Managing Stress with Nutrition

When you’re under stress, do you automatically reach for potato chips or cookies – and then eat the whole bag instead of just one? 

In this 90-minute workshop, you will gain an understanding of how consuming traditional “comfort food” leads to greater stress on your body, altering your metabolism and negatively impacting your health. Rethinking your diet in favor of whole foods is actually more comforting in the long run. Through a presentation and discussion, you learn to:

* Control cravings

* Manage blood sugar spikes and crashes

* Move toward a whole-foods diet and away from “dieting”

* Incorporate herbs and supplements for stress relief into your regimen
