There are many beautiful foods support trauma healing, but today I want to focus three of my favorites with you. The cool thing about incorporating nutrition as a healing tool on your healing journey from trauma back to yourself is that it is one of the most accessible ways and one of the habits that is a bit easier to tweak, because you do not necessarily begin something completely new, you can easily start by only adding one good thing to your plate. One ingredient at a time, one meal at a time, you can achieve big changes for your health and trauma recovery.

Why Health is a Personal Responsibility

As 2021 is coming to a close with policy makers worldwide urging for the individual to take responsibility for the health of others as a sign of solidarity, the question that echoes is: Is health a personal responsibility or can we expect others to endeavor healing for us and make us healthy?

Let me be so bold: The healing journey is a personal endeavor. Health is a personal responsibility. Here’s why.

Why is Magnesium Good for Anxiety?

Anxiety is a common symptom many experience as a result of unhealed trauma. When considering a holistic approach to recovery, healing might be facilitated by supporting your body with a focus on specific nutrients. Mindfully incorporating foods high in these nutrients or supplementation can make sense to provide your body with the nutrients it needs to manage the effects of traumatic stress. Magnesium is one of these nourishing and soothing nutrients that can support your body in being able to calm down, and in managing your blood sugar.

What Mental Health Means

In this day and age, we have become fond of the term “mental health”. There’s a mental health awareness month and celebrities engage in openly sharing their mental health struggles online. The bravery to share is applauded, but the focus on mental health as a disease is still incredibly narrow.

So, what exactly does mental health mean? How do you “have” it? How come someone does not? How can you really heal?

Warming Pumpkin Spice Porridge

To manage stress (and your blood sugar levels), a filling, satisfying, balanced breakfast and regular meals are key.

And one of my current favorites is this: A Warming Pumpkin Spice Porridge

Soulistic Travels

After intense stressful periods, or just for the fun of it, we seek travel and adventures to uplift our spirits and feel better, lively, rejuvenated. Here’s the thing. Travel itself is not only the romantic version of the best moments we get to experience. Travel can become a stressful and taxing experience for our bodies and souls. So as much as adventures and travel elevate the spirit, they also require plenty of happy compromises. And because my heart beats for exploring our beautiful planet and adventures, I have put together my tips for making it easier to maintain your balance while travelling and to create these happy compromises yourself right here!
