Oftentimes when our mental health is suffering, we tend to choose food that does not support our mental health.
Suboptimal nutrition contributes to poor mental health and the cycle is self-perpetuating. There are evidenced based dietary choices to support mental health that can help to break this cycle.
There are so many options and approaches to mental healthcare such as therapy, medication, exercise, and nutrition is another underutilized tool to support your mental wellbeing.
With help, you can learn how to eat well and learn how nutrition can help manage your Mental Health and symptoms of Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

Our Approach
Nutrient-Rich Diet:
We emphasize a nutrient-rich diet that provides essential vitamins, minerals, and omega-3 fatty acids known to support brain health. Our guidance includes recommendations for incorporating fiber, specific proteins, fruits, vegetables, healthy fats, and other nutrients into your meals.
Lifestyle Factors & Other Variables:
Eating with others or alone, stress levels, physical activity, and many other factors also play a role in nutrition and mental health. We can work on behaviors beyond nutrition alone to boost mental well-being.
The Microbiome:
The bacteria in our digestive system play a role in our mental health, and there are biomarkers, such as blood sugars and cholesterol, that correlate to poor mental health. As a dietitian, I can help you make changes to improve your blood sugar, cholesterol and help bring balance to the microbiome in order to support your mental wellbeing.
Mindful Eating:
Tending to our needs can be difficult if we’re struggling with our mental health. Remembering to eat, eating regularly, and eating food that supports our well-being are skills to build into our lives as acts of self-care. We can help integrate skills and habits for better nourishment.
