Yeah I think that’s an important line to walk: the conversation between the body and the mind. A lot of people in my life seem to really struggle with body awareness. They wait for the signals from their bodies to reach a certain threshold before paying attention. It’s like waiting until your car’s low fuel light is flashing before starting to look for a gas station.

On the other hand, you can go too far… But maybe that’s a good thing? The placebo effect is real. Any time I take supplements, especially when the science is mixed, I wonder whether the supplement actually works or if it’s just placebo. But at the end of the day I don’t care which. I still take my vitamin D in the winter, my vitamin C when I start to feel a cold coming on.
