Eat these three things to feel better (from an eating psychology counselor)

Would you love to learn how to construct meals in a way that will:

• Stabilize blood sugar

• Promote brain health

• Support healthy GI function and hormone metabolism

• Increase a sense of positive self-regard through caring for your body

If you're a "yes," know that this is 100% do-able

As an eating psychology counselor, I want you to focus on these three things in your diet:

Dietary Protein: protein helps with muscle maintain and repair, helps regulate blood sugar, brings satiety and regulates

appetite throughout the day, and supports immune function. Great sources include pasture-raised eggs, organic free-range chicken, turkey, grass-fed beef, fatty fish like salmon and sardines, shellfish, high-quality protein powder, cottage cheese, and greek yogurt

Anti-inflammatory Fat: these fats helps support the nervous system, focus, and emotional regulation, protect heart health, improve nutrient absorption, support hormone balance, and aid in satiety. Great sources include: fatty fish, chia seeds, flaxseed, EVOO, avocado, avocado oil, nuts and seeds, pasture-raised eggs, ghee, coconut oil

Fiber: dietary fiber supports healthy digestion and elimination, feeds a healthy gut microbiome, regulates blood sugar levels, helps with hormone metabolism, and supports satiety and weight balance. Great sources include oats, quinoa, buckwheat, lentils, chickpeas, edamame, broccoli, carrots, artichokes, leafy greens, apples, berries, pears, oranges, bananas, nuts and seeds, chia/flax seeds, and root vegetables

Integrating these regularly is a goal to aspire to.

If for any reason this feels daunting or your feel your heart rate increase (if a part of you is putting pressure on you to do this perfectly immediately), please pause.

Remember, those that expect themselves to do everything at once, naturally, and without fail…overwhelm themselves and often bailOn the other hand, those that are willing to take on a student-like attitude and allow themselves to develop eating skill-sets over time, consistently, do well!If you’re up for the practice, (and I hope you are) ask yourself at each meal...

“Where’s the protein, fat, and fiber?”Start with one meal a day.Sensitive souls, listen up: Commit to growth without the overwhelm.

This will take you quite far!

With love & respect,

Laura

NEWS! I've been working hard behind the scenes these last several months to develop a nutritional and eating psychology curriculum for clients, students, and lovers of learning, health, and growth. I'm finalizing formatting and details in the coming week or so.

I'll be offering a soft-launch to a small group of interested women, and I wanted to give you a heads up, in case you'd like to join me. I'll be sending out another newsletter soon with details. I'm VERY excited about this and feel it's been in works for quite a long time.

Keep your eyes out for details!
