Upcoming Webinars

October 20, 2026:  The Science of Cravings

Understanding why we crave certain foods goes far beyond simple hunger. Cravings are shaped by a complex interaction between the brain, hormones, emotions, habits, and even our environment. From the sudden urge for sugary snacks to emotional comfort eating, science reveals that cravings are deeply connected to how our bodies and minds function. During this free, online Statewide Wellness Program Lunch and Learn Katie Godin, RD, LDN from LifeStyle Medical Center will discuss the biological and psychological factors that drive cravings, how they influence our choices, and what research tells us about managing them in a healthier way. After a brief presentation, Katie will demonstrate how to make one of her favorite healthy muffin recipes!

Date: October 20, 2026

November 17, 2026: Gut-Friendly Habits for Winter Health and Wellness

During the winter months, changes in weather, routines, and eating habits can have a significant impact on our digestive health and overall well-being. Colder temperatures often lead to heavier comfort foods, less physical activity, and increased stress, all of which can affect the balance of healthy bacteria in the gut. Since the gut plays an important role in digestion, immunity, energy, and even mood, maintaining healthy habits during winter is essential. Sign up for this free, online Statewide Wellness Program Lunch and Learn where Katie Godin, RD, LDN from LifeStyle Medical Center will be discussing simple and practical ways to support gut health through nutrition, hydration, movement, and lifestyle choices during the colder season. After a brief presentation, Katie will then be demonstrating how to make a high fiber pasta dish great for healthy comfort food this winter season!
