How therapists are using the rituals of eating to treat victims of trauma

So fabulous how the rituals of eating and food preparation are being used as medicine. This is kind of a no-brainer and rather obvious, but for some reason it has taken us forever to get to this place. This is what Hella Delicious is all about and we are very excited to see this movement really taking off and making headway into mainstream medicine.

Another great option is to check out Lumen Natura who is a culinary therapist and more.
