what's this course about?
This course provides evidence-based information about the power of nutrition and its connection to your mood. Our world is changing rapidly and our eating habits are changing with it. Food has taken on a more prominent role in our lives as we spend more time at home cooking for ourselves and our loved ones. As we face health challenges, we're becoming more aware of the need to take more care of our own health and wellbeing. While the scientific evidence behind the power of good nutrition has grown, there's still a shortage of well researched advice online.

Discover which foods and habits could undermine the nutritional value of your food and disrupt the digestive processes that support healthy brain function.
