Most people don't know that every few hours they're actually inducing a fight or flight response due to what they're eating. In this episode, Britt sits down with Luis Mojica, a trained Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, Herbalist, Holistic Nutritional Counselor, Life Coach, and author of Food Therapy, to explore the powerful connection between nourishment and the nervous system. Together they unpack how our eating patterns can unintentionally keep the body cycling through stress responses, why healing our relationship with food goes far beyond diets or protocols, and how survival patterns, shame, and nervous system states shape the way we approach nourishment. Luis also shares his personal journey into this work after navigating chronic illness as a child, offering a compassionate, body-centered framework for understanding food through the lens of regulation, curiosity, and nervous system support. If you have ever felt confused about what your body actually needs or noticed how food impacts your mood, energy, and stress levels, you’re going to love this episode! And make sure to pre-order Food Therapy, out on April 28th!
