Coconut Chia Pudding

It is filling, nutritious and rich in omega-3 fatty acids to aid cognitive function, neurotransmission, synaptic plasticity and membrane fluidity within our nervous system.

I am currently in my final year at Torrens University studying a Bachelor of Health Science (Clinical Nutrition). I have been so incredibly grateful to see so many patients in student clinic this year, and have found a deep interest/connection to the brain/nervous system and all its ailments.
Everything from of mental health, cognitive function, ADHD, addictions, alzheimers/dementia to depression, anxiety, OCD and eating disorders are so incredibly interesting to me and I would absolutely love to focus on this in my own clinic in the near future.
