If you are one of the four people who suffers from a mental health condition, it might surprise you to hear that nutrition is your new secret superpower to better mood, productivity, focus, energy, and mental functioning. Your gut is your second brain. When your gut is under stress or suffering from inflammation, so is your brain. Manage depression, anxiety, brain fog, ADHD, and fatigue, and discover how to Feed Your Health with brain nutrition.
In this course, I help walk you through small meaningful, but sustainable habits to support your mood, hormones and mental health using the following guiding principles:
Nutrient density. Acknowledging and fuelling what the brain needs to work optimally. The carbs, the right fats, enough protein, and the micronutrients--the vitamins and minerals that keep our mood stable, our minds clear, and our emotions level.
Anti-inflammatory. A diet that controls inflammation, aims to recognize and take out inflammatory foods, and supports anti-inflammatory pathways. Depression and other mental health conditions are result of brain inflammation that affects the way we think and feel.
Blood sugar regulation. For levelling out our emotions, staying mentally and emotionally stable, and preventing anxiety and "decision fatigue" so you can always feel like yourself.
Feeding the microbiome. Recognizing that we're not alone, the trillions of little bacteria that live within us also support our mood and brain function and part of learning how to fuel our bodies, is learning how to fuel these little guys.
You get lifetime access to the videos, text, downloads, and eBook. Work through the lessons at your own pace and take on the Weekly Challenges for 4 weeks, to slowly build sustainable brain-feeding habits over time.
