Most people think of food as fuel, but the truth is, it is also information. Every bite you take sends signals to your brain, your hormones, your gut, and your nervous system. When the body receives clean, nourishing information, it responds with stable energy, balanced moods, and healthy digestion. But when the body is exposed to artificial chemicals, preservatives, dyes, gums, and so‑called “natural flavors,” the signals become distorted. The body becomes confused, inflamed, and overwhelmed. And the symptoms that follow often show up in ways people don’t expect: anxiety, irritability, hormonal swings, brain fog, bloating, fatigue, and even trouble sleeping.
In my practice at Healing Arts NYC, I see this pattern every single day. Women come in feeling frustrated because they are eating “healthy,” yet their bodies are still reacting. They are doing their best, but something still feels off. When we begin testing through Nutrition Response Testing and Applied Kinesiology, we often discover that the issue isn’t the food itself. It’s the chemicals hiding inside it.
