Did you know that eating dark chocolate can boost your mood?

The foods you choose to eat can truly transform how you feel —for better or worse. Consuming large amounts of sugar-rich foods or poor-quality carbohydrates is associated with a decline in mental health.

To find out what other 6 foods may provide a mood boost, check it out here: https://www.womansworld.com/wellness/mental-health/dopamine-foods-that-boost-your-mood-and-focus-fast?link_source=ta_first_comment&taid=6a18c9115cf5b90001d7d812&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_content=new&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook&fbclid=IwY2xjawSK-oNleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETE0dUYwWEhwakZrWnJ4MmR6c3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHg0mtvQzshq6JvyuZFcQvvNfbzmPMjdW1-HBnZ5MIKj_DYKkfoiBXkm0eAXP_aem_xxSQ2OPFchZTO41WgGgtpg.

As a neuroscientist, I am often thinking about how our genetics impact so much when it comes to our health, which is why I am a huge advocate for genetic testing when possible.

Although genetic testing can’t provide medical diagnosis, it can provide valuable information that can help you understand more about your individualized health and risk factors.

I am proud to be partnering with Sequencing to share their product with you all. Their company offers genetic testing kits and DNA reports for health, wellness, and ancestry.

I highly encourage you to try them out for yourself. I will add the link to their product here: https://sequencing.com/.

Excited to be featured in an article from AOL and Prevention breaking down the science behind sugar cravings and why they can feel so hard to resist.

Sugar activates the brain’s reward pathways in a way that keeps us coming back for more, which is why understanding cravings is key to building healthier habits.

Have you ever heard of the term “exercise snacking?”

Exercise snacking has gained popularity online because it is time-efficient, effective, and has a low barrier to entry.

If you want to learn more about what exercise snacking is and the potential benefits of incorporating it into your wellness routine, check out my recent Psychology Today post!

Link to the full article can be found here: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/food-junkie/202605/is-there-any-truth-to-the-exercise-snacking-trend.

“There is still, unfortunately, this stigma that some people hold, where they think that addictions are a moral failing or that it is the person’s fault who is addicted. And that doesn’t take into consideration the biological factors, genetic factors, or the fact that our environment is plagued with all of these addictive substances…”

We need to start shifting the conversation. Addiction isn’t about blame, it’s about understanding, compassion, and real support.

If you’re interested in diving deeper into this conversation, check out the podcast that I did a while back with Esther Helga Gudmundsdottir on the Food Addiction, the Problem and the Solution podcast.
