{HMW} Some of us are simply wired differently around food
|
Dear Reader, If you've ever felt like mainstream eating advice was written for someone else's nervous system, you're not wrong. While everyone else talks about "just listening to your body," we know it's not that simple when your body speaks in sensory overwhelm, texture aversions, and emotional floods. But here's what no one talks about: some of us are simply wired differently. Our nervous systems pick up on every texture, sound, smell, and energy around food. What looks like "issues with eating" is actually a highly sensitive system trying to cope in a world that wasn't designed for us. Once I understood this about myself, I could finally work with my sensitivity instead of against it. The relief was immediate. Now I'm creating what I desperately needed back thenβan eating program that starts with understanding your unique nervous system and builds from there. β βThe Sensory Eating Immersion group coaching program opens its doors soon. Six weeks of practical tools, nervous system education, and a completely different way of thinking about your relationship with food. If you've ever felt like traditional eating advice misses the mark for you, get on the waitlist today! You'll be first to know when enrollment opens, plus you'll get early access pricing and immediate access to TWO amazing bonuses that will support you, regardless if you end up joining us in the program. Limited to 15 people for our first round. β

Over on the Consciously Eaten Podcast this week, we talked about building a better Breakfast based on your chronotype, circadian nutrition patterns and internal hunger & satiety cues. As part of this episode, I created a Morning Hunger Investigation Worksheet for my paid subscribers that I want to gift you with here today. I think it could be really helpful if you've been struggling with what to eat or when to eat breakfast. Let me know what you think! β β Want it: To the fellow Mom's of kiddos heading to college or university this year, does anyone else's heart feel like it's being squeegeed dry with sadness and nostalgia? To the elders among us who have gone through this....how do we navigate this? I want advice! This is so hard. π₯ β β Ingredient Spotlight: Watercress Watercress might just be the most underestimated green in the produce aisle. I used to think it was just fancy garnish, but this little leafy green is actually a nutritional superstar. The flavor is bold and fresh. It's got this crisp, clean finish that makes everything from sandwiches to soups feel more vibrant. And here's the thing: watercress is absolutely loaded with vitamins K, C, and A, plus it's one of the most nutrient-dense foods you can eat (seriously, it tops those fancy superfood lists). Toss it into salads for an instant flavor upgrade, blend it into pesto or just pile it onto avocado toast. It also makes a mean addition to green smoothies if you're feeling adventurous. β11 Wonderful Watercress recipesβ β Announcements & Upcoming: In the next couple of weeks - expect emails about these upcoming bundles, summits and masterclasses!
