Food is medicine. However, what most people don't realize is that there is much more that goes into the selection of food, including one’s mood and behavior. In this presentation, learn about the cutting-edge published science that supports the interrelationship between food and mood, and how to apply these findings in clinical practice. Attendees will gather insights about the role of nutrition in mental health, whether mood defines food selection or if nutrients change food choices, how stress and emotions mediate one's relationship with food, and, finally, a definition of emotional eating and clinical strategies to help patients overcome their challenges in this area.
