Sleep is king.  But with 1 in 3 people in the UK thought to be affected by insomnia and sleep difficulties, it can be challenging, and with the dark days and a cold start to 2026, anything that helps our mood would be very welcome, wouldn’t it?

Join us at beautiful Lounge at the Saltdean Lido to learn about the connection between nutrition, mood and sleep quality, how we can change how we feel through the food we eat, and what nutrients (and importantly foods), can support our sleep.

Thursday 29th January, 12-1pm

Good cholesterol, bad cholesterol, triglycerides. Statins.  Fat is bad.  Fat is good.  Low fat is good – or is it bad?  There is a lot of information out there, and with influencers, adverts, social media and supplements aplenty, how do you know what is right?

Evidence and science is the key – join BANT-registered Nutritional Therapist Kathrin from Optimal Nutrition for the next Nutrition talk at the Saltdean Lido, to look at the jargon, understand what it all means (in an accessible and clear way!), and to see what we can do to influence cholesterol levels through food.  Because we can – and it can be delicious, too!

As part of the Saltdean Lido Community Wellness Initiative, this talk is part of a series of events hosted by Kathrin Leaver-Fielding at Optimal Nutrition. For more information about other events, freebies and personalised nutritional therapy, visit www.optimal-nutrition.co.uk

“One cannot think well… if one has not dined well” (Virginia Woolf).  So what needs to be on our plates to feed our minds?  And how can we support brain health as we move through life stages?  Nutrition evidence suggests that cognitive decline may be influenced by the food we eat, and with Alzheimer’s affecting one in 14 people over the age of 65 in the UK, understanding how we can nourish our brains – in a way that is achievable and can be maintained, should be on everyone’s to-do list.

Join us as we look at the nutrients our brains need, from childhood through to healthy latter years, with practical tips and examples of places that are doing it well.  It will give you something to think about!

This talk is the last in a series of events hosted by Kathrin Leaver-Fielding at Optimal Nutrition. For more information about other events, freebies and personalised nutritional therapy, visit www.optimal-nutrition.co.uk
