WHAT IS NUTRITIONAL PSYCHIATRY?
A Growing Body of Evidence continues to support the idea that what we eat directly impacts our Mood, Brain Health, and our risk for Chronic Disease. How and What you Eat is an essential TREATMENT tool to healing from the inside out. There is a communication system that lies between the Gut, the Brain, and Microbiota (tiny bacteria hosted in your Gut). These 3 body systems drive our Nervous System Responses, impact how we feel, and moderate our risk for disease through inflammatory pathways. True Healing, Freedom from Disease, and Walking in your Purpose lies in Restoring balance and Harmony within these 3 pathways.
