Eating well can look different for everyone, especially when balancing classes, work, physical activity, and everyday life. Join our Nutrition Workshop Series to learn practical, flexible approaches to nutrition that support your energy, focus, and overall well-being.
Led by Mackenzie Michalczuk, Registered Dietitian (RD), these workshops cover a range of topics, from eating well on a student budget, to understanding cravings, supporting hormone health, and navigating nutrition while neurodivergent.
Each session offers practical tips and ideas you can adapt to your needs, preferences, and routine. Whether you're just getting started or looking for new ways to approach nutrition, there's something for everyone.
