I've seen firsthand the tremendous impact nutrition can have on your brain and body, after suffering a concussion with a multitude of related symptoms, I felt lost. Nutrition saved my brain, and improved my memory and concentration. In the process my gut health also improved, sugar cravings went away, and I slept better.

Eating is complex and personal. Eating can be joyful and nourishing or filled with conflict and pain from past experiences, sometimes passed down through generations. Aside from our individual and family history, our culture and often the world of health care can be harsh and stigmatizing about matters of size and shape and lead people to be in a constant battle with their bodies. Further, the world of nutrition and healthy eating advice can be full of contradiction, misinformation, and rigidity. Finally, any sort of physical issue or illness affected by eating behavior and food choices make it hard to know how to eat to be well.
