These days, stress can feel inescapable. But did you know that what, when, and how you eat can help you deal with stress more effectively?  I sat down with Functional Medicine Dietitian Ali Miller to dive into the connection between stress, metabolism, and the food on your plate. In our discussion, we covered how to know if you’ve got a cortisol issue; using food as medicine to support your adrenals, thyroid, and hormonal balance; and whether intermittent fasting is helpful or harmful.  Plus, we talked about how you can use diets as tools to empower metabolic flexibility and restore your connection to your body’s feedback.  It’s a juicy episode! If you’ve been feeling a little (or a lot) stressed recently, this is information that could truly change your life.  FULL show notes: jjvirgin.com/alimiller Try my protein calculator: http://jjvirgin.com/proteinfirst Subscribe to my podcast: http://subscribetojj.com Learn more about Ali Miller: www.alimillerRD.com Read The Anti-Anxiety Diet: https://amzn.to/44A84vH Read The Anti-Anxiety Diet Cookbook: https://amzn.to/3R1WExv Listen to the Naturally Nourished Podcast: https://www.naturallynourishedrd.com/podcast/ Podcast: Change Your Diet to Help With Anxiety With Ali Miller: https://jjvirgin.com/main-podcast/change-your-diet-to-help-with-anxiety-with-ali-miller-ep-440/ Reignite Wellness™ Sparkling C Powder: https://store.jjvirgin.com/products/sparkling-c-fizz YourLabwork: https://yourlabwork.com/jj-virgin/ Theia Health Continuous Glucose Monitor: https://join.theiahealth.ai/c/jj Designs for Health DHEA: https://amzn.to/3Pk195x Reignite Wellness™ All-In-One Shakes: https://store.jjvirgin.com/collections/shakes Reignite Wellness™ Omega Plus: https://store.jjvirgin.com/products/omega-plus Lumen: https://www.lumen.me/shop?fid=8763&utm_source=influencer&utm_medium=influencer&discount=JJV Enjoy 1 week of Ali’s 12-week Food-as-Medicine Keto Meal Plan: https://alimillerrd.com/pages/free-1-week-keto-meal-plan   Learn more about your ad choices.
