🧠 Did you know that what you eat affects your mood, energy, and even your sleep?

I’ve been revisiting one of my favourite holistic psychology topics:

Food & Mood 🌿
In this short video, I explore 8 powerful mechanisms that explain how food influences your emotional state—from blood sugar to gut health, inflammation, hormones, and more.
🎥 Watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wigDuAceeY8&t=2s

Whether you’re feeling anxious, flat, foggy, or struggling with sleep—this might help connect a few dots.

✨ This week’s gentle practice:
Notice how your body feels after each meal. Is your nervous system calm? Energised? Foggy? Anxious?
Just this small check-in can help you tune in and make more nourishing, body-wise choices.
