Part of Wake Up Narcolepsy’s mission is to provide supportive resources for people with Narcolepsy and their families. During this time of massive daily life alterations, we want to continue to offer those resources.

We are all going through a traumatic event together and as we are adapting to a new normal within our homes some may find it difficult to create structure.

We created a miniseries called Doing Life During COVID-19 to address different aspects of daily life we may need extra support with during this time.

Our fourth episode in our Doing Life During COVID-19 miniseries is addressing food + nutrition during the pandemic. Wake Up Narcolepsy's Executive Director, Claire Crisp has a conversation with Andre Royal, chef, entrepreneur, author and PWN. They discuss what food to focus on to boost your immune system, to give yourself grace, tips on how to meal prep, and staple pantry items to have.

Andre and Claire also talk about Andre’s new coloring book that he authored and his son illustrated- The Hippo Critic. It may be a great way to relieve stress while practicing safer at home protocols.

Here are some websites he recommends you check out to help you with cooking at home!
