Let’s keep talking
Congratulations on completing Food and Mood.
We hope you enjoyed learning about how the foods we eat affect our mental and brain health, the mechanisms of action between our gut and our brain and the ways in which we can make positive dietary behaviour changes.
This may be the last step in the course, but it won’t be the end of our conversation. Feel free to visit the weeks and steps that you found the most intriguing and explore the research papers.
Published research in this area continues to grow, and with the knowledge gained from the latest and cutting edge studies used in this course, you’ll be able to keep up with the evolving evidence with confidence.
Let’s stay in touch. Be sure to keep up to date with the latest Food and Mood Centre news and research, and follow us on Twitter or follow Tetyana.
It’s been wonderful being on this journey with you. Good luck and best wishes!
