2026 Schedule (New Zealand Standard Time)
Thursday 16th July 2026. 12.30 – 1.15 pm (NZST): Boost Your Brain Health
In this 45-minute seminar, you’ll explore ways to:
Nourish your brain with foods that stabilise energy, improve mental clarity, and support emotional balance.
Approach implementing strategies in practical and realistic ways, designed to fit into everyday life rather than requiring drastic changes. Whether it’s improving hydration, choosing nutrient-dense foods, or reducing harmful dietary habits, each approach is grounded in real-world application.
Personal reflection. Instead of trying to change everything at once, you’ll be encouraged to identify one strategy that feels achievable for you right now. This focus on small, consistent action makes it easier to build lasting habits that genuinely improve how you feel day to day.
