You’re doing everything “right” with food — and still feel anxious, exhausted, and disconnected from your body. Sound familiar? In this episode, Wendy sits down with somatic educator and USA Today bestselling author Luis Mojica to explore the missing link between what we eat and how we feel.
Luis shares his own journey through trauma and disordered eating, and the breakthrough that became his book Food Therapy: the idea that food is constantly speaking to your nervous system. He explains “food-induced stress,” why certain foods quietly trigger fight-or-flight, how to sort foods into stimulants, depressants, and balancers — and why your cravings are actually messages about your unmet needs. This is not a Diet or a list of rules. It’s a compassionate, freeing new way to relate to food, your body, and yourself in midlife.
What You’ll Learn:
•       Why even “healthy” foods can push your nervous system into fight-or-flight
•       The surprising glucose–adrenaline connection behind food-induced stress
•       How to sort foods into stimulants, depressants, and balancers — and bookend them
•       How to read your cravings as a compass for unmet emotional needs
•       A simple embodiment practice to find safety in your own body
