Can your mindset physically change your brain’s energy system? According to new research, it can. Drop a YES below and I’ll DM you this conversation. 🎧

Dr. Martin Picard explains how optimism, connection, and having a sense of purpose are linked to more and healthier mitochondria in the prefrontal cortex - the part of the brain that governs clarity, focus, emotional regulation, and decision-making.

Your thoughts can reshape the very system that creates cellular energy, how incredible is that?

When you understand how your mind and mitochondria communicate, you gain new leverage to heal.

Did you know that your nervous system sends clear signals when it’s under strain? Irritability, short temper, or that feeling of being “on edge” are often the first indicators of dysregulation, frequently driven by blood sugar instability.

I love this post by .holistic.psychologist - it’s a perfect example of food as medicine and the profound connection between metabolic health and nervous system regulation.

When your blood glucose drops rapidly or fluctuates dramatically, your body releases stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline to compensate. This triggers your sympathetic nervous system (your fight-or-flight response) which manifests as irritability, anxiety, or emotional reactivity.

Here’s how to reset:

🥩 Eat protein or healthy fats to slow glucose absorption and prevent the spike-and-crash cycle that keeps your nervous system in overdrive

🚶🏼Take a brisk walk to activate your parasympathetic nervous system (rest-and-digest), improve insulin sensitivity, and help clear stress hormones from your bloodstream

Your nervous system can actively regulate through nutrition, movement, and metabolic awareness.

Pay attention to your body’s early warning signals, and you’ll prevent the downstream effects of chronic dysregulation: inflammation, poor sleep, weakened immunity, and metabolic dysfunction.

Mitochondria aren’t just “the powerhouse of the call” - they’re the master regulators of your entire existence. 🧬

This explains why what you eat directly controls your energy.
Why depression, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s share the same root cause.
Why stress literally drains your life force at the cellular level.

Dr. Martin Picard from Columbia University has uncovered what he calls the “Energy Resistance Principle” - a unified field theory for human health that changes everything we thought we knew about disease.

This conversation will fundamentally change how you think about your health.

After pressure from the HHS and growing public awareness, one of the largest food companies in the world is quietly reformulating its most iconic brands.

This didn’t happen by accident. It’s the result of millions of people asking harder questions about what’s in their food, why it’s there, and whether it belongs in the bodies of children.

When companies make changes like this, they aren’t doing it because it’s good for health. They’re doing it because the pressure finally outweighs the risk of staying the same.

If Big Food can clean up its chips, imagine what else they could fix if consumers refused to settle for harmful, unnecessary ingredients. Imagine what would happen if the entire industry prioritized human health instead of hyper-palatable products engineered for profit?

Removing dyes IS progress. But it’s also a reminder of how much work is left to do. Real change starts when we stop accepting the bare minimum and start demanding better from the companies shaping our food supply.

This is just the beginning.

If you believe it’s time to fix healthcare by fixing food, drop a YES below to preorder Food Fix Uncensored.

When I began digging into why so many patients were getting sicker every year, one truth kept rising to the surface: our healthcare system was never built to create health. It was built to manage disease.

In Food Fix Uncensored, I uncover how we arrived at a point where chronic illness costs us $4.8 trillion a year, where prevention isn’t part of medical training, and where the most powerful tool we have—food—is barely acknowledged in healthcare at all.

But none of this is inevitable. When we treat food as medicine, we can prevent disease before it starts, reduce healthcare costs, and rebuild a system that actually helps people heal.

After studying longevity for decades and visiting the Blue Zones myself, one thing has become clear, it’s not just what you eat or how much you exercise, it’s how much chronic stress you carry.

In Sardinia and Ikaria, I saw people who lived with purpose, moved naturally, stayed connected to their community, and listened to their bodies instead of fighting them. They weren’t rushing, forcing, or pushing through life, and their biology showed it.

Low chronic stress, strong relationships, a sense of meaning, and living in alignment with who you really are, these are the real longevity multipliers.

Healthy food matters. Movement matters. But a peaceful nervous system and strong relationships are what let all of it work.

Thank you for this beautiful post ✨
