Safe Foods, Sensory Overload and Complex Fatigue

Are you living with complex fatigue and finding that noise, light, touch or certain foods feel “too much”?

This week, our CEO and Registered Nutritional Therapist, Kirsty Cullen, explains how sensory processing and nervous system safety intersects with food preferences.

Watch Kirsty now to discover:

  • What “safe foods” are in a sensory context
  • Why you're likely to reach for comfort or “beige” foods during periods of stress or lethargy
  • How this links to regulation rather than failure or “fussy eating”
  • How nutritional therapy can support nourishment while gently widening food choices

Nutrition plays a big part in energy production.

That's why navigating these periods in a way that's healthy for your brain and body is so important for someone experiencing chronic fatigue.
