I polled people on IG last month and almost 80% of people that saw my story said they felt like they have food sensitivities. So, that’s a problem because once you dive into the intricacies of that there is a lot of nuances.So to help with this & answer the question I get in so many different flavors each week, I’m hosting a live training and Q&A session called “What should I eat? Answering your questions about food reactions and inflammation”.You can register at christabiegler.com/foodreactionsAlong the theme of food, this week on the Less Stress Life Podcast, I talk to Noelle Tarr of Coconuts and Kettlebells about diet stressors. Is your diet stressing you out? Noelle candidly shares her personal story of chasing fitness and the mental mindset mistakes and how that has shaped what she does in her personal and professional life. She talks about rebuilding based on truth and how a hyper-focus on food can cause stress on your body and do more damage than good. Most importantly, Noelle shares tips on how to change your mindset and reverse the shame cycle.KEY TAKEAWAYS:Diet culture teaches "thin is in" and value is based on this obsession with managing thisTrends and fads of diet cultureIs stress a mental or physical issue?Cortisol spikes when stressed and impacts on body-mineral dumping, thyroid issues, hormonal imbalance, increased appetite, digestion problemsUnderstanding the nervous systemNervous system chronic over stimulation slows healing drasticallyNOELLE SHARED HELPFUL TIPS ON:Giving yourself some graceMindset directly impacts physiologyImportance of allowing ourselves to "rest and digest"Steering clear of the "shame cycle"How reverse or avoid the shame cycleABOUT NOELLE:Noelle is a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP™), certified by the Nutritional Therapy Association®, and a National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA®) Certified Personal Trainer.
