What’s on your plate could be shaping your mood, focus, and energy.

Mental health is about the small, daily choices we make to care for ourselves; and food is a vital part of that.

As part of Mental Illness Awareness Week and World Mental Health Day, MindWell is bringing you a special webinar on one powerful (and often overlooked) choice: what we eat.

Join renowned Canadian mental health pioneer Dr. Bonnie Kaplan for The Better Brain Diet: Eating for Mental Health & Peak Performance webinar. Learn how the food you eat can help reduce stress, sharpen focus, and boost resilience, and walk away with simple, practical tips you can use right away.

As part of Mental Health Month, join us on Tuesday, October 7th to explore how nutrition impacts your mind and learn practical strategies to support mental clarity, reduce stress, and boost performance at work and beyond.

Dr. Kaplan will cover:

• The essential brain nutrients and their profound impact on your mental state.

• The surprising link between your gut and your brain, and how to nourish both for better mental health.
• Overview of public policy initiatives & implications for workplace mental health strategies
• A clear, actionable roadmap for improving your mental well-being with simple, evidence-based nutrition strategies
