Food Therapy: Luis Mojica on Listening to Your Body and Healing Inner Wounds

Food Therapy, Somatics & Nervous System Regulation: Luis Mojica on Anxiety, Stress, Trauma In this  ⁨@SilverDisobedience⁩  Perception Dynamics Podcast, host Dian Griesel interviews somatic educator and nutritional counselor Luis Mojica about “listening to your body.” Luis explains how somatic therapy differs from talk therapy by focusing on where experiences are held as physical sensations and how PTSD reflects a body still reacting to past events. Mojica shares how identifying sensation, relating to it with presence, and anchoring in the present can reduce symptoms even if memories remain. He connects somatics to his book, Food Therapy: Conscious Eating to Navigate Anxiety, Stress, and Trauma, describing foods as stimulants, depressants, and balancers that can raise or lower stress hormones like adrenaline through glucose spikes and crashes. He argues mood, anxiety, and behavior are strongly influenced by diet, emphasizes agency over identifying with anxiety or trauma, and previews future work on conflict and “tending to rupture,” including how blood sugar affects relationship conflict.Learn More about Luis here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/Grab a copy of Food Therapy: Conscious Eating to Navigate Anxiety, Stress, and Trauma here: https://amzn.to/4qPZR3lPlease SUBSCRIBE!
