I love your point about how we obsess over body metrics but fear looking in to our minds. So true. I feel as though I’ve done a lot of inner work in the last few years as there’s so much great content to read and learn from but it’s actually much harder to measure progress with this than say measuring body weight or cholesterol! There’s a just general awareness that I can look at things differently now compared to a few years ago but it’s always a work in progress!

Really enjoyed this! And didn’t know the meaning behind wabi-sabi (in my mind I thought you might have been alluding to wasabi brain as in spicy/peppery thoughts which is also kind of cool!). Fascinating the profound influence of Descartes today - perhaps why nutritional psychiatry is such a new field. Felice Jacka from what I understand really struggled to recruit participants for SMILES because psychiatrists/psychologists didn’t believe food could be an adjunct tool in depression at the time
