However, being bombarded by conflicting nutritional reports, ever-changing confusing nutritional findings, and the latest diets can make it hard to understand how to achieve your optimum nutrition.

    * The mind/brain/body connection and how nutrition is linked to mental health.
    * The truth about controversial foods and conflicting nutritional information.
    * How to understand food labels and nutritional terms, key grocery marketing terms, and genetically modified foods.
    * Making wise food choices when eating at home or out.
    * Inclusion of water, fiber, grains, supplements, and super foods.
    * Popular diets and how they work (low carb, paleo, plant-based, Mediterranean, glycemic index, raw food)
