6. Deficiency or Disconnection? How Vitamin Deficiency Affects Your Mood, Energy & Faith
This episode explores how vitamin deficiencies affect your mood, energy, digestion, faith, emotions, and ability to manifest. Especially for Dominicans, immigrants, and first-gen folks navigating wellness between two cultures.
🔹 Segment 1: The Science Behind Feeling Off
Breaks down key deficiencies like Vitamin D, Iron, B12, Folate, and Magnesium — and how they show up as fatigue, anxiety, brain fog, and hormonal imbalance.
Prompts:
- What symptoms have I been ignoring or normalizing?
- What does "tired" feel like in my body?
- What would I need to feel nourished on a daily basis?
🔹 Segment 2: Why It Hits Us So Hard — Especially Dominicans & Immigrants
How the loss of sun, rhythm, and home-cooked food impacts our bodies after migration.
Prompts:
- What foods did you grow up eating that made you feel full and comforted?
- What meals have you stopped eating since moving or becoming busier?
🍽️ Portion Control Is Not Punishment — It’s a Form of Presence
A soft, mindful way to reconnect with your body using your plate as a guide.
Prompts:
- Am I eating until I feel satisfied — or until I feel overly full or disconnected?
- How does satisfaction actually feel in my body when I’m fully present?
🔹 Segment 4: Faith, Energy & the Spiritual Cost of Being Depleted
When the body is drained, it becomes hard to connect spiritually. Inspired by Florence Scovel Shinn.
Prompts:
- Where in your life have you normalized being tired or foggy?
- What are you trying to manifest — but struggling to feel worthy of receiving?
🔹 Segment 5: Confidence, Glow & the Energy of Receiving
Self-worth is tied to nourishment. Your body carries your belief system.
Prompts:
- Where are you saying “I’m fine” — but your body is telling a different story?
- How do you show up differently when you’re well-rested and well-fed?
🔹 Segment 6: Gentle Healing — Testing, Nourishing & Rebuilding Without Shame
Practical steps: what labs to request, how to begin gently, and why food became complicated after migration.
Prompts:
- What’s one gentle shift I can make this week to support my body’s healing?
- How can I remind myself that healing is not linear — but it is real?
🔹 Segment 7: Healing as Remembrance — Honoring the Body, the Land & the Lineage
This isn’t rebellion — it’s remembrance. A return to ancestral rhythms, care, and ritual.
Prompts:
- What part of your body have you been ignoring or resenting — and how can you reconnect with it?
- How did your caregivers talk about food, energy, or health growing up?
🙏🏽 Final Prayer
A personal prayer for energy, clarity, gentleness, and coming home to yourself.
