“The body feeds how the mind feels.”
How many times have you found yourself questioning your satisfaction with how your mind interacts with the rest of your body?
You’re feeling down - you crave.
You’re rushing - you crave.
You’re anxious - you crave.
You’re tired - you crave.
Your mind is telling you an abundance of information that maybe if you were to pause you would see the relationship between what your body feeds and how your mind feels. Most of us were taught to treat the body and the mind as separate problems. In fact, the narrative continues despite the lessons of the pandemic.
One aspect of the body goes to the doctor. The other sits in the therapist’s chair - if we even ever consider doing so.
But time and time again, research elucidates the importance of awareness, that what you put into your body is not just fuel. It is information. And your mind is listening to every bite.
This week, we slow down to fully process what is happening to our bodies, how we feel after a meal.

Your gut and your brain are in constant communication. Imagine 90% of your Serotonin is produced in your gut in the presence bacteria and other conditions. This means what you eat affects more than your waistline. It affects your mood. Your emotional baseline. Your ability to focus.
Weekly Poetry
The body feeds how the mind feels,
a theory we tend to take for granted,
an idea we generally leave for last minute,
until moments feel crucial,
and time seems short.
The body feeds how the mind feels,
and you get to decide,
because you are in the middle, holding the link
so they never break.
Original Poem by: J. Chicot, MD
Building Your Story
As you look at this image, what story comes to mind.
Are you ready to start tracking what your body is telling your mind?
Are you ready to pay attention to how you feel after a meal?
Are you ready to pause for second and evaluate the bloating, nausea, vomiting, acid reflux, heartburn, or maybe mood swings, sadness, and the like due to what you have been eating?
This is where the healing begins. In Awareness.
And this is why I created The Clinical Adherence System using the Odyssey Adherence Framework. For people who have been struggling to manage the unspoken factors that contribute to turmoil within managing a newly diagnosed, undiagnosed and complicated chronic illness.
For 6 Months, you will observe your behaviors, your metrics, your diagnostics with key wins in mind:
Better Blood Sugar Control
Better Blood Pressure Control
Early management of complications
Early change in medication (as needed)
Better organization of management (all in one place)
Contrary to other planners, this is a system, built with the patient and the provider in mind.
