SUMMARY:10 Steps to Support Your Brain with Nutrition
DESCRIPTION:Discover how the foods you eat can power your brain! In this presentation\, we’ll explore 10 simple\, science-backed steps to nourish your brain\, boost memory\, support mood and improve focus\, naturally. Whether you’re looking to sharpen your thinking\, reduce brain fog\, or simply feel your best\, these practical nutrition tips will help you take care of your brain “one bite at a time”. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nUnderstand the connection between nutrition and brain health\, including how certain nutrients influence memory\, mood and cognitive function.\nIdentify practical dietary habits or food choices that can support and protect brain function at any age.\nApply at least 2–3 brain-friendly nutrition strategies in everyday life to support focus\, energy and overall mental well-being.\n\nSpeaker bio:\nA brain tumour diagnosis can make the world of nutrition even more confusing and overwhelming than it was before. Add some Netflix documentaries to that\, and you can be left in total fear of food. Susannah Juteau’s primary goal as a Registered Dietitian is to help you navigate the overwhelming amount of information by separating fads from facts. This way\, you can create a personalized diet plan tailored to your preferences\, lifestyle\, budget\, sensitivities and more. \nFollowing a 10-hour brain surgery to remove a benign brain tumour back in 2013\, Susannah suffered with constant\, debilitating headaches\, out-of-whack hormones and completely sapped energy levels. She felt a lack of control and that her body had betrayed her. After trying everything and attending every possible appointment\, she almost gave in to the advice of “just accept it.” Then\, she had a moment of clarity. None of the health professionals ever discussed nutrition with her. She drew on her background in Neuroscience and Nutrition and dove deep into the research\, beyond the generic nutrition information. She now devotes her expertise to helping others navigate\, not only what to eat\, but also when to eat it\, so that they can find their glow and feel like themselves again. \nNutrition has a profound impact on repairing gut health\, enhancing mental clarity and reducing fatigue\, and aiding in coping with stress. A properly tailored plan can also reduce your risk of recurrence and improve medication side effects. Let’s bust through some biases and peel away the fear tactics to leave you with a healthy\, balanced approach to feeding your body. \nRegister
