Meg Bowman is a licensed nutritionist and educator specializing in the powerful intersection of mental health and nutrition. She is the co-founder of Nutrition Hive, a functional group nutrition practice supporting clients navigating mental health, hormone and gastrointestinal conditions.

Meg is also the author of This Is Your Body on Trauma: How to Nourish Safety, Resilience, and Connection with Polyvagal-Informed Nutrition, which explores how nutrition can be used as a tool for trauma recovery and nervous system regulation.

We discuss topics including:

• How the nervous system responds to threat and safety (polyvagal theory)

• Understanding mental health safety and creating "tool kits" for oneself

• The Polyvagal Ladder

• The Sympathetic Nervous System and Parasympathetic responses

• A Body that doesn't feel safe after trauma

• Your ventral experience and how it relates to eating
