Good Mood Food Nutrition Workshop: What you need to know:
The food we eat has a profound effect on our mood and mental wellbeing. Bodies of evidence now suggest that our diet is as important to mental health as it is to physical health.
The right balance of nutrients and vitamins is essential to creating happy hormones — dopamine and serotonin — and keeping our cognitive functioning firing on all cylinders. Blood sugar levels need to be suitably balanced to avoid the fatigue and low mood that come with a sugar crash.
Did you know 95% of your serotonin is produced in your gastrointestinal tract, and 70% of your immune system can be found in your digestive system? All the more reason to keep your intestinal microbiome topped up with the right bacteria.
60 minutes. Led by a Harley Street BANT-accredited nutritional therapist. In-person UK or virtual worldwide.
What this Good Mood Food Workshop covers:
Led by a Harley Street nutritionist, this insightful 60-minute workshop will cover:
- The link between certain foods and poor mental health
- Understanding what to eat to help make “happy hormones” and boost the body and mind during times of stress, overwhelm and poor mental health
- Key nutrients, vitamins and minerals needed to support mood
- The fascinating connection between the mind and the gut (otherwise known as the “second brain”)
- How to navigate caffeine and alcohol when it comes to mood and anxiety levels

Why this matters
- 95% of serotonin is produced in your gastrointestinal tract
- 70% of your immune system lives in your digestive system
- The gut is now widely recognised as the “second brain” — and nutrition is one of the most under-utilised tools for supporting mental wellbeing at work
- One of the most cost-effective wellbeing interventions an organisation can make: A nutrition workshop costs a fraction of mental health absence, yet addresses one of the foundational drivers of mood, focus and resilience
Workshop outcomes:
After the session, participants leave with:
- A clearer understanding of how food affects mood, energy and cognitive function
- Specific food strategies for supporting dopamine, serotonin and gut microbiome health
- Recipes and practical meal ideas they can apply that week
- A reframed relationship with food — fuel for mental wellbeing, not moralised choice
- Confidence to navigate the food-mood-stress relationship across their working life
When this Good Mood Food workshop is the right fit:
- Mental Health Awareness Week (May): A genuinely different angle on MHAW programming — nutrition is rarely included, and lands well.
- World Mental Health Day (10 October): Strong moment for the food-mood connection.
- Nutrition & Hydration Week (March): The natural moment for nutrition-led wellbeing content.
- You’re addressing low team morale or fatigue: Often a downstream symptom of nutritional patterns the team hasn’t reflected on.
- You’re building a sustainable performance programme: Nutrition is the unsexy foundation that determines whether everything else holds.
Particularly valuable for: Professional services and financial services where chronic stress affects food choices; growth-stage tech where takeaway culture dominates; consulting firms with high-pressure deal cycles; healthcare and frontline teams where shift work disrupts nutritional patterns.

What clients say
It was fantastic and delivered in a friendly, supportive, non-patronising way.
It was so informative to learn about how nutrition can impact hormones and understanding how little changes in my diet can promote more balance within my body.
Just a huge thank you for an absolutely brilliant nutrition presentation today, it was so well presented and informative. There was lots of chat and discussion in the chat and positive comments. I can’t thank you enough.
How this workshop pairs with others

Good Mood Food: Nutrition for Mental Health Workshop: FAQs
How is this different from your Eating for Energy workshop?
Eating for Energy focuses on stable energy and focus through the working day. Good Mood Food focuses specifically on mood and mental wellbeing — the gut-brain axis, dopamine and serotonin production, navigating caffeine and alcohol. Many organisations book both as a complete nutrition programme.
Is this appropriate for teams that include people with eating disorders?
The workshop is delivered with care, avoiding language and content that could be triggering. For organisations with specific concerns, we can pre-discuss content adjustments.
Will this make my team feel guilty about their food choices?
Specifically no. The facilitator works from evidence-based nutrition, not from food moralising. There are no “bad foods” lectures, no impossible meal plans, no judgement.
Is the workshop appropriate during Mental Health Awareness Week?
Yes — and it’s a genuinely fresh angle. Most MHAW programming focuses on conversation and awareness; bringing in nutrition addresses one of the foundational drivers of mood that most workshops miss.
Can the workshop be tailored to our context?
Yes. We adapt for sector, team context, and specific themes (stress eating, sustained pressure, shift work, hybrid working).
Do you deliver to international teams?
Yes. Virtual delivery works across North America, Europe, the Middle East and APAC.
What does it cost?
Tailored pricing based on duration, format and whether you’re booking standalone or as part of a programme. Multi-workshop bookings are priced more favourably. Book a discovery call and we’ll send a quote within 48 hours.
