He's Back In The Saddle!
Sylva Sheridan returned last month and works virtually from his Ottawa office in IHN's Communications and Program Advising department. Sylva was part of IHN Ottawa’s first group of graduating students, completing the fulltime diploma program in 2016. He was immediately hired as IHN Ottawa’s Administrative Coordinator and Program Advisor. He was promoted to Campus Manager in April 2017 where he oversaw all operations of the campus, including Ottawa's Co-op and Continuing Education program. In May 2018, he returned to Carleton University to finish his undergraduate degree and pursue graduate school. Sylva earned his Master of Arts in Legal Studies in June 2021. We could not be prouder! He researched and wrote a thesis on the intergenerational effects of residential schools with special attention to the overrepresentation of Indigenous children in the child welfare system. If you are interested in reading Sylva's thesis, let him know!
Syl (as we call him) works primarily with Julia Rickert and Hannah Rauhanen on IHN’s external and internal communications, social media, guest speakers, and Program Advising. He is thrilled to be back working for IHN (and seeing so many familiar faces) and to meet with new and potential students. Sylva firmly believes that IHN graduates play an instrumental role in supporting clients through advanced clinical nutrition practices, one avocado at a time!
Contact Sylva about:
• IHN This Week & IHN Weekly Digest
• Alumni Support
• Guest Speakers, Continuing Education
• Program Advising
Sylva can be reached Monday through Thursday from 9:00 am – 3:00 pm Eastern.

Alleviating Stress With Nutrition, Supplementation & Lifestyle Modifications
In this lecture, Sofia Pistrila explores the idea that what you eat affects how you feel, and is also well supported with research. However, food and nutrients are rarely considered as a key strategy for supporting mental health and alleviating stress. This talk will show you specifically how foods and nutrients support or compromise the way your brain works, and how you feel. You will learn the key foods and nutrients to use – or avoid – for improving mood, managing stress, and addressing anxiety and depression. In addition to addressing specific foods, this talk will detail natural supplementation and lifestyle interventions that will help reverse some of the symptoms of stress you may already have and also build your resilience for the future.

Optimizing Cognitive Function Through The Foods We Eat
Mental illnesses such as anxiety, depression, and dementia may not even be brain-based, according to University of Calgary Psychiatry Department Head and Scientist, Dr. Valerie Taylor. “It might actually be the gut that really is controlling a lot of these things through the many connections between your GI system and your brain,” Taylor shares in a May 21, 2021 Best Health Magazine article (3 minute read), “The Mind-Gut Connection: What You Need To Know.” Eating a diet consisting of fibre, probiotics, omega 3 fats, and fermented foods is one way to support the second brain, also known as the gut.

While it might not give you Popeye-worthy biceps, you can still get your gains with this cool weather-loving leafy green. Native to central Asia, spinach is part of the Chenopodiaceae family and was discovered 2000 years ago. It was cultivated as a wild edible and it can be consumed either fresh or cooked. Spinach is extremely nutrient-rich and contains a variety of different vitamins and minerals, high amounts of carotenoids, folic acid, and iron. Spinach is a versatile vegetable that you can now incorporate into a nutritious breakfast with these Green Smoothie Waffles by IHN graduate Danielle Binns.
