If you have experienced trauma, particularly childhood trauma or complex trauma, you probably aren’t surprised to hear that trauma doesn’t only affect the mind. It can affect the functioning of your entire body, including your digestive system.

​In fact, research suggests that about one in five people living with a chronic GI condition also experience symptoms of post-traumatic stress.

If you’ve ever felt like your gut is “overreacting” or “out to get you,” you’re not alone—and you’re not imagining it. Your body may be responding to past experiences in ways that make perfect biological sense.

Metabolic psychiatry has gone from fringe to front-and-center in just a few short years. As a mental health & gut health-focused RD, I've been preaching nutritional psychiatry for a long time, and though I am trained in KMT, I had a lot of hesitancy when I was first asked to support a client with starting the ketogenic diet specifically for mental health.

RD friends, if you're interested in learning what I've learned and digging into the research together, including what we do and what we don't know and ultra-practical tips, I'm hosting a training through Dietitian Central next month!

Every year, I mentor a college student who is studying nutrition or dietetics, and every year, I try to assign them to write a guest post for my blog. It gives them practice writing, communicating nutrition science, etc.

But it's also such an opportunity for conversation about diet culture, disordered eating, our food system, and the role of nutrition professionals in discussing how the relationship we all have with food and with our bodies influences how we eat, how we live, and how we feel. The transformations that this article went through in Renee's and my editing process were testament to that ongoing discussion and to what I hope she's learned from our work together.

Check it out, and great job Renee!

If you or anyone you care about deals with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), you understand how debilitating it can be. The painful, unpredictable, and anxiety-provoking symptoms can be a nightmare and can put a serious damper on anyone's quality of life.

So it's understandable that many different approaches to managing IBS have been tried and explored, both by the scientific community in the form of research, and by everyday people just trying to feel better and make peace with their gut.

Many of the approaches out there have something to do with diet. Whether we're eliminating things or adding things, these IBS diet approaches recognize that eating can often be a trigger for individuals with IBS, and that in some cases, the right foods can help, or the wrong foods can hurt. Yet these diets take many different forms, and sometimes various diets that seem to work for one individual or another might seem downright contradictory.

In this blog post, we'll walk through some of the most popular and some of the most effective approaches to managing IBS with diet.

When you're healing from trauma, your nervous system may feel stuck in overdrive—leaving you anxious, exhausted, or disconnected from your body. The good news? What you eat can help. Certain nutrients play a powerful role in calming your nervous system, supporting brain function, and reducing inflammation.

It's not magic, and it's not a quick fix. If you have dealt with trauma, you know that nothing is. But the changes that happen in your physiology because of trauma are very real, and this is where food can come into play.

In this article, I break down how to use food as part of your healing journey.

We'll talk about prebiotic fiber and polyphenols, omega-3 fatty acids, B vitamins, antioxidants, and vitamin D—plus how to put it all together.
