The Mind/Body Connection
Nutrition Expert, Watch Thyself
I have been doing nutritional counseling for 30 years. I eat well. But, every so often I forgo my wisdom and dip into disaster.
I felt great. Had acupuncture and a good report at the doctors. Reason to celebrate. White wheat makes me tired. I lusted after pasta at an Italian restaurant, where I ate a pasta dish with chicken, spinach, sun dried tomatoes. It was laden with oil and grease. The fat and wheat combination caused an extreme reaction - a total mental fog.
Left the restaurant, got into my car and started to drive away. I asked myself - Where am I? Where was I going? I was mentally unhinged. Tired is one thing, but I was out of my mind. Went home, threw out the leftovers and went to bed.
This was not a food pleasure. If there are foods you know are bad for you - don't eat them. If you don't know which foods cause mind/body stress, make an appointment with Laura.

Mind Body Spirit: Letting go of Stress
When prolonged stress continues beyond a few moments, it suppresses the brain's ability to develop new cells. from University of California
5 STRATEGIES TO LET GO AND LET GOD
1. Gratitude improves the mood and reduces the stress hormone cortisol by 23%.
2. Stop "What If" statements which increase stress and worry. Take action.
3. Disconnect from stressful situations; walk, listen to music, meditate, and breathe. 4. Stop negative self-talk in it's tracks. It is stressful and is not factual.
5. Ask for help from your support system, friends, family, God or just journal it out.
