Manage Your MBA Application Stress
As someone who works closely with dozens of MBA applicants every year, one of the biggest differentiators among successful candidates is their ability to manage anxiety from multiple angles. Recommender hasn't gotten back in two weeks? Not sure where to begin on essays? Have to take the GRE or GMAT again after a tough score? Read something on Reddit that made you feel you're destined for rejection? It's a lot. Tons of moving parts, some not entirely within your control. From start to finish, I've seen candidates struggle with everything from sleep to self-worth. But that doesn't have to be you. Taking on the part-time job of MBA applications doesn't mean you have to sacrifice your well-being. This is where functional research and getting a grip on our health can make a world of a difference. Partnering with Rachel—a Certified Health Coach and nutrition expert—to tackle my own health has given me a deeper understanding of how my body works, and how to make good choices. After we speak to the sources of our stress, Rachel will walk us through some key physical and behavioral signs we should be aware of, and targeted strategies to keeping you healthy during (and likely long after) your MBA apps are in. We're hoping to build this event into a long-term series, so this should be the first of many. Look forward to de-stressing with you, and hopefully having some fun too.

Intuitive Eating for a Healthy and Happy Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving and the holidays are often a joyous time of year filled with food and family. However, when all mixed together, they tend to bring out a lot of all-or-nothing attitudes towards eating. There is another option, the middle ground, that incorporates balance, enjoyment, and peace of mind. While some people, including those with diet-related medical conditions such as diabetes, might require more thoughtful planning for the day, everyone can make simple, healthy last-minute choices that enhance the day and align with their health goals.
