Our inner voice vs actions.
Where does your inner voice go just before you take in nutrition? What does it say and what is it trying to accomplish? Is it talking and are you listening? Are outside forces and demands drowning it out? Are you reserving a sliver of your own consciousness for your own wellness? 💪

Sleep aids that are not melatonin or ZMA?
I love my ZMA but I've read I should cycle off of it once in a while. I absolutely hate melatonin, it leaves me groggy. Does anyone recommend any other other over the counter sleep aids? I don't need anything strong, I just need to take the edge off since I usually exercise late at night.

I am in therapy for food dependency/childhood trauma. Right now I use food as a coping technique. I stuff my face when I’m sad/stressed/overwhelmed/angry, etc. This works for me because I can literally do it anytime or anywhere. Running late? Grab a box of crackers for the car. Kids being needy? Eat while you’re helping…
