Kate Cook

In this confusing time, health and wellness are on everyone’s mind. How can we get ourselves into the best possible condition and how can diet and lifestyle help? Rather than doing one thing well, Kate Cook, Corporate Nutritionist, author and speaker of 20 years, suggests we need a few solid wellbeing foundations in place. Diet and Nutrition are of course fundamental, but what else can we do? Kate sessions are vibrant, fun, but with hard-hitting, do-able, and practical messages!

Is Happiness a will-o’-the wisp miasma over which we have little control over? Kate Cook takes you through 6 proven methodologies to capture that apparently elusive ideal state in a bubble of joy. We explore the relationship to our main happiness hormones including, oxytocin, serotonin, and importantly dopamine. We delve into the difference between Happiness and Pleasure and how modern society may confuse the two. Different countries experience different levels of joy so what can we learn from them? Most importantly, Kate encourages you to commit to a couple of the strategies so that you can seize the bliss!

Any new parent, or even a veteran, finds that juggling a job/home/demands of parenting an almost impossible task. Since of course, we always put our children before ourselves our ability to cope is compromised. What is less well known, is how, getting the foundation of a healthy diet sorted, that balances hormones, balances stress responses and gives our bodies and our minds the best chance of managing the many mental stresses of parenthood from a physical perspective first, and then of course, there are many ways to train ourselves and our minds to deal with the stresses that parenthood flings at us. This session therefore, concentrates on the nutritional foundation that creates a steady platform for other coping modalities, such as CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy), or other strategies.
