Join Emily Penn, Functional Nutritionist, explore the connection between nutrition and mental health, including the roles of blood sugar balance, gut health, inflammation, and key mood-supportive nutrients. You’ll learn practical, approachable strategies for nourishing your brain and body through the seasonal transition, and building habits that can support mood, energy, and resilience throughout the fall and winter months.
