Those who attended learned about:

- Tips, tricks, and tools to easily create your unique good mood food and wellness lifestyle plan.
Here are some highlights of what we discussed, and related reference materials.
- We had a lively and engaging Q&A during the webinar. Here’s a link to a Q&A document that addresses questions we could not get to during the webinar because we ran out of time.

Hi Jerry,
Thank you for your comment. It is a very comprehensive self-assessment, and as such requires an investment of time to complete it all in order to create a personal or customized plan based on your unique needs. I believe you will find it helpful if you are interested in using food as medicine or to eat your way to better health.
