What if your emotional ups and downs had as much to do with your plate as your past? In this episode of Essentially Soulful, co-hosts DeeAnna Merz Nagel and Betty explore the powerful link between what we eat and how we feel.

From the hidden role of neurotransmitters and blood-sugar crashes to the brain-boosting benefits of healthy fats, DeeAnna unpacks how modern diets quietly influence anxiety, focus, and mood stability. You’ll learn why skipping breakfast can sabotage your serenity, how to spot the sugar-stress cycle, and why “good fat” isn’t a villain—it’s your brain’s best friend.

DeeAnna also shares simple, doable steps—like keeping a food-mood journal and building a balanced breakfast—to bring awareness and compassion into your daily nourishment.

💫 Takeaway: Every meal is an act of emotional self-care. Tune in to discover how mindful eating can restore balance, energy, and ease.

The ideas shared here are for reflection and learning—they’re not a substitute for professional medical or nutritional guidance.
