    In this deeply honest and emotional episode, Shilamida opens up about her ongoing journey with food. The cravings, the emotional eating, and the guilt that comes after. Following last week’s conversation on her food awakening, this episode dives into what food freedom really means and why it’s one of the hardest awakenings of all.

You’ll hear how she’s now studying somatics through a 10-month certification with the Soma School of Somatics, and how movement, breath, and awareness are helping her rewrite her relationship with nourishment, safety, and comfort.

    S2 | E07: The Truth About What We Consume

    Awakening isn’t cute at first. When the wool lifts, you start seeing food, products, and “normal” habits with new eyes—and it can feel lonely. In this episode, Shilamida shares her early food awakening: from coupon-clipped fast food and candy-in-class to discovering how fluoride, gluten, dairy, corn, and food dyes were impacting her body, mood, and clarity. She talks about the pineal gland (your “third eye”) and why clearing it matters, the chi/energy of fresh foods vs. packaged foods, and the pivotal teachers and moments that shifted everything—from ditching the Dunkin’ “light & sweet” to reading labels and watching inflammation drop. If you’re standing at the edge of your own awakening, this one is your loving nudge to start with one swap and keep going. In this episode, you’ll hear: Why awakening feels hard before it gets easy (and why that’s normal) Fluoride, pineal gland clarity, and seeing through conditioning The energetic difference between real food and packages with no chi Early, practical swaps: toothpaste, gluten/dairy/corn, food dyes How inflammation shows up—and how quickly your body can respond Giving yourself permission to learn, experiment, and choose better daily Mentions & ideas referenced: Acupuncture school lessons on nutrition & chi (Dr. Dave Mainetti) Kinesiology testing and discovering sensitivities Books/voices referenced in passing: Wheat Belly, Dr. Joe Dispenza Recommended by Shilamida Remedy - your starter path to cleaner living.
