WHY TAKE THIS COURSE
Sleep and sound nutrition are widely recognised to be essential to mental health
– this day gives you an opportunity to learn about these two areas in depth,
including the role of the Microbiome.
A greater understanding of these two areas can be vital in freeing ourselves
from the ‘mind-only mindset’ to help us quickly and effectively resolve many of
our difficulties in life.
Sleep has always been integral to the human givens approach and this course is a
chance to catch up on recent advances in understanding and evidence as to which
approaches best help with poor sleep. We will explore how sleep allows for the
physical recuperation, learning and emotional regulation that are key to
improving many mental health problems.
The role of food and the microbiome in mental health is seldom part of managing
the immediate challenges we face, yet is so important in preventing
difficulties, or maintaining recovery, that it is an area in which we can
benefit from feeling greater confidence when guiding and advising our clients
(or ourselves!).
Throughout the day, tutor and GP Andrew Morrice
[https://www.humangivens.com/person/dr-andrew-morrice/] draws on the latest
research and his decades of experience managing the complex combination of
mental and physical health problems in General Practice (20 of those years,
using the Human Givens model), to take us on a deep dive into two of the key
interfaces between mind and body: sleep and food, and their effects on our
health.

pain syndromes and fatigue states, plus

refreshed and emotionally prepared for the next day

mental health and physical health

* How and why processed foods undermine and confuse our innate guidance systems
* An understanding of the many other factors impinging on our ability to
‘forage’ well in the modern ‘food environment’
