Dr. Angeli Chitale | BSc (Hons) ND
Angeli Chitale is a Queen’s University Graduate in Molecular Biology and Genetics. During her final year of post-grad level work in genetic research at the Department of Pathology, she treated her chronic knee injury with natural medicine - nutrition, herbs and supplements. The impact was so life changing, it inspired her to pursue formal studies and training in Naturopathic Medicine. While a student at The Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine (CCNM), Angeli pursued further hands-on training in botanical medicine with the Ontario Herbalists Association. Upon graduation, she obtained further qualification in Restorative Medicine for the treatment of Thyroid, Adrenal and other endocrine/metabolic conditions. Angeli believes in contributing to the profession and has served as an Executive Board Member, Medical Editor for the LAND (Ontario Association of Naturopathic Doctors), Chair of the Naturopathic Legacy Committee and has worked overseas with NGOs such as Naturopathic Doctors International who provides natural medical care to patients in remote and isolated areas of Central America. Here, Angeli supervised clinical care in Women’s Clinics, taught Global Health, Botanical Medicine and Clinical skills to prospective ND candidates from all over North America. Angeli is a professional member of the AARM (Association for the Advancement of Restorative Medicine) and continues to remain politically active in enabling access to natural health for the Canadian public. Angeli views health as maintaining balance within all aspects of a person: emotional, mental, spiritual, environmental, social, physical - and that healing happens on all levels. When not consulting, Angeli enjoys learning, teaching, writing articles for publication, growing food, hiking, kayaking and landscape painting.
Course description
Understanding the intricate connection between brain chemistry and our emotional well-being is the key to unlocking better mental health. This comprehensive webinar explores the neurobiological foundations of the four primary emotions—happiness, sadness, anger, and fear—revealing how all other feelings emerge from combinations of these base states. Participants will discover the powerful role that nutrition, herbs, and lifestyle practices play in supporting optimal brain function and emotional balance.
Beyond theory, this practical session empowers attendees with actionable strategies for mental wellness. You’ll learn to identify mood-boosting foods and their specific nutrients, explore locally available herbs that support emotional regulation, and master a proven three-step approach to self-regulation. The webinar also covers effective stress management techniques and provides guidance on recognizing when professional help is needed, complete with an accessible mental health resource list to ensure ongoing support.
