The link between ACES, mental health, and substance use disorders is undisputed. However, you may be surprised to learn that your mental health during recovery may be influenced to your diet. On July 12, the Washtenaw Families Against Narcotics (FAN) Family Forum will be focused on stories of hope and exploring how food can be used to combat anxiety and improve mood and cravings.
Join us Monday, July 12 at 7:00pm EST (4:00pm PST) for a timely discussion with Dr. Kristen Allott, MD, MS, and Natasha Duarte, MS, authors of a new workbook, Fuel Your Brain, Not Your Anxiety: Stop the Cycle of Worry, Fatigue, and Sugar Cravings with Simple Protein-Rich Foods.
As many people struggle with chronic anxiety, fatigue and depression, they experience cravings and addictions to soothe these discomforts. Kristen and Natasha are passionate about helping you develop tools to improve the body’s power supply. The result? Less anxiety and cravings, and more energy and mental clarity to support a more engaged life.
Designed for those in recovery and their family and friends — along with anyone wishing to learn more about fueling the brain — the July forum will offer tools available for all food traditions (vegan, vegetarian, omnivore, religious, cultural or social).
You’ll learn:
- How food impacts decision making
- How your “reactive-lizard” brain increases your symptoms of anxiety, irritation and cravings
- How your “smart-responsive” brain can calm those challenges
