In Session With Marc David: A Woman Dives Deeper Into Food Sensitivities
https://psychologyofeating.online/ss/
Are you ready to transform your relationship with food in a lasting and meaningful way? What if you could help others find the path to greater freedom and joy with food as well? ??
Marc David, founder of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating, speaks to Kathy, a 38-year old woman diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease, Celiac disease, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and chemical sensitivities. She comes to Marc looking for help in making peace with food restrictions she’s had to put into place to ease her autoimmune reactions. Listen in as Marc helps reframe some of the ways she’s been perceiving her challenges, and gives her some surprising advice about the usefulness of strict food rules in healing her body.
Key Insights:
? Autoimmune conditions and chemical sensitivities can have numerous causes; among them can be a triggering event of some kind — whether a physical, environmental, or emotional trauma.
? When traumatic events happen early in life, our young brains are not always able to process them - and this can lead to physiological dysfunction later in life.
? Taking on the role of family mediator or “helper” as a young child can create a psychological pattern where one learns to prioritize others’ needs over their own. As a result, a hyper-alert, anxious, and stressed state develops that affects our physiology, including our immune system.
? Creating a nourishing relationship with food, reducing stress as much as possible, getting into nature regularly, and using tools such as meditation and breathing techniques can help to reduce autoimmune symptoms
? A highly useful program for people with autoimmune issues and chemical sensitivities is DNRS or the Dynamic Neural Retraining System.
