Jonathan Humphries, Chris Mumford and Jon Hazan are joined by Rhaya Jordan (https://www.linkedin.com/in/rhaya-jordan- 9994b515/), nutritional consultant as they explore the topic of honing your gut instinct in achieving inner immunity and personal resilience. Big advocate for not limiting yourself and enjoying food, both “good” and “bad”, Rhaya’s key message is to understand your gut and enjoy your nutritional journey!Throughout this second episode of the Hospitality Resilience Series , Rhaya touches upon many topics with a key message of individualism in diet and refraining from restraining. After an introduction into wholistic leadership by Chris, Rhaya immediately delves into the impact nutrition has on our mental wellbeing and its relation back to our gut. Through real-life examples, Rhaya demonstrates the immediate effects we face on a daily basis through poor nutritional choices, yet if we understand our bodies, easy adjustments can be made, consequently improving productivity and mental health. Continuing on, the hosts seek to further understand our gut’s importance, responsible for 90% of serotonin production and “the open fire” or source of contentment as described by Rhaya. In order to achieve this positive state of being through diet, Rhaya poses easily implementable actions to ultimately, find what works best for each individual and get curious. Besides trying out different foods, meal times and even fasting schemes, Rhaya offers various tips to reduce comfort-eating, subsequently reducing over-eating. In the session, food addiction also popped up and the impact of trigger foods on this.
