Join us for an insightful workshop, where we explore the fascinating connection between stress and your body's metabolism. Learn how chronic stress can disrupt hormone balance, slow down metabolism, and even contribute to weight gain.

In this workshop, you'll learn:
•How stress hormones impact your metabolism and trigger weight gain
•The role of cortisol in fat storage and appetite regulation
•Ways stress-induced hormonal imbalances can affect your body composition
•Practical tips to manage stress, support hormonal balance, and maintain a healthy weight

Come along to a two-hour masterclass on how foods and lifestyle can make such a difference to your health and wellbeing. The Masterclass will be a lecture-style presentation with Kim Stirling, Naturopath - and there will also be a couple of recipes demonstrated... and tasted!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
