Inflammation Affects Emotion

Research shows that people who eat more ultra-processed foods have a 21–55% higher risk of depression.
That’s not just coincidence.
Inflammation changes your brain chemistry — lowering serotonin, dopamine, and GABA.

When you calm inflammation, you calm your mind.
This is why one of the first things I focus on with overwhelmed women isn’t mindset — it’s nourishment.

When the fire inside settles, you can finally breathe again.

Your Mood Follows Your Blood Sugar

UPFs (ultra-processed foods) are engineered to give you a dopamine hit… and then take it away.
That blood sugar crash doesn’t just leave you tired — it destabilizes your emotions.

Even one day of swings can make you feel:
😣 Irritable
😩 Anxious
🧠 Foggy
💔 “Unsteady inside”

You deserve steadiness — in your body, your emotions, and your day.
Start by feeding your calm, not your chaos.

Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) now make up 55–60% of the American diet.
They’re not just chips and soda — they hide in protein bars, “low-fat” yogurts, and even breakfast cereals.
These foods are designed to hijack hunger, spike your blood sugar, and leave you feeling flat and anxious.
This isn’t about guilt — it’s about awareness. The more you know what’s really on your plate, the easier it is to choose foods that steady your mood and energy.
✨ Small shifts calm big fires.

When 55–60% of the American diet is ultra-processed… emotions pay the price.

Every 10% rise in ultra-processed foods increases your risk of Type 2 diabetes by 12% — and that diagnosis costs an average of $1,200+ per year per person.

But the damage starts long before that.
These foods — loaded with refined starches, sugars, and industrial oils — send your blood sugar (and your mood) on a rollercoaster:
⬆️ Spike
⬇️ Crash

And your brain feels it as:
😠 Irritability
😟 Anxiety
😴 Fatigue
🌫️ Brain fog
💥 Emotional reactivity

Even one day of those swings can leave you feeling off balance, unfocused, and “unsteady inside.”

✨Real food = real stability.✨
Start small: swap one ultra-processed meal today for something whole and nourishing — your body and your emotions will thank you.

My mom was so proud when I got a credit card as a single woman.
We take women’s rights for granted. They can all be taken away if we don’t speak up.
The right to make decisions about our own bodies was recently denied us by the Supreme Court.
Don’t sit and watch the others disappear.
Own your power as a female. Your rights as a human.
If this raises a fire, an emotion in you, good.
If you need a way to understand and harness this energy, DM me.

🍁 Find Your Fall Balance 🍁
As the trees release their leaves, nature reminds us to do the same — to let go of stress, tension, and the need to hold it all together. Fall is your cue to pause, breathe, and restore balance.

At Your Blissful Journey, I guide women to ease pain, calm the mind, and reconnect with their natural flow of energy.

If you feel called to slow down and realign before the holidays, let’s talk. Together, we’ll make it easy to come back to harmony. 🌿

Rene Daumal, French writer and poet, reminds us that it's not about what we achieve, but who we become in the process:

"You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know."
