Our understanding of mental health has evolved to a more comprehensive model that acknowledges nutrition as an influential factor. Research highlights the role food, micronutrients, and gut health play in determining our risk of developing mental health issues, as well as our ability to thrive with conditions such as depression, anxiety, and ADHD.
This three-part series of 75-minute online workshops includes information about three pillars of nutritional approaches to mental health: diet, micronutrients, and the microbiome. You will learn how micronutrients and the microbiome impact common conditions like depression, anxiety, and ADHD, and dietary strategies commonly used to support mental and cognitive health.
