Trying to maximize our time to get things done often undermines even the best intentions to nourish ourselves with healthy food. Juggling the demands of graduate school can increase triggers for mindless and emotional eating – further sabotaging efforts to fuel bodies and brains for resilience during stressful times. Join former K-State graduate student Dianna Schalles, Lafene’s Coordinator of Nutrition Counseling, as she shares strategies that have helped her patients ‘fuel better to feel better’-- and in turn, support student success and well-being. Self-care should not have to wait!
This session will be recorded to make the information accessible to students unable to join the live session.
