What If Our Food Is the Problem?

Brain fog. Fatigue. Mood swings. Memory issues. We’re told it’s stress, aging, or just “normal”—but what if it’s actually your food?

In this episode of Sister Sharpens Sister, we dig into how the Standard American Diet (SAD) is failing our brains. From sluggish thinking to chronic inflammation, we break down how poor food choices can quietly sabotage your mental health and energy—and what you can do to turn things around.

We share our own experiences, talk about simple physical and mental habits that support brain health, and offer a few go-to recipes for nutrient-packed meals that fuel clarity, focus, and better mood.

🧠 You’ll learn:

• What foods help and hurt brain health

• How movement and mental exercises improve focus

• Why the SAD diet leads to more than just weight gain

• Our favorite brain-friendly meals and snack ideas

If you're ready to clear the fog and feel sharper, this conversation is for you.
