When the body is under stress it looks for a fast-burning fuel and it looks to glucose.

The pattern of adrenalin production  today has resulted in inflammatory compounds  in the body

High levels of adrenalin create inflammation and cortisol has to increase to deal with this

Your body responds to the information you give it

Our actions are driven by our beliefs and how we perceive ourselves

We construct ourselves and live as if we need approval and in unpacking the beliefs you have created you need to be flexible about how others perceive you

You have to do the inner work if you want to make changes to your beliefs

It’s never about the food its always about the emotions

Humans will do more to avoid pain than gain pleasure
