What if the food you ate today already decided how much conflict you can handle? I sat down with Luis Mojica, Somatic Educator, Certified Holistic Nutritionist, and author of Food Therapy, to talk about something most of us have never connected: the direct link between what we eat and how safe or threatened our nervous system feels. We get into his framework of food as stimulant, depressant, or balancer, and how understanding that shift can change your relationship to stress entirely. From there, the conversation opens into something even bigger: conflict. Luis shares his own story of growing up in an intersex body and facing years of bullying and harassment, and how that experience shaped his life's work in helping people move through disagreement and division without shutting down or attacking. We talk about "over couplings," the difference between being triggered and actually being unsafe, and practical tools for staying present in conflict, whether it's with a partner, a family member, or someone on the opposite side of a political divide. This is a rich, generous conversation, and one I think a lot of us need right now.

You're responsible for your words. But what gets triggered in my body is mine to tend to." - Luis Mojica "The more capacity you have, the less you'll get triggered. You'll disagree, and you'll have preferences, and you'll be like, I don't like that, but you won't get triggered." - Luis Mojica "It's literally discerning the difference between discomfort and threat." - Luis Mojica "When you get really comfortable with conflict and you have more capacity for it, you're not triggered. You end up doing more." - Luis Mojica food and nervous system, somatic nutrition, food therapy, conflict transformation, nervous system regulation, trauma and conflict, over couplings, trauma healing, polarization, political conflict, holistic nutrition, somatic healing, trigger vs threat, deep within podcast, Luis Mojica
