Mental health nurse Helen Duyvestyn is passionate about nutrition and lifestyle changes for enhancing mental illness. 

" It's about setting some boundaries. But it's also very much about self care. And I really see that a lot of people talk about self care and bubble bars and manicures and things like that. But to me, self care is actually eating well and actually providing yourself with food that's really nutritious because you'll notice the difference." -Helen Duyvestyn
