Episode notes
Guitar Sparked Somatic Shift That Changed His Life
- Luis Mojica discovered guitar playing at age 15 brought him fully into his body and focused his ADHD symptoms.
- That embodied shift led him to change his diet, study nutrition, and later see diet reverse many mental health symptoms.
Gut Inflammation Drives Brain Symptoms In Neurodivergence
- Trauma and neurodivergence are expressed in nervous system biology, not only as mental events, linking gut inflammation to brain inflammation.
- Luis connects gut microbiome inflammation to vagus nerve and then brain inflammation, which amplifies neurodivergent symptoms.
Make Every Meal Greens Beans And Protein
- Eat three things at every meal: greens, beans, and protein to support a diverse microbiome and neurotransmitter synthesis.
- Aim for a handful of greens, ~1/2 cup beans, and a palm-sized protein to boost amino acids like L-tyrosine for dopamine.
