SHARING YOUR EXPERIENCE

Sharing your story is not about being perfect! It’s about helping others understand your experience and how your improved diet has positively impacted the way you feel. Below are a few questions to help you write, but please do not feel restricted to them.

    • What were you experiencing in terms of your mood, behavior, and mental health before you made the transformation to a healthier dietary intake pattern? What changed when you incorporated a healthier dietary pattern?
    • Was there a specific ‘triggering’ event in your life that helped you decide to improve your nutrition?
    • In what ways did changing your diet affect your mood, behavior, and mental health? Any other changes?
    • What other areas of your life improved as you made these changes in your diet?
