  Please understand that she spoke in the same manner as she expected us to eat our meals, peacefully, without stress and in a restful manner. Walking the talk, literally.

  it is VERY important to be mentally calm when trying to digest food. <br><br>Digestion begins in the brain. Not in the mouth or stomach.

  This is simply one of the best lectures I&apos;ve heard about nutrition. &nbsp;I appreciate her taking her time to explain how a sympathetic overdrive surpresses digestion and hence proper nutrient absorption. WE ARE WHAT WE ABSORB AND NOT JUST WHAT WE EAT. I love that catch phrase.

  I’ve chewed my food so poorly since childhood, I’m always in a rush to chew and swallow a meal. Now it’s hard for me to eat slower because I legitimately can’t stand having the texture of liquified food in my mouth 🤷‍♀️
