Maureen will teach us the things to avoid to improve our overall health, how to prepare on-the-go healthy meals and snacks, and how to achieve good eating habits.

- How to remain or be consistent in good eating habits;
- How does feeding your body or fueling your body help you sleep;
- Vitamins or real food?;

- What are the things that we constantly do that destroys our gut health; and
