87 - Food and Toxins: Break Free from the Fear

In this episode I talk about the fear of food and toxins that many people have in the health and wellness space. I dive into why fear has no place in holistic health and wellness, and how it can actually make you sicker and more stressed. I share some tips on how to overcome the fear of food and toxins, and how to make the best choices for your health and budget. Encourages you to listen to your body and see how different foods affect you, rather than following the fear mongering of others. Some of the key takeaways are: 
- Fear of food and toxins can stem from removing certain foods or food groups to heal your body, or from being exposed to too much information and misinformation about the dangers of certain foods or substances. 
- Fear is detrimental to your health, as it can cause inflammation, stress, and anxiety. It can also prevent you from enjoying the foods that nourish your body and soul. 
- You can overcome the fear of food and toxins by doing the best you can within your budget, buying the best quality food you can afford, and making small changes as you go along. You don't have to be perfect or avoid everything that is not natural or organic. 
- You can also overcome the fear of food and toxins by listening to your body and seeing how different foods affect you. You can reintroduce foods that you removed while healing, and see if they cause any negative symptoms or reactions. You can also experiment with different foods that are in season, and that you like and enjoy. You don't have to follow the rules or opinions of others, as your body knows best what it needs and wants. 
- Do not fear food, as it is meant to nourish your body, mind, and soul. Food is not the enemy, but a friend and ally. Enjoy it and appreciate it, and don't let fear ruin your relationship with food.
