If you wear your stress and busy schedule like a badge of honor… this is for you.
I used to be this way, too.
I was raised with the values of working hard, which I internalized as a message to always be working hard. At any thing. At everything.
I would be “happy” on the outside, and inside I’d be crying and screaming to take a nap and be left alone. 🙂
It was all fun and games until I was…
👉 Grappling with a very unhealthy relationship with alcohol
👉 Experiencing constant anxiety and depression
👉 Exhausted every day
👉 Unable to focus on work and was diagnosed with ADHD
👉 Under the constant weight of stress where every. little. thing. felt like it would be the straw to break my back.
If you can relate to this, I want you to learn more about my brand-new online program, REGULATE.
I developed Regulate after years of researching the best ways to use nutrients and foods to help support the nervous system and overcome stress.
Let me walk you through one example that we cover in my newest method.
The Stress → Deficiency → Cravings Cycle
Did you know that stress has a direct effect on your nutrition? Yes, the more stress we have on a regular basis, the more nutrition we need to cover the standard operating functions of the body (like energy production).
When we’re stressed on an ongoing basis, or have experienced points of time with very high stress, this takes a toll on your body, your immune system, and even your gut health. We end up with nutrient deficiencies, or an increased need for, certain nutrients like B vitamins, Vitamin C, Magnesium, Zinc and many others.
Maybe you’re thinking, who cares?
These very nutrients are the ones that help produce energy, support a healthy mood, regulate your immune system and so much more. And don’t forget that deficiencies in these nutrients can cause us to look for more calm outside of ourselves — like sugary foods, alcohol, and other ways to cope with our stress.
So, if you’re having trouble managing stress and allowing your nervous system to feel regulated, it’s time that we chat about food.
I want to invite you personally to join me on this self-guided tour through your habits, unlock the missing pieces to your nutrition habits, and invite more calm into your lifestyle.
This is my brand-new 5 module method to take you from stressed, overwhelmed, and exhausted → grounded, energized, and calm… All using food and nutrition to get you there.
This is the same method that I used to help myself slow down and recover from years of high stress and heavy alcohol use. And one of my favorite parts is the access to laboratory testing to investigate your own nutrient deficiencies.
I was deficient in…
🪫 Vitamin B6
🪫 Copper
🪫 Zinc
🪫 Iron
🪫 Vitamin D
🪫 Vitamin B12
🪫 Folate
🪫 And Vitamin C
And I see nutrient deficiencies with almost 100% of my clients, which means you’re probably depleted, too. This isn’t just another food plan, this is going to help you find exactly what your body needs so that you can support yourself and actually feel better.
Sending you love and permission to slow down.
Xo, Dr. Brooke
