Take 16 minutes to view this video. Radical truth: none of us prioritize our mental health as the most important aspect of our health. What can you do every day to improve your mental health? Or, importantly, what are you doing every day that is actually taking away from your mental health? What is nutritional psychology? Could it be that a significant factor in building strong mental health is as close as your daily food choices?
Re-ignite your commitment to take all of the small daily steps on your health journey that will take you to a new healthier place.

Not surprisingly, our choice of food can have a positive impact on our brain health.
Making changes to your lifestyle is a big undertaking. Old habits die hard, but do not be discouraged.
Your health journey belongs to you. Do not compare yourself to others. You are moving in the right direction and it shows every time you add an additional fruit or vegetable to your meal or choose water over a sugary soft drink. It may take some time to transition, but our amazing team at Choices is here to encourage and inspire you.
BE PROUD OF EVERY SMALL STEP IN YOUR JOURNEY—IT ADDS UP!
You are a leader! You are an inspiration to your kids, your spouse, your siblings, friends and co-workers. If you can make better choices toward a healthier lifestyle, so can they.
