Welcome

Welcome to Who Needs Preservatives, where we uncover how additives, preservatives and allergy causing foods impact mood and mental health. Discover how closely your nervous system is tied into your overall mental and physical health. For instance, you may become anxious, sad or both as you come down from eating sugar. Lack of balanced nutrition may also cause you to feel more restless, agitated and anxious.

Attaining balanced physical and mental health is intentional and requires dedication, so I’m glad you’re here. It’s a great step in learning more about your wellness. Reading labels, understanding what is and isn’t a preservative, how it all fits in with your individual needs and preferences, all takes dedication. So let’s explore, share and learn together, because who needs preservatives?
