Food and Your Mood: Monday, November 2 from 6:00 to 7:00 pm via Zoom. Register via Eventbrite. Food and your mood are more connected than you may think! Anxiety, depression, memory, stress, and attention are all influenced by what you eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner (and anything in between). Understanding the interactions between what we eat, how we feel and what we think or feel empowers us to care for ourselves body, mind and spirit. Jesse Haas, functional nutritionist and co-founder of Wellness Minneapolis, will share some doable strategies for uplifting mental wellbeing in a time when maintaining a positive outlook is a daily struggle.
