May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and this episode with functional medicine trained health coach Erin Kerry is kicking it off with what your body really needs.

Your body needs to feel safe to heal and thrive. That’s true for emotional safety, and it’s absolutely true for physiological safety. Unfortunately, due to fancy food marketing and years of junk science twisted to benefit the food companies, we have commonly consumed foods that are keeping your body in an unsafe, stressed out state. We have strayed so far from food that our great-grandparents ate that our bodies are sounding the alarm on every level - yet we keep trying the newest things.

This a list of the five "health imposters" that Erin believes are creating long-term chaos in the body's ability to function optimally - from a cellular level to neurotransmitter level to every area in between. These five trends masquerading as health could be extremely destructive, especially when habitual.

Erin follows that list up with five things that could be beneficial for just about everyone’s mental health. There is hope!
