Ever wondered how veterans can navigate the unique nutritional challenges they face after serving in the military? Join us for an enlightening conversation with Gina Iovino, a dedicated functional nutrition coach specialist with firsthand experience of military life through her three Marine brothers. Gina shares her inspiring journey of focusing on helping pre-diabetic and diabetic women lead healthier lives to prevent serious conditions like heart disease and Alzheimer’s. We dig into the nutritional hurdles veterans encounter when transitioning back to civilian life, from food and alcohol overindulgence to the necessity of a stable, supportive environment.
We explore a holistic approach to nutrition and wellness that benefits both body and mind, crucial for veterans readjusting post-service. Gina underscores the importance of daily gratitude and the supportive nature of social media communities. She emphasizes that food is a form of communication, advocating for mindful eating to aid in a smoother transition. Plus, we introduce practical tools like the Reveri and Think Dirty apps to help veterans make informed dietary choices, and caution against the indiscriminate use of supplements without proper research and understanding of individual needs.
Wrapping up with practical tips, we focus on the significance of omega-3 supplements and suggest Dr. Daniel Amen's Omega Squeeze as a delicious and effective family-friendly option. We also highlight the dangers of processed foods with artificial colors, recommending organic and natural brands like Simple Mills for healthier alternatives. As we conclude, we reflect on the powerful connection between thoughts and reality, encouraging listeners to foster positive thinking to shape their desired reality.
