How to Use Food Cravings as Feedback of Your Nervous System States with Luis Mojica

Since my time in graduate school for somatic psychotherapy, I have shared with anyone who would listen about the connection between somatics and nutrition. It has felt absurd to me that food was never talked about in my somatic studies. 

In my PhD interview, I passionately shared that I believe there is a need to bring the field of nutrition into somatics. 

This has been a 20-year journey where I'm seeing that others have also been trying to combine these fields. One of those people I'm thrilled to bring back onto the podcast.

In this week's episode, I chat with Luis Mojica, Somatic Educator, certified in Holistic Nutrition, and author of Food Therapy, about: 

• How Luis also came to combine the fields of somatics, nutrition, and trauma
• Food as a witness to your darkest moments
• What different foods will do in your nervous system
• The importance of titrating balancing foods into your meals
• Owning the choice to lean on food 
• Somatic practices to move through cravings 
• Discovering what your most craved foods are trying to do for you
