Key Takeaways:

“Health begins with digestion.” - Dr. Ivy Norris

“If our digestive system isn't working very well, it doesn't matter what kind of food we eat, it's not going to break down properly in our body.” - Dr. Ivy Norris

“There's a definite mind and body connection when we are present, still, and not thinking about a bazillion things while we're eating. The body is more in rest and digest mode, out of the fight or flight that we often go into.” - Dr. Ivy Norris

“Joy helps us to increase our metabolism and sleep better. Then, everything falls into everything else. So it's great if we could have a joyful, great, and fulfilling experience, as much as possible, even at the dinner table.” - Dr. Ivy Norris

“When we can sit down, get present, and move into rest and digest mode, then, that equips our body to be able to receive the most out of the food that we're eating.” - Dr. Ivy Norris

“One of the major destressers is being outside. Walking, breathing, moving, and expanding your attention out to nature, open the heart and help the mind to get quiet. Oftentimes we have to let go in order to receive the answers that we need or to respond instead of reacting.” - Dr. Ivy Norris
