Webinar: Knowledge is Power - Simple, Affordable Ways to Eat Well in Grief
With Sabine Horner - Registered Nutritionist, Ayurvedic Wellness Practitioner & Yoga Therapist
Thursday 9th July 2026, 7-8pm
This practical webinar explores how simple, affordable nutrition and cooking knowledge can help bereaved people stabilise energy, support mood, and address many grief-related symptoms - without increasing cost or complexity.
It highlights how grief can disrupt appetite, digestion, hydration, energy, and routine, and why these changes can make eating well feel unexpectedly difficult.
The session focuses on realistic strategies for times when energy, motivation, and capacity are low, showing how small, sustainable changes and gentle structure can support improved nutritional and fluid intake using everyday foods.
Topics include:
-
Making the most of inexpensive and accessible foods
-
Reducing food waste through flexible, low-effort cooking approaches
-
Simple ways to support blood sugar stability for better energy, mood, and mental focus
-
Small everyday habits that can support nervous system regulation, and therefore digestion and overall wellbeing during grief
You will leave with practical, adaptable tools to help improve your nutritional and fluid intake during grief, alongside a deeper understanding of how grief can affect appetite, digestion, and energy - and where small, affordable interventions can make the greatest difference.
About Sabine
Ever since I lost my husband to leukaemia eight years ago, I have been passionate about understanding the body’s response to grief.
I was recently described as the “Grief Gut Guru” - a name that reflects my focus on the often-overlooked link between grief and the digestive system, and how nature-based tools such as food, daily rhythms, and breath can help restore balance and stability after a devastating loss.
In my practice, I blend modern nutrition science with the ancient healing wisdom of Ayurveda to support bereaved people with the physical impact of grief - not just the emotional and psychological aspects. My aim is to make the body’s response to grief understandable, and therefore more manageable.
I believe the body whispers before it shouts. That’s why I’m passionate about addressing the physical symptoms of grief early on before they develop into chronic exhaustion, digestive disorders, or more complex health challenges.
My approach bridges a gap in traditional bereavement support which rarely considers what and when we eat or drink - yet these fundamentals strongly influence our energy, resilience, and capacity to heal.
