ASP 004: 4 Easy Nutrition Tips for More Happiness from Terra Rose Ganem of Body Brilliance

My guest this week is Terra Rose Ganem.  She is CEO / President of Body Brilliance as well as a Speaker & Holistic Nutritionist. Terra delivers a ton of value in this podcast!  She gives 4 easy tips on how we can use nutrition to produce more Serotonin (aka the Happy Hormone) and balance out Cortisol (aka the Stress Hormone). 

Nutrition Hacks to help us feel happy

Serotonin, the Happy Hormone – is mostly created in our gut.  Gut Health is VERY important.  Unfortunately, many people do not have a very healthy gut.  Here are a couple quick and easy tips on how to heal your gut.

Gut Health Tip #1:  Hydration

Gut Health Tip 2:  Probiotics

Cortisol Leveling Tip 1:  Eat 3-5 meals per day

  • 7am, 10am, 12pm,2:30pm, 6pm
  • Set alarms and don’t ignore them.
  • Set aside 5 – 10 minutes
    • protein smoothie for breakfast
    • fruit and nuts for a morning snack
    • salad for lunch
    • celery & hummus for your afternoon snack
    • protein and veggies for dinner
  • This will help your blood sugar level out and cortisol levels to balance out.Helps with mood swings.
  • 60% Augmenting Foods / 40% Extractive Foods – More on this and images found here on www.halepule.com.


  • Take the time
  • Chew your food!  30-40x per bite. Digestion and good health begins in the mouth. 🙂

Honey, you need to chew your food because you don’t have teeth in your intestines.

Cortisol Leveling Tip 2:  Take time for yourself   

  • Allow yourself 5 minutes of space for yourself.
  • No technology, nobody else, just sit and breath.
  • This will slow down your mind and balance out the cortisol.

Discover tips and tricks on how we can keep ourselves healthy when we are in a relationship with an addict. You can also hear from holistic health and wellness professionals that share insight into keeping yourself well. Although Melissa confesses she does not have it all figured out, through the help of seminars, life coaches, and wellness professionals she has been able to work through her feelings of sadness, guilt, and shame associated with having two younger brothers struggle with drug addiction. After one brother passed away, she decided that his death would not be in vain. Only recently after watching Johann Hari's Ted Talk: Everything You Know About Addiction is Wrong did she decided to take action by focusing on inspiring hope and change by providing love and support to friends and family members of addicts. “Be the change you wish to see in the world” - Gandhi
