Appetite for Life
Perfect Pairs: Exploring the Science and Stories Behind Food Combinations

Why do some foods just seem to belong together? From apples and pork to collards and bacon, many familiar food pairings are rooted in more than flavor or tradition.

Join us for Appetite for Life as Carol L. Cheatham, PhD, Associate Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience at the UNC Nutrition Research Institute, explores the science of nutrient synergy: how certain foods and nutrients work better together to support absorption, brain health, and overall wellness.

This engaging talk will look at popular pairings, vitamin partnerships, and the value of eating a variety of whole foods — showing why, when it comes to nutrition, no nutrient plays a solo.
This talk will offer practical, science-based takeaways for women, families and anyone interested in better understanding health during the menopause transition.

This event will be offered virtually and in person at the UNC Nutrition Research Institute (500 Laureate Way, Kannapolis, NC 28081)
