The HPC Physical Well-being Series is a collaboration between Wellness@Work and the University of Guelph's Health & Performance Centre. The series will consist of several talks by HPC practitioners related to topics that support your physical well-being and are free to access for University staff & faculty.
Safely and Sustainably Increase Your Activity Levels
After the holiday season, many of us may be trying to get back into our typical routines and start incorporating more physical activity into our day-to-day. But it may be overwhelming to try and find where to start safely in a way that feels good for your body and also is sustainable in the long term.
Our physiotherapy experts will teach you how to safely increase your physical activity levels during the winter months! In this talk, facilitators will:
- provide practical and manageable ways to increase physical activity
- discuss how increasing activity looks different depending on the type of activity (i.e. strength training vs aerobic training)
- share different activity options for the outdoors vs going to the gym
- answer attendee questions related to the topic

Increase Healthy Eating Habits and Learn how Nutrition Impacts your Mental Health
After the holiday season, many of us may be trying to get back into our typical routines and start incorporating more healthy eating behaviours into our day-to-day. But it may be overwhelming to try and find where to start with all the diet myths that are out there.
Join HPC's registered dietician, Rachel Hannah, to ask questions and learn about:
- Evidence-based healthy eating behaviours;
- Practical ways to implement healthy eating in your daily life;
- The role of nutrition and mental health and the growing field of Nutritional Psychiatry
Rachel will answer attendee questions related to nutrition and healthy eating habits. This talk will consist of a 30-minute period to share evidence-based nutritional information and 15 minutes will be held for a Q&Q period.
