Studies have shown that incorporating spirituality in your life strengthens your immune system, lowers pain, fights stress, increases emotional wellbeing, and so much more. But, it’s one of the most commonly overlooked and misunderstood aspects of a healthy lifestyle.  At ITN, our core curriculum goes much deeper than mediation, mindful practices, and religion. Those aspects can be important, but spiritual nutrition is about discovering meaning and connection to yourself and the world around you.  Cynthia dives into the three subcategories of spirituality and explains what happens when you’re lacking in any one of those areas. She illustrates the domino effect of filling a spiritual void with unhealthy habits, including overeating and self-isolation.  Cynthia also shares a real life example of what it can look like to be spiritually disconnected and highlights how you can work with clients to implement soulful, nourishing practices into their lives. Listen in to learn more about how you can start to cultivate a deeper connection to your spirituality and help your clients do the same.  In today’s episode, you’ll discover:  What really happens when you ignore spiritual nutrition  The “proactive health model” that helps you and your clients get to the root cause of their symptoms  The surprising link between increased sugar consumption and lack of spiritual connection  Warning signs that you or your client may be struggling with spirituality  Creative ways to easily integrate spiritual practices into your daily and weekly routines Important Links: Show notes for this episode Resources Mentioned: Episode 12 - Spirituality & Sugar Go Hand in Hand  Download the Course Catalog and Getting Started Guide  Learn more about becoming a Certified Transformational Nutrition Coach Watch the Dream Career video series  Follow Us: Visit our website Follow us on Instagram Follow us on Facebook Connect with ITN graduate, Sarah Joy, on Instagram
