That glass of wine might feel like it helps you relax — but it actually stresses your nervous system.

Here are 3 foods that do a better job (without the crash)

Protein → balances blood sugar & builds feel-good brain chemicals
B Vitamins → your stress + energy vitamins
Magnesium → nature’s “chill pill” for sleep & calm

These foods don’t just nourish your body — they help your mind truly relax.

Have you ever poured a glass of wine hoping it would help you relax…
only to feel more anxious instead?

That was me.
At my husband’s 10-year reunion, one glass of wine sent me spiraling into my very first full-blown panic attack. 💔

What I didn’t know then: alcohol doesn’t always calm the nerves. For some of us, it can fuel blood sugar crashes, panic, and anxiety symptoms that feel identical to the real thing.

This month, in honor of Su***de Prevention Awareness Month, I’m opening up about my story — and sharing the crucial insights you need to know about the link between alcohol and anxiety.

National Acorn Squash Day might fly under the radar… but this cozy, brain-boosting stuffed squash deserves a spot on your fall menu. 🍂

Why I love it:

Acorn squash → rich in fiber & vitamin C for immune + mood support

Quinoa→ plant-based protein to keep blood sugar (and moods) steady

Carrots, celery, onion → antioxidants for brain health

Sunflower seeds → magnesium for calm + resilience

And yes… just a touch of bacon or avocado oil drizzle for comfort 🧡

This is food that feels good and does good.

I lived with depression and anxiety attacks so severe, I lost the desire to carry on. What I didn’t know then was that gluten was fueling inflammation and nutritional deficiencies that reached my brain.

This video is part of Su***de Prevention Awareness Month — and I want to share my story because maybe food is a missing piece in your journey, too.

In this video, you’ll learn:
✅ My personal story of panic attacks and depression linked to gluten
✅ How delayed food sensitivities can trigger brain inflammation
✅ Nutritional deficiencies (B vitamins, iron, magnesium, zinc) that often come with gluten sensitivity
✅ Why it’s not always gluten — sometimes dairy, corn, oats, or other foods are triggers
✅ The pros and cons of elimination diets vs. lab testing
✅ What changed when I finally removed gluten from my diet

Twenty-one years ago, I fit the classic “low-serotonin” profile: depression, anxiety, fear, perfectionism, despair — even the thought of giving up.

On paper, medication looked like the perfect solution. But rather than bringing relief, some of the prescriptions made things worse.

What I didn’t know at the time was that my struggles had physical root causes that weren’t being addressed.

It wasn’t until we dug deeper that I finally found relief.

💡 This week in my blog post, I share my story, the science, and an often-overlooked link between food and suicidal thoughts. I believe it’s a conversation that can bring hope.

Some days, I feel like I can’t do self-care at all.

Then I remember — it’s the little habits that actually make the difference.

A little bit of protein, a castor oil pack, a few mindful breaths — habits my mom always reminded me to make time for — are what nourish my body, mind, and soul.

Ever feel like no matter how hard you try, you’re still exhausted and unfocused?

Once I ran labs and made a few shifts, everything changed.

Your mood isn’t separate from your biology. Let’s figure out what your body’s been trying to say.
