When our guest today reached out to me, I loved the idea of using food to reduce stress and improve focus. I think food can be so powerful in making you feel like garbage or making you feel like you can run the world.
If you are listening to this in real-time, I am currently on a business trip across the US. Any of you who travel for business know that, although you can always control what you actually put in your mouth, you can’t always control what is available to you. Sometimes high-energy foods are plentiful and you feel great for said trip. Sometimes, you end up starving or bloated and tired or maybe a little of both. It has been just another lesson in how powerful food choices are in how you feel physically as well as mentally and emotionally.
