Description

Nutrition is a valuable yet often missing piece of improving emotional and mental health. The average person dealing with low mood or anxiety isn’t aware of how food choices play a role in their well-being and indeed, the field of nutrition is still learning about this important area. In this recorded session, you’ll get the latest information and a concise, easy-to-understand path to supporting emotional health through simple nutrition changes. Take home effective strategies to decrease anxiety and depression and to work with clients on changing their thoughts and behaviors about food so that they achieve small goals to create lasting change.
