This November,
choose one nervous system ritual and repeat it daily:
• A five minute morning stretch
• A ten minute walk outside before noon light
• Deep belly breathing before meals
• Saying no kindly when you need rest
• A warm evening drink to signal wind-down
Nervous system nourishment is not about perfection.

It is about connection and consistency.

When we talk about stress, we often think of busy minds or even think we aren't stressed.

Stress isn’t just mental. It’s physical and can be switched on for a long time without you even being aware.

When stress is constant, your body forgets how to switch off or that it needs to.

This can feel like being 'tired but wired' & getting rest doesn't help the situation.

Here’s how to help your nervous system recalibrate:
✨ Eat regularly. Skipping meals spikes cortisol.
✨ Add magnesium-rich foods. Leafy greens, nuts, seeds, and cacao to calm a stress response.
✨ Balance blood sugar with protein and slow carbs to stabilise mood and energy.
✨ Practise slow breathing or gentle movement. Siganlling your vagus nerve you’re safe.
✨ Create softness around your routine. less force, more flow.

Regulation is the new resilience.
It’s not about doing more. It’s about feeling safe enough to rest.

When we think about inflammation, we can picture sore joints, swelling, and pain.

However, inflammation can also show up in your mood, such as anxiety, fatigue, irritability, or that heavy, low feeling that’s hard to explain.

🧠 This is because your brain and immune system are in constant conversation.

When inflammation rises in the body, from stress, blood sugar imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, poor sleep, or hormonal changes. The brain gets that message, too.

Scientists call this “neuroinflammation” and it’s linked to depression, anxiety, and cognitive symptoms like brain fog.

The good news? We can calm this response through daily nourishment:

✨ Eat anti-inflammatory foods - colourful plants, omega-3s, olive oil, herbs, and spices.

✨ Balance blood sugar - regular meals, protein in each meal, reducing ultra-processed food.

✨ Rest and regulate - stress hormones fuel inflammation; rest quiets it.

✨ Support the gut - 70% of your immune system lives there.

Inflammation doesn’t mean you’re broken. It means your body is asking for safety and support.

This is what the Nourished Mind is all about, translating the science of inflammation, nutrition, and mental health into care that feels human.

Even though you have the capacity to do so much.
✨️
You must choose how you spend time and energy. These are not limitless resources.
✨️
Identify what you most want and then prioritise accordingly.

When we’re stressed, our body doesn’t just 'feel anxious' it shifts into survival mode.
Cortisol rises, digestion slows, blood sugar fluctuates, and the gut microbiome, that intricate ecosystem influencing everything from mood to immunity, starts to change.

This is the gut–brain axis in action: a constant conversation between your digestive system and your nervous system.

🧠 When your mind is stressed, your gut feels it. You might notice bloating, appetite changes, or tightness in your stomach.
🌿 When your gut is inflamed or imbalanced, it sends signals back to the brain, exacerbating anxiety, fatigue, or low mood.

Over time, this two-way conversation can create a feedback loop of stress and inflammation unless we interrupt it with nourishment, rest, and regulation.

Here’s what helps to restore balance:
✨ Eat regularly and slowly - balanced meals, steady blood sugar, and signal safety to your nervous system. Slowing down aids digestion also.
✨ Prioritise anti-inflammatory foods – think omega-3s, colourful plants, herbs, and fibre.
✨ Support your gut microbes – fermented foods, prebiotics, and mindful eating all help.
✨ Regulate, don’t restrict – the goal isn’t perfection, it’s communication between mind and body.
This is what the Nourished Mind series is all about, exploring how mental health, hormones, and nutrition are deeply connected.

Building resilience one dip at a time. Doing hard things is always that bit nicer with community and support.

Here, we are braving the elements in one of my fave ways, and before the water gets too cold 🥶

30/09/2025

I needed a challenge to get me out of a bit of a comfort 'rut'. These things happen, you get used to hanging out, watching shows, eating differently and not prioritising other things like workouts, study, journalling etc etc.

I did the September 30, with the intent to hit the gym every day for whatever that meant on the day. Weights/ stretching/ sauna/ cardio and the action of just being there really did help get my routine established.

I, of course, didn't get the full 30 days, with some activities like zip lining, a weekend away, or covid taking priority at times.

But I learnt (again) that routine and discipline get me further than motivation alone. That flexibility means if you do need that extra sleep in, gyming later is always an option.

Being at the gym so often made me feel more comfortable and confident there (it's a relatively new one for me).

And as always, rest is part of the work! Be it prioritising a stretch, sauna session, or taking completely off for the day to meet your needs.

What challenge do you like or fancy giving a go? It's October tomorrow, so it's for me.
