Once I started to connect the dots that the sympathetic nervous system plays a prominent role in food impulses and behaviors, I began teaching everyone I work with how to identify when their sympathetic nervous system is activated. 

This isn't something we're often taught as a kid and would be a game changer to learn earlier on in life. You may just be learning this language of your body and nervous system now though and feel exhausted from living in sympathetic nervous system dominance. And your bodily depletion makes so much sense. 

In this week's episode, I chat with Dr. Scott Sherr, Board Certified Internal Medicine Physician, about: 

• Understanding the sympathetic nervous system 
• The Sympathetic Spiral of Doom
• Mitochondrial health and its impact
• The connection between trauma and eating behaviors
• Integrating nutrition in trauma work
• Addressing long term health challenges
• Practical steps to support your mitochondrial health for improved regulation and metabolic signaling

Please remember that your food behaviors can be bodily communication of your nervous system state. 

If you have any insights from this episode, email me anytime, and talk to you more soon! 

With Compassion and Empathy,
