It's no secret that sugar can create a slew of health issues. Weight gain, diabetes, and heart disease are some of the obvious ones. But what about the relationship between sugar and adrenaline? Yes, adrenaline - the same stress hormone that puts you into fight or flight.

This webinar is going to teach you how sugar, a common food we turn to comfort our stress, has the ability to "turn on" your stress response because of the sugar-to-adrenaline sequence (or the S2A).

I'll explain the biology of this, explore the emotions around sugar addiction, and offer you very practical ways to begin avoiding the S2A sequence altogether without having to completely do away with sugar.

Supporting weight loss or gain is futile if diet is the only thing we focus on. This free session will explore how somatic psychology helps us get to the emotional roots of our food habits while simultaneously incorporating balancing foods in order to help your body gain, lose, or balance its weight.

I'll teach you why we store fat by design (and how that's not your fault), how to release shame around the size of your body, and the important difference between a balanced diet and a healthy diet. I'll even give you some simple tools for helping your body interrupt its fat storage pattern and incorporate foods for healthy weight gain.

I am a trauma therapist, nutritionist, and have recovered from my own binging & purging eating disorder in addition to many health conditions such as being overweight, hypoglycemia, asthma, acne, and high cholesterol. I teach this topic with great care, dignity, and through a trauma-informed lens.

Recovery is different from abstinence, though both are important as you heal from addiction. Abstinence is the avoiding of an addictive substance, while recovery is the balancing of your body from years of addiction. For example, some people go from cocaine to coffee so the same activating patterns of addiction are playing out with a new susbtance. This free session focuses on the somatic psychology behind addiction (a desperation for safety) as well as the biochemistry that causes us to become addicted. Whether it's food, legal or illegal drugs, television, media, work, porn, sex, or money we welcome anyone here who is in recovery, wants to be, or supports people in recovery to learn the important role that food plays in helping the body become balanced and less dependent on addictive substances and behaviors.

This session will explore a few fundamental things with ADD & ADHD: starting with dopamine and the nervous system. Most treatment for AD(H)D involves stimulants that create dopamine spikes to help us feel the reward that comes with focusing on, otherwise, boring tasks. Like, painfully boring tasks. I'm going to teach, as someone who was diagnosed with ADHD at age 9, how you can use nutrition to restore your nervous system and even create more sustainable dopamine to focus and get things done. In addition to ADHD I also have Tourette's Syndrome & Nervous Ticks which are mostly in remission due to my balancing diet and somatic techniques. Join me for this free session to learn how you can begin supporting yourself.

Intermittent fasting, juice fasting, and straight up water fasts have undeniable health benefits. But did you know that the cleansing mechanism during a fast is powered by one important stress hormone? Adrenaline. This free session explores the nuanced discussion around when it's most supportive to fast, how to prepare your body for fasting, and when it's more stressful than helpful for your body. I'll be focusing on blood sugar, hormonal cycles, intentional fasting, & religious and lunar fasting. Please come with plenty of questions because toward the end we will have a Q&A.
