The Moon Rules Food: What Your Cravings Are Really Telling You

What if your cravings, fatigue, bloating or skin flare-ups are messages from your body asking for support?

With eclipse season behind us and Venus preparing to move into Scorpio ahead of her retrograde, I’m joined by nutritional and lifestyle therapist Lei-Lana Er for a fascinating conversation about food, health and learning to listen to your body.

Lei-Lana uses nutritional therapy, lifestyle practices and functional testing to support people with chronic health concerns, hormonal imbalances, gut issues and demanding careers. Her clients include actors, musicians and other creative professionals.

We explore why extreme diets and social media health trends can be misleading, how emotional stress may affect the physical body and why personalised support matters. Lei-Lana also shares her remarkable experience of losing her period for 12 years, then restoring her cycle after training as a nutritional therapist and taking a more holistic approach to her health.

In this episode, we discuss:
• What nutritional and lifestyle therapy involves
• Whether food has an energetic or spiritual dimension
• Vegan, carnivore and other highly restrictive diets
• The importance of food quality
• Emotional eating, cravings and nervous system support
• Lei-Lana’s concerns about weight-loss injections
• What symptoms such as fatigue, bloating and eczema may be communicating
• How functional testing can investigate the gut microbiome
• Why health advice needs to reflect the individual
• Lei-Lana’s personal experience of losing her period
• Simple foundations for supporting your health
• How nutrition and conventional medicine may work alongside one another
