My Nutritional Therapy Toolbox: The Food & Mood Journal

If you’ve ever felt like your bloating, gas, or energy crashes are completely random…

This one’s for you.

Because here’s the truth.. 

They’re not random.

You’re just not seeing the patterns.

What you eat is only part of the story.

How, when, and even the mood you’re in when you eat. 

All of it matters.

That’s why one of my favorite tools in my Nutritional Therapy Toolbox is the Food & Mood Journal.

It’s not flashy.

It’s not complicated.

But it’s invaluable.

Here’s what it is:

A 5-day deep dive into your real-life habits, not just what you eat, but how your body responds.

You’ll track:

• Everything you eat and drink
  
  

• What time you eat
  
  

• Your mood and energy levels throughout the day
  
  

• Bowel movements and digestive symptoms (yes, we go there)
  
  

• Physical activity and how long you sit at your desk
  
  

• Medications and supplements
  
  

Basically… everything that matters but rarely gets talked about.

Yes, it sounds like a lot.

Because it is.

But it’s so worth it.

Why?

Because this is often the first moment my clients see the patterns.

The 2pm snack attacks.

The bloating that always shows up after that “healthy” breakfast.

The afternoon slump that hits only on the days you skip protein.

The glass of wine that quietly wrecks your sleep and your gut for days after.

The simple act of writing it all down brings clarity.

It builds awareness.

It kickstarts your ability to connect the dots between your choices and your symptoms.

Even before we start supplements or protocols, many of my clients start feeling better just from doing this journal.

They start thinking differently.

They shift from “What’s wrong with me?” to “Ohhh… I see it now.”

That shift is everything.

To be clear, nothing is “wrong with you”.

Your symptoms are your body asking for support; we just need to listen.

This journal is one of the most powerful tools I use.

Not just because it gives me insight, but because it gives you insight, too.

So if you’re dealing with frustrating symptoms like diarrhea, bloating, gas, or energy crashes and you’re ready to stop guessing…

It’s time.

Let’s figure out what’s really going on.

It’s not just about what’s on your plate.

It’s about the patterns of your daily routine.

Your transformation might just start with a pen and paper.

Let’s get to work.

To healthier days and happier bellies.
