Summary

This week on The Lo Life, Lo sits down with somatic educator, nutritionist, and Food Therapy author Luis Mojica for a fascinating conversation about the hidden emotional relationship we have with food.

As the founder of Holistic Life Navigation and host of the globally recognized podcast of the same name, Luis has become a leading voice in conversations surrounding trauma, the nervous system, stress, embodiment, and conscious eating. His work has been praised by major voices in wellness and psychology, including The Holistic Psychologist Dr. Nicole LePera.

Together, Lo and Luis unpack how food impacts far more than physical health — influencing anxiety, emotional regulation, stress, mood, and our overall sense of safety within the body. This conversation explores emotional eating, nervous system responses, childhood conditioning around food, and why healing your relationship with food may have less to do with restriction… and more to do with awareness.

A thoughtful, eye-opening episode that may completely shift the way you think about what you put into your body.
