Stress and digestion & blood sugar balancing foods
When you experience prolonged stress you can suffer from bloating, fatigue, indigestion, mood swings and increased craving for, for instance sweets or alcohol.

Our stone age brain is hardwired to help us survive. Our brain overestimates threats coming at us and underestimates our resources for dealing with them. In ancient times this helped keep us alive. In modern times, with a kaleidoscope of stressors, this bias impedes us. Understanding the ways our brain tricks us and by choosing what we want to focus on helps us to create a happier, calmer and resilient brain. This simple method based on the latest scientific insights uses the power of daily experiences to 'wire' your brain towards resilience.

"2blossom's sessions were incredibly insightful and helped me with my (quite rare) liver condition. Through deep-dive into medical research, Laura provided many pages of science-based recommendations for healthy eating, natural supplements, and lifestyle that helped me tackle the symptoms all in consultation with my treating specialist ******************************** I now eat healthier than ever and recognize the signals my body sends me. If you're overwhelmed by the wealth of diets and information out there, I'd highly recommend Laura's help to figure out what works for you!"

"2Blossom's chair massages are in one word amazing. In 20 minutes I'm completely relaxed and I feel enough energy for the rest of my working week. 2Blossom's massages contributes to a pleasant working environment. That we were named 'a great place to work, is in my opinion partly thanks to 2blossom."
Coffee, certain energy drinks and nicotine turn on the internal "fight flight" system.

Coffee is fine, just drink it in moderation, especially if you are stressed - however tempting.
Chair massage is a proven effective way to prevent headaches, back and/or neck complaints. Want to learn more about how chair massages work? Have a look on our chair massage page.
