In this talk, Karen and Romina will explore practical ways in which we can use everyday activities to maintain our physical health and functional independence.

Romina will delve into the crucial role nutrition plays in supporting brain health, sustaining energy levels, balancing hormones, and promoting cellular vitality as we age. Discover evidence-based nutritional recommendations and practical strategies to enhance cognitive function, bolster energy reserves, optimise hormonal balance, and safeguard cellular health. From nutrient-rich foods to essential lifestyle habits, learn how to empower yourself to thrive at every stage of life.
