<p>You're doing everything “right” with food — and still feel <strong>anxious, exhausted, and disconnected from your body</strong>. Sound familiar? In this episode, Wendy sits down with somatic educator and USA Today bestselling author Luis Mojica to explore the missing link between <strong>what we eat and how we feel</strong>. </p><p><br /></p><p>Luis shares his own journey through trauma and disordered eating, and the breakthrough that became his book Food Therapy: the idea that food is constantly speaking to your nervous system. He explains <strong>“food-induced stress,”</strong> why certain foods quietly trigger fight-or-flight, how to sort foods into <strong>stimulants, depressants, and balancers</strong> — and why your cravings are actually messages about your unmet needs. This is not a diet or a list of rules. It's a compassionate, freeing new way to relate to food, your body, and yourself in midlife.</p><p><br /></p><p><strong>What You'll Learn:</strong></p><p>•       Why even “healthy” foods can push your nervous system into fight-or-flight</p><p>•       The surprising glucose–adrenaline connection behind food-induced stress</p><p>•       How to sort foods into stimulants, depressants, and balancers — and bookend them</p><p>•       How to read your cravings as a compass for unmet emotional needs</p><p>•       A simple embodiment practice to find safety in your own body</p><p><br /></p><p>🎧 Tune in now</p><p><a href="https://themidlifemakeovershow.com/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://TheMidlifeMakeoverShow.com</a></p><p>✨ Watch the video replay</p><p><a href="https://midlifology.net/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://midlifology.net</a></p><p>👉 Connect with Luis Mojica</p><p><a href="https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com</a></p><p>🌟 Explore All Things Midlife</p><p><a href="https://wendyvalentine.com/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://wendyvalentine.com</a></p><p>📖 Order Your Copy of Women Waking Up</p><p><a href="https://womenwakingup.com/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://womenwakingup.com</a></p><p>📸 Follow the fun on IG</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/hellowendyvalentine/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/hellowendyvalentine/</a></p>
