Summary
In this episode, Didi explores the profound connection between the nervous system and nutrition, emphasizing that our eating behaviours are often driven by our body's safety state rather than willpower. She discusses how stress and emotional factors influence our cravings and eating patterns, particularly in women, and highlights the importance of understanding childhood conditioning in shaping our relationship with food. Didi offers practical strategies for regulating the nervous system to foster healthier eating habits and emphasizes the need for compassion in the healing process.
