[Ep. 299] The Connection Between Processed Foods & Trauma
Description
Why do we crave junk food when we’re stressed? In this episode, Luis explores how trauma and chronic stress deplete the body, driving us toward processed foods for quick hits of serotonin and temporary relief. He explains the three categories of foods—stimulants, depressants, and balancers—how each affects our emotional state, and why balancing foods are essential for true regulation.
Luis also shares his top three nutrition tips for nervous system balance and reads an excerpt from his upcoming book Food Therapy.
