About This Course

Your studies prepared you for your career and your upbringing prepared you for adulthood, but neither of those gave you any scientific understanding of how your eating habits impact your performance at work, at play, or at home. Whether you are young or have become aware of the reality of aging, your eating habits have a direct impact on your longevity, your ability to avoid sick days, as well as how well you are able to concentrate, perform under stress, make smart decisions and maintain high energy and a good mood throughout the day (and evening!). With today’s scientific understanding of the role of macronutrients (i.e.: carbs & fats) and micronutrients (i.e.: vitamins & minerals), combined with behavioural science and the psychology of habits, there are many ways in which we can all enhance our cognitive performance without the need for expensive supplements or relying on excessive caffeine.

This course includes a downloadable EBook.
