Before You Start a Diet: Understand Your Motivation through a Trauma Healing Lens

Join Galina Denzel, SEP and somatic dietitian Shannon Buescher, SEP in this insightful conversation about the role of the nervous system in shaping our relationship with food and motivation. As the New Year begins, many feel pressure to reset their habits and improve their health. But how can we align with our natural rhythms instead of societal expectations? How can we begin to be exquisitely attuned to our own physiology and understand if what looks like motivation is a trauma adaptation or we are really following our inner compass well.
In this video, you’ll discover:
🌿 How cultural and seasonal mismatches affect our energy and food choices
🌿 The nervous system’s role in decision-making and nourishment
🌿 Why listening to your body’s natural rhythm fosters lasting change
🌿 How to move from a place of high stress or shutdown into a state of balance
🌿 Practical ways to rebuild trust with your body and your relationship with food
✨ "The wisdom of the body is always there, even if it’s hidden behind clouds of stress, overwhelm, or cultural noise."
If you’re ready to approach food and nourishment with greater compassion and curiosity, this conversation is a must-watch.
