Diet and Nutrition

Free 1-hour workshop on how your food choices are silently killing your productivity, and what to do about it. ### **You're not unproductive. You're underfueled.** You show up every day ready to perform, but by mid-morning the focus is already slipping. By 2 PM you're running on your third coffee. By 6 PM you're completely done. Most people blame their schedule, their sleep, or their stress levels. But here's what nobody is talking about: the food choices happening throughout your day are directly shaping your energy, your clarity, and your output. And most professionals have no idea it's even happening. ### **Event Agenda** 6:00 PM – Doors Open & Guest Arrival 6:00 – 6:30 PM – Networking Session 6:30 – 7:30 PM – Workshop 7:30 – 7:45 PM – Q&A Session 7:45 – 8:30 PM – Networking & Refreshments ### **What This Workshop Is About** *Your Performance Plate* is a free, one-hour live workshop designed to show you exactly how workplace food habits are quietly costing you hours of productive, high-quality work every single day, and what to do about it. This isn't a diet talk. It's not about eating perfectly or overhauling your life. It's practical, science-backed nutrition knowledge applied specifically to how you work, think, and perform. ### **What You'll Walk Away With** * A clear understanding of why energy crashes, brain fog, and afternoon slumps happen and what's actually driving them * The specific food patterns that are most common in professional settings and exactly how they affect cognitive performance * Simple, realistic shifts you can make to your daily meals that protect your focus and sustain your energy through the full workday * A new way of thinking about food; not as a health topic, but as a performance tool ### **Who This Is For** This workshop is for anyone who works hard and wants their body and brain to keep up with them. Whether you're running a business, leading a team, managing a packed calendar, or simply trying to get through the day without hitting a wall, if energy and focus matter to your work, this session was built for you. ### **About Amisha** Amisha Moorjani is the founder of The Food Quotient, a nutrition and performance practice focused on helping professionals and teams use food as a tool for sustained energy, sharper thinking, and better output. Her approach is practical, research-informed, and built for real life, not ideal conditions. **This event is completely free.** Seats are limited, reserve yours now.

We are planning to have monthly potlucks (or picnics in the spring/ summer at local parks) or other activities including potluck/ picnic + hikes/ walks in the warmer weather. This potluck will start with an arrival time of 12:15 p.m. We will start eating at 1 PM SHARP followed by a walk (see below). There is an outdoor picnic area at the centre with picnic tables, so if it is a nice day we can eat outside. PLEASE bring your own utensils, plates, bowls, and cup as the centre does not always have an adequate supply of these. You are responsible for your own clean-up and if you borrow the items at the centre please clean them. All are welcome veg-curious, vegetarian, and vegan as long as what you bring to the potluck is vegan! 3 p.m.: After eating we will go for a walk to Doris McCarthy Trail/ Gates Gully. Here is some information about this walk: [https://www.blogto.com/.../doris-mccarthy-trail-gates.../](https://www.blogto.com/.../doris-mccarthy-trail-gates.../?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExR0ZMUmVUUHhPMkZNdTNQUXNydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR6IjVP2Y2F-Kajh1Onnb1MM2V7bk5O3RrPJcSg_M6vsuHkK5_jocjCxkQo4VA_aem_5DqbkP8qqq7dLLiJdtsDeA) We will go at a slow, easy pace and take breaks as needed. Bring water and wear comfortable shoes. Note: If the weather does not cooperate we will stay inside and play games. It is too steep to walk the trail when it's raining. We hope that you will join us!

Saigon Lotus Restaurant is another favorite and they have around for a long time. It is a Vietnamese vegan restaurant known for its plant-based dishes. It is a good time to pay them another visit. They do get busy for Saturday noon time. They go out of their way to give us a group reservation. Please sign up only if you are committed to attend. No shows will not be allowed to attend future events. Otherwise it looks to be another good event and a nice way to start the weekend.

Who’s up for a pizza night at the highly requested Pizza House? 🍕🍻 Join us at for great pizza, good laughs, and even better company! Come hungry and ready for a cheesy good time.

This is an in-person meeting. At this meeting you will get answers to depression and anxiety. Find out the source of them and how to get rid of them. Did you know that unwanted emotions like anxiety, depression, unhappiness, loneliness, hopelessness, anger, fear, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not due to a chemical imbalance in your brain from some nebulous chemical reaction "by chance". Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Hubbard Dianetics Foundation of Central Ohio and Church of Scientology of Central Ohio.

This is a free in-person meeting. Let's talk about relationships in such a way that you can really benefit from the knowledge.

The emotional pain from past bad experiences easily lingers in the present, making it hard to enjoy life and create your future. Even when you think you've moved on, the negative emotions can be triggered, sending you back into the pain of that experience. And we are talking about pain; emotions such as grief, depression, anxiety, fear (or terror), boiling anger, simmering resentment, feelings of shame, blaming and regret can leave you incapacitated to a greater or lesser degree. In this local event we will be discussing the reasons why these past bad experiences have the power to affect you long after they occurred. We'll go over why the emotional pain can be so strong. We'll also discuss some simple solutions to overcome your emotional pain and be free to fully enjoy your life again. Examples of painful experiences include: * A broken relationship or divorce. * Death or loss of a loved one. * Death of a pet. * A sudden shock or bad news. * A betrayal. * Being part of an abusive relationship. * A bad injustice. * Loss of a job, position or business. * A grave illness or injury. The negative emotions from these experiences don't just go away on their own. But the good news is there is a way to clear them out of your way.
