Summary

Did you know that digestion starts in the brain? That relaxing before a meal releases more digestive enzymes? Why do we sometimes tolerate a wider variety of foods on vacation, and tolerate fewer foods when we're under stress? When we're using food as medicine, how do we navigate feelings of fear, grief, and deprivation and find joy in eating again? The mind-body connection is real, and nowhere is that more clear than when it comes to diet and nutrition. In this podcast, we answer these questions and more.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Phoenix Helix podcast dedicated to maximizing autoimmune health through the paleo
0:05.8	diet and lifestyle. While there is no cure for autoimmune disease, the choices we make every day
0:11.4	can have a powerful impact on how we feel. I'm Eileen Laird, your host from PhoenixHelix.com, and I reduced my
0:18.8	rheumatoid arthritis pain by 95%, which took me from a life of excruciating
0:24.7	pain and disability back to a full and beautiful life. A short disclaimer, I'm neither a doctor
0:30.8	nor a nutritionist and the opinions expressed here are personal. Always consult with your

1:09.2	It can also inspire feelings of guilt.
1:12.4	For many people, cooking is an expression of love,
1:17.9	while for others it feels like a burden. Food can evoke feelings of communion, social connection,
1:23.8	memory, tradition, and even identity. This is true for humanity in general, but it's even more complex when you're on a healing diet. There's the gratitude for food being medicine combined sometimes with feelings of deprivation,
1:31.6	rebellion, and grief.
1:33.6	My guest today is an expert on this topic.

1:40.3	He's also the author of two books, Nourishing Wisdom, a Mind-Body Approach to Nutrition and Well-Being, and the Slow-Down Diet.
1:49.0	Today, we'll be exploring in-depth the intersection of the mind and body when it comes to the food we eat and how it impacts our health.
