Across anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating, autistic traits appear less tied to weight and more connected to sensory experience, predictability, and self-regulation.

What if some eating disorders aren't primarily about pursuing a body—but about managing a nervous system?

[Wisemindnutrition @wisemind_nutrit]

For decades, eating disorder theory has centered on one question: Why do people want to be thin?

But emerging research on autism and eating disorders suggests that, for some people, that may be the wrong question entirely.

Comment “unified theory” and I’ll send you a copy of my upcoming paper before it’s released!

One size does not fit all…

[Wisemindnutrition @wisemind_nutrit]

Now the science is starting to support that as well

It means we have more agency than we think. It also means we don't have to wage war on the foods that carry our memories. We just need a wider toolkit.

A Knowable Magazine piece this week landed on something I've been saying for years: the comfort in comfort food is mostly in your head — and that's actually really good news.

How much does the food industry affect your food choices?

Is tea safe?
Tea has health benefits, but many mass-market tea bags may contain microplastics and pesticides.
Our choice: skip store-brand tea bags and support small shops with cleaner, loose-leaf tea.

Magnesium is involved in hundreds of vital processes—and stress depletes it fast.

If magnesium ever helped you feel calmer or sleep better, you may be deficient from food alone.

Try it before bed.
One of the simplest levers for mental health.

Are nutritionists are risk of being replaced?
AI can calculate macros, analyze nutrients, and generate meal plans—fast.
But coaching, psychology, accountability, and behavior change?
That’s human work.

The brain and the mind are separate—and their dialogue shapes our habits.

The brain sends signals. The mind creates the story.

Quit something abruptly (caffeine, sugar, nicotine) and write down the thoughts that appear.

What story does your mind tell?

Nutrition support is critical for recovery, and mental health.

We need to do better!

[Wisemindnutrition @wisemind_nutrit]

Let’s talk about nutrition in recovery -

Meal delivery services can be a lifesaver — but they’re best used intentionally.
Once the crisis passes, reconnecting with your kitchen helps rebuild routine, mindfulness, and health.

[Wisemindnutrition @wisemind_nutrit]

Improving mental health starts by asking: what can I change, and what can’t I?
For the rest, functional medicine can offer the data your body’s been trying to tell you — turning insight into action.

We all know to avoid plastic bottles & BPA—but what about the hidden microplastics?
Even “paper” coffee cups can leach plastic into hot drinks.
Our new rule: no heat + plastic. No coffee in paper cups, no soup in plastic containers.

What's your rule?

[Wisemindnutrition @wisemind_nutrit]

Air it out outside or by open windows
Use fans or an air purifier (carbon filter helps)
Vacuum with a HEPA filter
Let warmth or sunlight speed off-gassing
Wait a week or two before full use

To minimize chemicals all together: choose low-VOC or OEKO-TEX certified rugs.

[Wisemindnutrition @wisemind_nutrit]

Did you buy a new rug and it smells a bit "off"?
Before you bring it into your home - follow this checklist to allow the chemicals to dissipate!
