What role does food play in your life? Do you view it as a way to fuel your body, experience pleasure, or manage your blood sugar levels? ACB Next Generation, in collaboration with ACB’s Mental Health and Wellness Committee and ACB Diabetics in Action, presents an opportunity for individuals to gain insight from three unique perspectives on relationships with food. Amanda Selm will discuss how she has adopted healthy habits and continues to reap benefits.
