The Nervous System Eats First: Autism Spectrum, Menopause & Beyond1 Juli 2025

If You Feel Off in Your Body, It Might Be This... (And It’s Not What You Ate)

Your cravings are not a willpower problem. They are your nervous system speaking first.

In this episode, Dr. Stacey Denise is joined by mindset and movement coach Nadia Murdock for a conversation that challenges diet culture, reclaims emotional safety, and reframes movement as medicine — not punishment. If you have ever felt shame around food, burnout in wellness spaces, or disconnected from your own body, this episode brings the science, the softness, and the strength to help you come home to yourself.

This is not about what you ate. It is about what your nervous system has been carrying.

What You'll Discover:

Why cravings are your brain's SOS signal — not a character flaw

How movement becomes nourishment instead of punishment

Cultural stigma, survival patterns, and why healing looks different for women of color

Journaling, breathwork, and sensory rituals for nervous system recovery
Why emotional eating is a biological response, not a behavioral failure

This Episode Is For You If:

You've struggled with food shame, emotional eating, or diet culture burnout
You feel disconnected from your body or unsafe in wellness spaces
You're a woman of color navigating health systems that weren't built for you
You're ready to reclaim movement and nourishment on your own terms
