About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today I'm thrilled to be joined by Dr. Sarah Peterson, a renowned nutritionist and the instructor of the new certificate program "Nutritional Strategies for Coping with Stress". Sarah, welcome! GUEST: Thanks for having me, excited to be here! HOST: So, let's dive right in. Could you share some personal experiences or insights that led you to create this course? GUEST: Absolutely! I've seen so many patients struggling with stress and anxiety, and often their diets were lacking essential nutrients. I wanted to develop a course that equips learners with practical skills to manage stress through nutrition. HOST: That's fascinating. Are there any current industry trends that you're excited about in relation to this course? GUEST: Yes, the growing awareness of holistic healthcare and the connection between mental health and nutrition is a significant trend. People are increasingly open to exploring dietary interventions for stress management, which is great! HOST: Indeed, it's an exciting time for the industry. Now, what challenges have you faced in teaching this subject or working in this field? GUEST: One challenge is cutting through the noise of fad diets and misinformation about nutrition. It's crucial to provide evidence-based knowledge and separate myths from facts. HOST: Absolutely, that's so important. Looking to the future, where do you see the field of nutritional strategies for stress management heading? GUEST: I believe it will become an integral part of stress management training for healthcare professionals. As we learn more about the gut-brain axis, I expect to see even more emphasis on the role of nutrition in mental health. HOST: Dr. Peterson, thank you for sharing your insights and for creating such a valuable course. We're excited to see how this program will help learners improve their well-being! GUEST: Thank you, it's been a pleasure!
