| This week I’m sharing my latest interview with Monica Cassani, creator and blogger at Beyond Meds: Everything Matters. I reached out to Monica last year sometime and we hit it off. One of the topics we really connect around is the intersection between food and the psyche as your body integrates, upgrades and detoxes on the healing journey.
Monica has seen the mental health system from both sides – as a social worker and as a person whose life was severely ruptured by psychiatric drugs. Beyond Meds documents and shares many natural methods of self-care for finding and sustaining health in body, mind and spirit.
In this interview, we talk about:
- The relationship between food and the psyche
- How healing and detoxing with whole foods can actually unearth past memories and emotions
- Why informing yourself with science AND your own inner knowing is key to finding out what works for you
- What your gut health has to do with your emotional and mental health
(Yes, the replay will continue to be available after the interview airs Wed. March 10th, 10:00AM Pacific)
Monica also shared with us a PDF that includes her story as well as a compilation of blogs from Beyond Meds that specifically address the topics of food, food sensitivities, gut health and healing from psych meds.
Obviously, this is a rich and broad topic that brings up a lot of room for discussion, learning and sharing around changing relationship to food, food sensitivities and how to support holistic healing as you ‘wake up.’ Hop onto the Shades of Awakening Facebook page to share your thoughts on this interview and join the discussion!
Enjoy!
