During the hands-on cooking class and shared dinner, guests will learn how to prepare delicious, mood-enhancing meals using scientifically backed ingredients shown to support brain and heart health.

Throughout the evening, Dr. Naidoo will discuss how food impacts mental well-being and highlight surprising foods that may help combat depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, ADHD, dementia, brain fog, insomnia, fatigue, bipolar disorder, and low libido.

Participants will prepare and enjoy a thoughtfully curated, brain- and heart-healthy menu designed to support overall wellness and longevity. Biodynamic wines will be served while guests cook and dine, reinforcing balance as an essential part of the wellness journey.
