When you're healing from trauma, your nervous system may feel stuck in overdrive—leaving you anxious, exhausted, or disconnected from your body. The good news? What you eat can help. Certain nutrients play a powerful role in calming your nervous system, supporting brain function, and reducing inflammation.

It's not magic, and it's not a quick fix. If you have dealt with trauma, you know that nothing is. But the changes that happen in your physiology because of trauma are very real, and this is where food can come into play.

In this article, I break down how to use food as part of your healing journey.

We'll talk about prebiotic fiber and polyphenols, omega-3 fatty acids, B vitamins, antioxidants, and vitamin D—plus how to put it all together.

There's so much misinformation about food sensitivities. Some people (including some medical professionals) don't believe they exist. Others (also including some medical professionals) are terrified of them. If you're a dietitian, you're more than likely seeing people who are concerned about food sensitivities. They deserve data-driven, evidence-based, balanced advice that takes their experience into account, doesn't gaslight them, but also doesn't incite fear and harm their relationship with food.

For individuals dealing with disordered eating or a difficult relationship with food, food labels can be fraught, to say the least. Information overload about food becomes not just frustrating or confusing, but downright paralyzing.

If you struggle with anxiety about your food choices, my amazing mentee, a graduate student researcher studying ultra-processed foods and health outcomes, has some compassionate words for you. When labels are fraught, can we take a step back and focus more on mindful awareness of how the food makes us feel, gratitude for the enjoyment food can bring, and gentleness with ourselves when we sometimes make choices that don't feel good for our bodies?
