Spotlight on Success Show – Episode #22
Today on my show I had the pleasure of a speaking with Trudy Scott, Food Mood Expert and Nutritionist, who shared her best strategies for how women can reduce stress and anxiety with the help of proper nutrition.
Trudy believes (as do I) that life is meant to be spent feeling well, mentally and physically, and that stress and anxiety don’t have to be the status quo that we accept. In this interview I ask Trudy –
- Do women really need to focus on doing something about their stress and anxiety?
- What are the 3 biggest food-related factors that contribute to stress and anxiety?
- What other dietary factors play a role?
- And, what should you do if you’re eating a healthy diet but are still feeling anxious and stressed?
For more information on Trudy’s expert advice, book or to sign up for her newsletter, please visit her website. Enjoy!
Thank you Trudy for sharing your best tips for how to live a healthier, less anxious and less stressed life.

Shannon and Trudy,
Thank you! Nice interview! Simple and to the point. Food=Mood. Start small but start by having breakfast. Reduce or eliminate caffeine. Eat REAL food. Eat 3 meals a day and 2 snacks. Make sure that protein and/or healthy fats are part of each eating event. Find out if you are intolerant of gluten and/or dairy. Be conscious of zinc, B vitamins, vitamin D and tryptophan. Move and get sunshine.
Thanks especially for making that point that “processed” gluten free food is STILL processed food and to stick to the gluten-free whole grain alternatives. I remind my patients that all processing is a form of breaking down the food before it gets in your mouth, i.e. “predigesting.” When the body has to do nothing on its own to absorb food, that is exactly what you get nutritionally…nothing! Gluten free or otherwise.
