Food & Mood: A Cooking Demo for Mental Wellness

  • Advanced Wellness 1351 King Avenue Columbus, OH, 43212 United States (map)

What we eat doesn’t just fuel our bodies—it deeply influences how we feel, think, and show up in the world. Join Registered Dietitian Lauren Blake for an immersive evening that brings the science of nutrition and the joy of cooking together in one meaningful experience.

In this demo, Lauren will explore the powerful link between gut health and mental well-being, breaking down how certain foods can help regulate mood, reduce stress, and support a clearer, more balanced mindset. She’ll guide you through a series of approachable, mood-boosting recipes designed to nourish both body and mind—and inspire you to bring those same benefits into your everyday meals.

After the demo, sit back and enjoy a delicious, chef-style meal featuring nourishing recipes—paired with wine and good conversation. Whether you're looking to eat more mindfully, improve your gut health, or simply discover new recipes that make you feel good, this evening is for you.

  • A live cooking demo led by R.D. Lauren Blake

  • Insights on the connection between food, gut health, and mental wellness
