Nutrition Has Been Ignored in Mental Health
Treatment for Far Too Long…
Like many helping professionals, you may think that mental health issues are solely biochemical-based or psychologically-rooted as a result of trauma.
But research tells a more complex story.
The field of nutritional neuroscience is revealing how profoundly food and nutrients affect mood, cognition, and overall psychological wellbeing.
What, and how, we eat can shape our brain chemistry, our emotional resilience, and even our therapeutic outcomes.
Improving nutrition alone has been shown to alleviate depression, anxiety, and even more serious mental health issues.
It’s time for the mental health profession to pay attention to this critical information for the benefit of our clients.
