as an individual to to choose them and to implement them in your life i'm so pleased that you came on dr miguel because i think for me eating is such a uphill battle like specifically having to decide what to eat every single day and it just takes up so much mental energy

The amount of times I've almost dreaded dinner time approaching, because for me that is like, okay, now I need to think, I need to decide what I want to eat, I need to go to the supermarket, I need to buy all of the different ingredients to make this thing that I've been told is healthy, and it's just exhausting.

And that's just one day, and then it repeats, and it repeats.

If someone is struggling with consistency, and they do find the idea of...

Eating well, exhausting, and having to make good decisions.

Somebody in that position, what is some advice that would make their life easier?

And it's honestly fascinating.

I think without even realizing it, I think my anchor has always been pasta, tuna, and cheese with jalapenos.

And the jalapenos have to be dry and not stored in liquid, so they're crunchy.

And that crunch gives me the sort of offset against the soft pasta and the sort of soft tuna as well.

I'm similar to you.

I mean, I wear this outfit

all of the time.

Yeah, so that's the thing.

I have like six or seven versions of the same outfit because I love the t-shirt, this jacket is really nice, and I feel safe in it.

And I suppose, like,

The sensitivities and the softness and I suppose the sensory challenges and the textures, how does that complicate the nutrition landscape for somebody who potentially has sensory challenges when they come to deciding what they want to eat?

Yeah, it does, yeah.

I mean, it has made me think, because I never thought that texture with food was a block sometimes.

Like, if someone gives me scrambled egg on something soft, then I can't eat it.
