panel discussion on nutrition and mental healthI attended the Nutrition Society Winter Conference held at the Royal Society of Medicine to discuss the interaction between nutrition and mental health. I presented a paper entitled “The impact of diet-based glycaemic response and glucose regulation on cognition: Evidence across the lifespan” and took part in a Q and A discussion panel on nutrition, cognition and emotion with Dr Crystal Haskell-Ramsey, and Professor Martin Yeomans.
