Please join me for a full 1 day seminar to learn about the powerful connection between food and mood, and anxiety specifically.
“The Antianxiety Food Solution: Calm the Anxious Mind, Improve Mood & End Cravings”
I’ll be doing 3 talks in northern California in these locations and on these dates:
Tuesday, November 13, 2012 at 8:30 AM – 4:00 PM in Palo Alto, CA
Wednesday, November 14, 2012 at 8:30 AM – 4:00 PM in Oakland, CA
Thursday, November 15, 2012 at 8:30 AM – 4:00 PM in Sacramento, CA
The fee of $89.99 includes course materials. You can register here http://www.pesi.com/search/detail/index.asp?eventid=14682
These are PESI seminars and are geared towards mental health professionals and are also open to the public. They are delivered as a live event with Q & A at various times during the presentation. I’ll be covering all the latest research on food and mental health, as well as practical steps for implementing changes.
There is much recent research supporting the food mood connection and here is one recent study:
Davison KM, Kaplan BJ. 2012. Nutrient Intakes Are Correlated With Overall Psychiatric Functioning in Adults With Mood Disorders. Canadian Journal of Psychiatry. 57:85-92
This study looked at Canadian adults with mood disorders. Intake of carbs, fiber, total fat, linoleic acid, riboflavin, niacin, folate, vitamin B6, B12, pantothenic acid, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, iron, magnesium and zinc were measured and “higher levels of nutrients equated to better mental health.” (This study was included on my poster presentation at the 2012 Anxiety Disorders Association of America conference)
One of the study authors, Dr Kaplan, PhD was quoted as saying: “Doctors should consider counseling their patients to eat unprocessed, natural, healthy foods and refer them to a nutrition professional if specialized dietary consultation is needed.”
If you can’t make the event in person, a great resource is my book The Antianxiety Food Solution: How the Foods You Eat Can Help You Calm Your Anxious Mind, Improve Your Mood and End Cravings, available in major books stores, at Amazon and via www.antianxietyfoodsolution.com
All the best for the seminars Trudy – shame I live on another continent!
Thanks Heidi – Australia is on the horizon….
I Tweeted this for you so that people in that area might see and attend. You have so much to share!
Thanks Sue, I appreciate this. I’m excited to be doing these in my home state and home town too!

Hopefully more folks will learn about you and what you are speaking about.

Thank you for this: “Doctors should consider counseling their patients to eat unprocessed, natural, healthy foods and refer them to a nutrition professional if specialized dietary consultation is needed.” I have been suffering from horrible SI joint pain, and I understand food could be the source of my issues … it’s taken a lot of time and doctor’s visits to get to this solution though. I wish you could help educate all docs! 🙂
Hi Carmen
I’m sorry to hear you haven’t been getting solutions and hope you have found someone to help. Please let me know if I can be of service – I do one-on-one consulting with people all over the world.
Trudy
Hi Trudy,
This looks great! I’m really bummed that I’m not going to be able to be there. LOVE the book (I bought two copies so I could share one with others). Your information is excellent and much needed.
Be well,
Mira
Thanks Mira – I do appreciate all your support always! and always share your wonderful review of my book!
Trudy, I’m sharing this with my sister in Palo Alto. She and I are both trying to get my dad to pay more attention to his food for many reasons.
Thanks for all the work you do — it has such value!
Grace
Thanks Grace and perfect for your sister. I didn’t know you have a sister up in northern CA! Let’s hook up when you come for a visit!
How great that you are teaching teachers — a great way to leverage your message. Lucky clients of those professionals that they will have these new tools in their treatment toolkits! You ROCK! XO, Katherine.
