Reset and Reconnect: Somatic Strategies to Calm your Nervous System” with Leticia Mayes, See Brighter Days LLC

“Food and Mood” with Nicole Berg-Johnson APNP, FNP-C MSN, Balance Health and Wellness
11:00am in the Senior Center
What we put in our body profoundly impacts mental health. The gut-brain connection is recognized by all of medicine as an integral piece of mental health! Food sensitivities, which are different from allergies, such as gluten, sugars, and processed foods cause brain inflammation. Food dyes cause actual misfiring in the brain, significantly affecting anxiety, ADHD, autism, etc. Learn what these foods are and have a conversation about how to use the information in your life!
