Her book Dr Leslie Korn - Nutrition Essential for Mental Health - A complete Guide to the food-Mood Connection is an excellent source guide for helping us understand what we can do to use food to heal. http://www.drlesliekorn.com
In our conversation Dr. Korn helps us to reflect on whether it is possible to use what we eat to help us heal after trauma; the connection between stress and food and how food can be used to increase or decrease inflammation in the body.
Dr. Korn recommends learning about your ancestral or historical nutritional needs were to guide your current needs as well as recommended foods and foods to avoid.
Challenge for YOU! - Select foods that are best for your recovery that reduce inflammation in the body.
- Know your own historical/ancestral food needs.
