Food and Mood
Join us for a noontime webinar to discover how your daily diet impacts not just your physical health, but also your mental well-being.
You will learn how the foods we eat influence our gut microbiome, which communicates with our immune system and ultimately affects neurotransmitter signaling in our brains. We’ll delve into the benefits of the Mediterranean Diet for gut health and how to incorporate its mood-boosting principles into any lifestyle.
We’ll also uncover how sugar and refined carbohydrates affect hormones and anxiety levels. You will learn practical strategies to manage the blood sugar effects of these foods, enabling you to consume carbohydrates wisely for optimal health and well-being.
By the end of the session, you’ll have a deeper understanding of the science behind nutrition’s impact on the brain and mood, along with practical tips for enhancing your mental health through diet.
This class will be recorded and a one-week link to the recording will be shared with all registered participants. To receive incentive points, attend at least 80% of the live session or listen to the entire recording within one week.
