Food for Thought and Healing: The Gut-Grief Connection

Grief doesn’t just weigh on the heart – it affects your whole body.
The connection between grief and the gut is especially significant, helping to explain the wide range of symptoms that often follow a major loss, including digestive issues, fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, and more.
As part of the York Dead Good Festival, I'm hosting an interactive workshop where we’ll explore how grief impacts your body and share simple, practical changes to what, when, and how you eat that can support your mind and body through the ups and downs of grief.
You’ll walk away with:
✔ Insights into what may be behind your grief symptoms
✔ Understanding of what food cravings reveal about your body’s needs
✔ Practical tips on how your meals influence mood, energy, and emotional resilience
✔ Simple ways to create a balanced, nourishing daily meal routine
✔ Strategies for managing comfort eating
Drawing on both my personal experience and professional expertise, I’ll offer actionable tools – simple meal ideas, easy food swaps, natural remedies, and self-care practices – that have helped many navigate grief with more ease and less overwhelm.
