Food Therapy: Conscious Eating to Navigate Anxiety, Stress, and Trauma

USA TODAY Bestseller!

Filled with accessible strategies to help you heal from within through the foods you eat, FOOD THERAPY explores the vital connection between nutrition, stress, and trauma recovery.

Food is therapy—and the choices you make each day impact your capacity to heal from anxiety, stress, and even trauma. Somatic Educator Luis Mojica offers a groundbreaking approach to eating to support the nervous system, adrenals, and glucose balance. When you learn how nutrition impacts your emotions and your body, every food choice becomes an opportunity to shift your biochemistry and support your goals. This knowledge can be incorporated into both therapeutic and personal practices, revealing how to:

• Learn which foods affect your fight-or-flight response.
• Replace judgment and shame with curiosity to reveal the unmet needs behind your food cravings.
• Avoid food-induced stress so your body can better handle life's ups and downs.
• Eat both processed and whole foods in a balanced way.

Neither a cookbook nor a one-size-fits-all diet of dos and don’ts, this book is a guide to becoming a conscious alchemist, deeply in tune with your body, using food as a medicine.
