In this episode of the podcast, we discuss connections between food and mental health with guest Che Burnett, a counsellor with The Calgary Counselling Centre.
Some of the things we chat about are:
Slowing down and being being mindful when we eat can help reduce the stress and anxiety caused by our hectic busy lives.
The dopamine affect - it feels so good but watch out for the crash!
Especially for youth, feeling a connection to our ancestry through traditional foods enjoyed with family can help give us a sense of belonging and identity.
When it comes to nutrition, Che shares his insight into some specifics, but reminds us to aim for a balanced diet of whole food for optimal mental health.
And don't forget to start the day with water (IYKYK)!
