{HMW} The surprising thing that happens before stress eating kicks in
|
Dear Reader, A quick share for you today. You know I talk a lot about how stress eating isn’t really about food, it’s about what your nervous system is trying to manage underneath. When we’re depleted, overwhelmed, or stretched thin, food becomes the fastest source of comfort, control, or pause. That’s why I wanted to share a resource from my friend Nick Urban, a Certified CHEK Practitioner and Human Optimization Coach. He created a short, science-backed 3-Step Guide to 10X Your Energy that beautifully supports the deeper work we’re doing together. Here’s what’s inside: 🔹 The overlooked daily habit silently draining your emotional resilience 🔹 A 90-second reset that helps calm stress before it hits 🔹 A simple environmental tweak that helps your body recharge… without willpower 🔹 A morning ritual that stabilizes mood, focus & cravings all day 🔹 How to build a new energy baseline that reduces stress-driven eating patterns It’s gentle, practical, and easy to apply, especially if you’ve been feeling stretched or running on empty.

Ingredient Spotlight: Enoki Mushrooms Enoki mushrooms are those delicate, long-stemmed white mushrooms you've probably seen at the Asian market looking like tiny underwater creatures. They have a mild, slightly fruity flavor and this satisfying crunch that stays even after cooking – which is kind of rare for mushrooms. I love tossing them into soups and hot pots in the last few minutes of cooking, where they soften just enough while keeping their texture. Beyond their fun texture, enokis contain beta-glucans, which support immune function. They're also one of the few mushrooms that taste good raw, which makes them pretty versatile for those nights when you can't be bothered to turn on the stove. 30 enoki mushroom recipes that are packed with flavor Announcements & Upcoming: The truth is, almost everyone feels the holiday pressure — the schedules, the extra decisions, the expectations.
