You are an ancient human living in a modern world.
While your conscious mind may have forgotten this fact, your body and the survival structures in your brain have not.
Survival is hardwired into each one of us.
This is the part of your brain that acts without you.
It’s the part that automatically draws your hand away from a flame. It’s the part that makes your mouth go dry right before it’s your turn to speak at the meeting. It’s the part that makes you sweat as you walk up to the podium. It’s the part that gives you a headache or nausea right before you have to do something you really don’t want to do.
We talk a lot about our fear responses — flight, flight or freeze — as part of our ancient human body that still manifests daily in our lives.
But there is another part of our survival mechanism that we don’t often talk about or even think about any more.
We are hardwired to find food and water.
We are hardwired to find food and water and this is every bit as critical to our survival mechanisms as our fear response.
And yet, most of us take food and water for granted these days.
You turn on a tap and voila — drinking water!
You go to the grocery store and there is every manner of food imaginable — fresh, frozen, canned or packaged — from all over the world — right at your fingertips.
If anything, we suffer from too much food choice.
And yet for millions of people, there is still something missing.
Food is a battlefield. Food is a guilt trip. Food is binge eating. Food is a party.
Food is a trauma response. Food is comfort. Food is self-loathing.
Food is a calorie chart. Food is a diet plan. Food is restraint and control. Food is over-indulgence.
Food is pretty much anything except one of the most fundamental elements of our survival.
It’s time to step back.
It’s time to remember how our mind-body-food connection actually works.
Every animal on the planet knows how to eat, and yet as humans we spend billions of dollars trying to learn the “right way”.
Join me on a 7-week journey as we explore the mind-body-food connection. Let’s delve into our 5 senses and look at the science behind how our mind and body perceives food. This science has been exploited by Big-Business in the name of bigger profits and more control over the food supply. But instead, you can learn how to take back control. You can restore your relationship with food by understanding the Mind-Body-Food Connection and using that to make better choices.
