The Gut-Brain Axis: What Your Therapist & Diet Missed

Aug 07, 2025 5:06 am

Dear ,


You’ve done the work—therapy sessions, food journals, calorie counting, affirmations in the mirror…


But the cravings come back. The anxiety loops. The same old food patterns sneak in.


Why?

Because your healing plan is missing a third voice—your gut.


The Gut-Brain Axis: The Silent Co-Therapist You Never Knew You Had

Science now confirms what ancient wisdom whispered all along:

Your gut and brain are in constant conversation through a superhighway of nerves, hormones, and neurotransmitters.


Here’s the catch:

You can’t talk your way out of trauma if your gut is inflamed.

And you can’t diet your way to discipline if your gut bacteria are imbalanced.


The result?

You crave what hijacks your brain. You avoid what heals. You judge yourself for what is, in reality, a biological imbalance.


Let’s do a quick check-in, :

  • Do you crave carbs or sugar more when you’re anxious or sleep-deprived?
  • Have you felt like you “fail” at every new diet despite your best intentions?


That’s not a weakness. That’s gut-brain miscommunication.

Until we correct the biology of belief—inflammation, neurotransmitter imbalances, poor vagus nerve tone—no therapy or diet can truly hold.


Reply to this email with your one takeaway:

Why do you think you keep craving that food?

Hint: It’s not about willpower. It’s about wiring.


Your gut already knows. Let’s help you listen.


To your anti-inflammatory power,
