There is a growing body of evidence to demonstrate that the food we eat affects our mental health and plays a significant role in our overall wellbeing. For example, dietary changes have been successfully trialed in the treatment of clinical depression. The positive effects of good gut health also extend to improved mental performance, which is important for those in mentally demanding jobs.
AccessEAP offers employees the opportunity to receive a consultation with a nutritionist for advice about dietary changes to better support their wellbeing. Employees are entitled to one nutrition consultation as part of their EAP session entitlement.
The nutrition coaching service can assist employees with:
- understanding the impact of food choices on brain function and emotional health
- identifying symptoms associated with food choices
- understanding desired health outcomes
- healthy eating tips to optimise wellbeing
