Fuel Your Brain, Not Your Anxiety

“Food offerings are a universal gesture to show care and support. This workbook highlights a simple formula connecting what we eat to how we feel. It’s especially important during times of high stress. I often suggest ways for parents in the child welfare system to use food as a tool so they can be at their best. I personally use protein for my wellness, performance anxiety, and afternoon fatigue.”
—Ambrosia Eberhardt, family impact statewide manager for the Parents for Parents program at the Children’s Home Society of Washington; and board member and founding member of the International Parent Advocacy Network 

“This is a well-, thoughtfully laid out workbook that profoundly benefits and encourages individuals struggling with anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and fatigue. The reader develops a clear, applicable understanding of relevant neuroscience and physiology while acquiring an effective toolbox to improve quality of life. Each chapter and the appendix provide accessible how-tos, charts, menus, experiments—all designed to accommodate a busy lifestyle and reduce anxiety. A must-read!”
—Andrea St. Clair, MA, SUDP, positive alternative client care coordinator 

“This is a must-read for all clinicians helping clients’ access healthy coping skills. After applying this information in my clinical practice, many of my clients have eliminated or significantly reduced panic attacks, anxiety, irritability, and depression; and improved their relationships. I engage all of my clients in the three-day protein experiment. I love hearing them say, ‘The lizard snacks worked!’”
