The Role of Nutrition when Supporting Stress and Anxiety, Low Mood and Depression

Jen McDiarmid | Nutritional Therapist

Jennifer is a Nutritional Therapist with over 7 years’ experience working in the field of Nutrition and Wellbeing. Jennifer runs a private practice seeing clients on a 1:1 basis as well as working with various Charities and Businesses throughout the South of England. Jennifer’s approach to nutrition is to help people understand their body, what their needs are and practical ways to help them achieve their true health potential. This helps the people she works with feel educated, positive and motivated about the changes that they will make. Nutritional Therapy is a recognized complimentary medicine and is therefore suitable for people who simply want to make some positive lifestyle changes, or those who have a chronic health condition.

This nutrition and wellbeing talk will look at the current research linking the role of the gut and gut bacteria with depression, stress and anxiety whilst explaining how to address any imbalance to increase our natural production of serotonin. Following on from this, the talk will move into the area of stress, how we can tell if we are stressed and the impact this can have on us not only emotionally but also physically reducing our ability to absorb key nutrients, impacting our energy, our sleep, our liver and our immune system.

Electronic notes and recipes will be provided for the participants at the talk.

Target Audience: ALL ADULTS
