Beat the Afternoon Energy Slump: The Link Between Blood Sugar, Energy, and Mood

Ever notice how your energy dips or your focus shifts during the workday?

This Mental Health Awareness Week, Registered Nutritionist Lissa Leader (mBANT) explores the relationship between blood sugar balance, nutrition and mental wellbeing.

For busy professionals, long hours and missed meals can contribute to fluctuating blood glucose levels. This session outlines how the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems shape our stress response, and why steadier blood sugar levels are associated with more consistent mood and energy.

Lissa will also explain the gut–brain connection and its role in overall wellbeing, along with simple dietary adjustments to support balanced energy. You’ll walk away with practical tips for planning healthy meals, stocking your store cupboard, and making everyday choices that support energy, focus and mood - all without adding any extra stress to your day.

Talk Duration: About 30 minutes, plus time for questions and answers.
