Nutrition is one of the key ways that I take care of myself. I've realized how important it is to get good nutrition into my body for my mental health.
Imagine finding a way to heal that involves something as fundamental as what you eat. That's exactly what Susan Birch brings to the table in this episode of the World's Best Trauma Recovery Podcast. With over 40 years of experience in health and wellness, Susan shares her personal journey through trauma and how she discovered the pivotal role of nutrition and self-care in recovery.
She argues that addressing trauma isn't just about confronting the past; it's about prioritizing your health and well-being in the present and future. Birch dives into how a balanced diet can significantly impact mental health, explaining that deficiencies in key nutrients can lead to low energy levels and heightened anxiety. But it’s not just about food. Susan also touches on the importance of self-care practices like exercise, meditation, and setting healthy boundaries to protect yourself from toxic influences.
Her Health Detective Program is a fascinating aspect of her approach, focusing on root cause analysis to uncover underlying health issues that may be hindering recovery. The episode also tackles the challenge of self-sabotage, a common obstacle for many on their healing journey. Susan offers practical advice on developing long-term healthy habits to overcome these hurdles. Tune in to hear Susan Birch's unique perspective on transforming trauma into a source of strength and resilience through nutrition and self-care.
