Did you know dehydration is the biggest cause of fatigue, our gut bacteria can virtually hijack our brain and that morning coffee may be responsible for afternoon mood swings?

From nutrient deficiencies contributing to low mood to the imbalance of certain fats making us feel blue, the food we eat has a big impact on our health and how we feel in ourselves.

We asked BANT-registered nutritionist Eva Humphries to break down the essentials of harnessing food for better mood.

Don’t worry, Eva has assured us coffee can remain on the menu, it’s just a case of timing it right.

Thanks to Eva’s relaxed take on nutrition, this talk promises to be full of useable nutrition information that can be implemented with ease.

Here is what you can expect to learn:

- the essential nutrients needed for better mood and the foods that contain them

- building mental resilience with food - yes, this is achievable

- realistic advice to help you get started Plus, you’ll have a chance to ask questions.

Ladies Lunch is an inclusive event that is open to people of all genders, however it has a special focus on women centred experiences. We ask that everyone is mindful of their privilege and give space to more marginalised groups.
