The Deakin University Food & Mood Centre is focused on expanding the important research in the new field of Nutritional Psychiatry to discover risk factors and develop solutions to mental health problems using dietary and nutritional strategies.
This is the only such research centre in the world and this unique event will give a select number of attendees a one off intense and concentrated educational experience led by Professor Felice Jacka & other global experts in the rapidly evolving field of nutritional psychiatry.
Professor Jacka has been responsible for the development of the highly innovative and impactful field of ‘Nutritional Psychiatry’, establishing diet as a risk factor and treatment target for mental disorders.
The results of the studies she has led including the landmark SMILES trial) have been highly influential, being cited in more than 100 policy documents globally (e.g., WHO, UNICEF) and influencing clinical guidelines in psychiatry in Australia and elsewhere.
She is widely recognized as international leader in the field of Nutritional Psychiatry research and is an ISI Highly Cited Researcher (2020-2024 inclusive), putting her in the top 0.1% of publishing scientists worldwide for impact. In 2021 she was awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) for her services to Nutritional Psychiatry.
She has written two books for commercial publication, including the very popular children’s book “There’s a Zoo in my Poo”.
