As a certified clinician in Nutritional Medicine, I can guide you in improving your metabolic and mental health through targeted strategies.
First, we will look at your daily eating habits and the current medications and vitamins you take. From there, I can recommend some changes, additions and subtractions, to modify your well-being and amplify the anxiety recovery process. If lab work is necessary, I can refer you where to find it.
Nutrition plays a very important role in mental health, whether it’s food, vitamins, or supplements. It’s important not only for energy, but also for our brain to function optimally.
- Most of the neurotransmitters that support the regulation of anxiety and mood are impacted by micronutrients, protein, and fats.
- About 90% of the neurotransmitters that support our mood, anxiety regulation and motivation are produced in the gut.
At the same time, stress and poor nutritional intake also affects, as we
ll as other toxins, negatively impact the gut.
People who are taking psychiatric medications will also benefit by creating a healthier, more functional, biochemical foundation.
Psychotherapy is also enhanced when you have more stress tolerance, better mood, and greater motivation to confront challenging and painful areas of life.
Please note I am not a medical doctor. If you have major medical issues it is best to work with an integrative wholistic doctor or psychiatrist.
