Summary: Trauma nutrition (clearing the brain fog and optimizing body function) isn't part of the clinical approach to healing symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or other post-trauma reactions -- but it should be. In all the years of my "healing rampage" no one spoke to me about how the brain needs glucose and the right sources for that, or how not having it would dramatically affect brain function thereby increasing my PTSD symptoms and making recovery work even more difficult that it already was. Now I'm healed and seeing the benefit of a huge change in my nutrition I can't help wishing someone had told me all those years ago that simply changing my eating habits would change my symptoms. I didn't have the benefit of knowing how nutrition cures symptoms of depression, brain fog and lack of concentration, but you do! The question is, what will you do with your nutrition when you have simple tips for how to improve it and thus improve how you think, respond and react? Imagine how your life would be different if you could reduce insomnia, stress and anxiety and increase feelings of calm, control and resilience. If that appeals to you, take a listen to my conversation with Christine Toriello in which we covered: the dangers of self-medicating with highly refined and caffeinated foods and beverages emotional eating key nutrients your brain and body need for optimal functioning practical tips for easily getting the nutrients you need through easy nutrition change MEET MY GUEST: Christine Toriello is a military spouse and a successful entrepreneur working from home along the beautiful Maine coast.
