While the holiday season is often full of family and tradition, it can also be stressful with expectations around trying to make people happy, or even that life is “perfect” when so many people find themselves alone. This month, we heard how nutrtional therapist Jennifer Doctorovich uses personality types, foods that support the adrenals, and stress management techniques like journaling, grounding, yoga, affirmations, and mindfulness to keep emotionally and physically healthy so that the holidays can be enjoyable again.

In this talk, using a blend of science and spirituality, we explored how the root element is what keeps your mind, body, and spirit in alignment so you can create healthy boundaries and stay connected to your body. Plus we learned why stress contributes to a depressed immune system and can lead to a host of autoimmune diseases and even cancer.

Jennifer Doctorovich, NTP, CFSP, began her career in New York as a classically trained actress, where she worked professionally for nearly 30 years. Now as a Certified Nutritional Therapist and functional medicine practitioner in Houston, Texas, her focus is digestive health, hormone balance, blood sugar, gut restoration, and chronic fatigue. Jennifer’s concentration comes from her fitness background which includes nutrition for athletes and performers as well as type A personalities. As a Certified Food & Spirit Practitioner, she has blended her skills as a group fitness instructor, nutrition expert, and emotional healer to focus on past history of trauma and nourishing the creative spirit in each of us.

Every meal is a miracle, a connection with what keeps us alive. Food doesn’t just provide us with energy – we actually transform ourselves through our awareness of eating. Choosing from a healthy diversity of proteins, fruits, and vegetables can ground us in the present moment, anchor us to the earth, and help cultivate healthy boundaries. By eating wisely and consciously, you can learn how to trust your instincts, engage your senses, and create nourishing traditions for yourself and your family.

This month we received an introduction to Dr. Deanna Minich’s Food + Spirit™ detoxification program: Nourish the Whole Self.
