A book to change the way you view food.




Currently I am reading an amazing book that quite possibly might change the way I eat and view food. It was given to me by my holistic counselor I have been seeing Jill McLaughlin. The book is called Nourishing Wisdom by Marc David. Basically he describes the importance of addressing the emotional and spiritual aspects of our lives in order to truly nourish ourselves. As someone who has struggled with food issues for many years I can highly recomend this read. I think especially here in our country food has become something that is both confusing and scary for us, instead of being a source of true nourishment. We focus too much on how to get "skinny" and instead of nourishing our own unique body types. Marc the author simply states that often the way we view food is the way we view the world. We often live afraid of food or calories, salt, sugar, carbs, fats, whatever it is instead of living in harmony with and in love with the food God has so lovingly given us. If you're as tired as I was of that cycle then this book is calling your name.



May you be truly nourished.
