ABOUT THE WEBINAR:
Deficiencies in specific nutrients have been associated with impaired cognitive function, including decreased attention, learning, and memory. A nutrient-rich diet has been linked to improved cognitive abilities and dopamine production and enhanced academic performance. Marla will help educate us on the underlying mechanisms and identify potential dietary interventions to promote improved cognitive function.
