Key Takeaways
- The processing that foods go through is a significant factor in the amount of damage these foods can cause to the gut.
- You should always look for the minimum number of ingredients in any product.
- If you have symptoms that disrupt your life prior to menstruation then you are likely to have a deficiency of progesterone. This deficiency is usually a result of stress.
- Too much of anything is not great and if you notice inflammation when you have dairy then stop having it.
- If anyone is experiencing anxiety, then stopping caffeine can help to identify if your body functions better without it.
- There are benefits to caffeine so finding out how it affects you is the key to knowing what’s right for you.
- Anxiety is a normal human emotion and can be a great navigation tool helping us to navigate to the things that benefit us.
- If you have a panic attack the best thing you can do is to try and allow the feeling of anxiety to be there and understand it.
- Allowing the sensation to be there is one of the most effective ways to be in control of it.
- The power a panic attack has goes away when you learn to accept it.
- Understanding that you cannot help anyone when you are depleted is about recognising you need to look after yourself so you can show up and help everyone else.
Best Moments
‘If you try and fight a panic attack it gains momentum’
‘Giving to yourself means you are able to others’
‘I’m neutral in my approach because I don’t want people to be anxious about food’
