Food as Medicine: Food and Mood

The Food for Mood presentation will be led by Alma Palacios, Foodbank Dietetic Intern. Alma Palacios is a recent master’s in Nutrition and Dietetics graduate from Bastyr University and is currently completing her dietetic internship through Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.

Food for Mood will discuss certain foods and eating patterns that affect how we feel and how we think. This class will look in more detail at some of the reasons that may be contributing to our mood swings, cravings, and fatigue. We will also discuss dietary and lifestyle patterns to help with mood and maintaining energy levels throughout the day.
