients to set achievable goals and develop sustainable behavior change strategies. Help them create personalized action plans that include specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals. Regularly assess progress and provide ongoing support to keep them motivated. #raisingawareness #clinicalnutrition #healthcoaching #holisticwellness #behaviourchange #emotionaleating #patientempowerment

I often advise people not to follow the masses because most people are eating processed foods laden with refined sugar and all sorts of chemicals and preservatives, essentially on the treadmill to disease and low quality of life. So why would you want to follow those people? If your unhealthy food addictions have you running to eat processed foods or foods you know aren't good for you when you're around folks who are doing the same, then you really need the support of a coach. Firstly, if you are around people who are triggering you to eat substances that you know are not good for you, that needs to be resolved. Secondly, if you're telling others not to eat those things and then you're eating them yourself, you have just shown yourself to be a hypocrite by eating those things. How do you come back from that? You're showing yourself to not be in alignment with your own values. So you need to work on yourself first before you can help spread the message to others to live healthy lifestyles, eat clean, and treat their bodies well. It doesn't really serve us to fit in with the crowd when the crowd is walking towards disease. If you don't want that for yourself, you need to step up into healthy leadership.

We all know that quality food is important to maintain good health, and the brain is no exception; when we nourish our bodies, we nourish our minds. There are obvious links between good nutrition and mental health: when we eat healthy and balanced meals we tend to sleep better and have more energy. However, biologists have recently discovered some more direct connections between the two. In fact, health researchers at Harvard have begun to refer to the importance of what is known as the ‘gut-brain connection’ to overall mental well-being in humans. The gut - also known as the gastrointestinal (GI) system - and the brain are intimately connected, meaning that when the GI system is upset, the brain reacts. Studies have shown that a troubled intestine can cause symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Some researchers even refer to the gut as the ‘second brain.’ Our relationship to food is often complicated by daily pressures and societal expectations, and it isn’t always easy to eat healthy food regularly. Although treatment for many mental health conditions is often complex, a nutritious diet and healthy gut is a good place to start! #braingutconnection #wellbeing #mentalhealth

It's not just a coincidence—science proves the link between your diet and mental health. Recent studies highlight the powerful gut-brain connection, emphasizing the role of a diverse gut microbiome in reducing depression and anxiety.

✨ LIFE OR DEATH☠️ There is one activity that you do everyday that has the most impact on your body. Can you guess what that activity is? 🌯IT IS EATING!🥗 What you eat and how much and how often you eat can affect your body more than a workout or reading or anything else you do daily like showering or brushing your teeth even!! We are told to see a dentist twice a year because gum health and teeth health can affect your overall health so much yet no one is told to see a dietitian, nutritionist, or health coach unless their health is at a life or death point. We are not fully educated on what we eat or how to or really anything food related and yet it is the one thing that can either give you life or literally kill you. ⁉️Did you know the western diet (the diet here in the US) is the WORST diet or nutritional lifestyle out of them all? It is horrible for us and is the root of so many of our health problems! ⁉️Did you know that most health issues can be corrected or fully solved and changed just by changing what you eat? Depression, anxiety, ADHD, and so many other things can all be controlled or corrected just by what you eat. 🎉I am starting a new series called✨ life over death☠️ where we will talk about food A LOT as in DAILY and we will talk about faith too of course. My mission with this series is to help you have life over death! But let’s start the series with a simple question. What are you eating today? #healthtips #didyouknow #eatingisimportant #healthyfood #foodie #lifeoverdeath #christianhealthcoach #healthcoach #liveyourbestlife

📣 New Blog Alert! Does “healthy” feel like a forbidden word, especially after joining diet culture rebellion? Does the line between dieting and eating for wellbeing feel blurred? In Part One of this “Reclaiming Health” series, we discuss the nuance of “healthy” in the eating disorder recovery community, and ponder if diet culture rebellion may lead some astray in their own recovery and interoception. In Part Two, titled “A Healthy Lifestyle without ED at the Helm”, we discuss how to strengthen our inner protective and nurturing mechanisms so that we can respond appropriately to diet culture messaging AND honor our health on our terms. Click below to access Part One, which is followed by Part Two. We had a lot to say, so we split it in two! If anything resonates or you have a similar experience or relationship with redefining health on a personal level in recovery, let us know, we’d love to hear it. #recovery #eatingdisorderrecovery #dietculture #dietculturedropout #honoryourhealth https://lnkd.in/gACf3m9E
