Read this again... You can NOT heal while in Fight, flight, freeze, or fawn (sympathetic response) The body only heals in Rest and Digest (parasympathetic response.)

You can’t heal in fight-or-flight.

Your body has two modes: survival or restoration. And what you eat can help determine which one you’re in.

Ultra-processed foods, excess sugar, and caffeine without adequate protein create blood sugar chaos. Each spike and crash sends a stress signal to your brain: cortisol rises, your heart rate jumps, and your nervous system prepares for threat.

In this state, your body isn’t focused on healing. Digestion slows. Detoxification stalls. Immune and reproductive function are put on pause…

But here’s the good news: You can regulate your nervous system starting with your metabolism.
- Protein-rich, nutrient-dense meals keep blood sugar steady.
- Nutrients like magnesium, B vitamins, and omega-3s support neurotransmitter balance.
- Daily rhythms of whole foods, quality sleep, movement, and rest send the signal: you’re safe.

Of course, nutrition is only one piece of the puzzle. You also have to do the inner work: Unwinding chronic stress, setting boundaries, releasing stored trauma, and creating emotional safety all help shift your body out of survival mode.

Healing happens when your body and mind both feel safe. Start with your plate and build from there.

Your nervous system is listening to everything: your food, your thoughts, your environment. When it senses safety, it finally gets to do what it’s designed to do: heal. ♥️

🔑🔑🔑 HEAL IN SLOWNESS🔑🔑🔑

We live in a highly pressurized, highly competitive, highly stressful world, where our value is often associated with our "productivity" and our ability to adapt and keep going, it's no wonder so many are struggling with nervous system dysregulation!

TIPS TO SLOW DOWN:
👃🏼 Breathwork: Box Breathing, abdominal breathing, pursed lip breathing, all of these can help soothe and regulate your nervous system.
🌱 Walk in nature: just 30 minutes a day in nature can lower your cortisol levels and activate your parasympathetic nervous system (Rest and Digest phase) helping to regulate your nervous system.
💦Optimal Hydration: Dehydration can greatly contribute to nervous system dysregulation, drink half your bodyweight in ounces of fresh, clean water daily.

Class Action Lawsuit Filed Against S.C. Johnson & Son Inc., Maker of Ziploc Storage Products: Ziploc bags and containers have been such a presence in Americans' lives for decades that most people don’t even think twice about using them. But a new class action lawsuit is raising a lot of questions about the safety of this food storage staple. The lawsuit, which was filed by California resident Linda Cheslow, alleges that Ziploc bags and containers contain undisclosed microplastics that can harm consumers, and that marketing them as "microwave safe" and suitable for "freezer" use is misleading, since they're made from "materials that scientific and medical evidence shows release microplastics when microwaved and frozen." Jamie Alan, PhD, an associate professor of pharmacology and toxicology at Michigan State University, says that it would be "logical to believe that all plastic products come with some level of personal and environmental risk." Scientists are still trying to parse the potential impact of microplastics on health but there is some research linking these particles to dementia and heart disease. Microplastics have also been linked to oxidative stress. Long-term oxidative stress has been tied to the development of chronic inflammation, cancer, and other diseases. Microplastics also contain hundreds of toxic chemicals that can cause disease. To top it off, studies have found that microplastics infiltrate all systems of the human body -- in human blood, breast milk, lungs, placentas, and able to bioaccumulate deep in brain tissue.

DO NOT use Ziploc or any plastic products to store food and drinks. There is no such thing as food-grade or food-safe plastics.
