Professor Julia Rucklidge discusses the essential role of nutrition to support resilience in the face of acute stress or trauma in our podcast replay.  

 With our ambassador, Dr. Adrian Lopresti, Julia delves into her research and the use of micronutrients to support survivors of natural disasters and acute trauma experiences. Julia also discusses the diets and nutritional status of individuals following a traumatic experience, and how practitioners might best support these people. 

 Julia is generous with both academic and personal anecdotes on the benefits optimal nutrition (supported by nutritional supplementation) has on the individual in a high stress or trauma period and to promote recovery, sharing insights from her experience during the Christchurch earthquakes.  

 We learn about the essential role the B group vitamins play in supporting the production of adrenalin and cortisol required to respond to an acute situation and how nutritional inadequacy may lead to poor mood and sleep regulation.
