Happy Satiated Saturday! 

As many of you know, I started my PhD in somatic psychology in September and just completed my first semester. 🎉

While I initially wanted to research all eating disorders (which may still happen), I decided this first semester to focus on research surrounding binge eating disorders. 

Going through graduate school almost 15 years ago, I was often confused about why there was not a single class on nutrition. Wouldn't that be something that would be important for a therapist to at least know the basics when exploring any issue someone is navigating? How a person eats can contribute to depression, anxiety, and overall mood. 

When recovering from food struggles, a balance must be explored between discovering what foods feel best in your body, while not making it too important that the anxiety with food perpetuates. 

In this week's episode, I chat with Timothy Frie, Neuronutritionist, nutritional neuroscience researcher, and founder of the Georgia Center for Neuronutrition about: 

• The impact of food on mental and emotional health
• The link between trauma and nutrition
• How healing from trauma needs to include both nutritional and emotional support
• Navigating the unknowns in nutrition
• The diet industry
• Questions you can journal about to raise awareness of how your current relationship with food was created
