After a hugely popular Optimum Nutrition for the Mind workshop in 2019, we’re excited to be bringing it back for 2023!
Dr Hyla Cass, Psychiatrist, on Nutritional Medicine:
“In my experience this approach works far better than medication. it is the future of an enlightened psychiatry.” Dr Hyla Cass states “Nutritional medicine should be mainstream in psychiatry.”
Patrick Holford, the pioneer for Nutritional Therapy in the UK and Founder of the Food for the Brain Foundation, will be hosting a one day workshop on everything he has learnt in over 35 years of exploring nutrition and mental health. Learn practical ways to:
