There’s an increasing body of evidence showing nutrition, gut health, + diet are inextricably linked with mental health + immune function. Mental health + nutrition influence each other in a feedback loop that can spiral into a vicious cycle or a positive feedback loop that creates greater health, vitality, + energy. In working together, we’ll change the direction of that loop from a vicious cycle to a positive cycle, ever increasing your physical + mental health. I offer integrative + holistic functional nutrition education, guidance, + support to heal the mind, body, + soul.

Functional nutrition, gut health, + immunity interact in a complex system that influences our hormones + neurotransmitters, + therefore our mood + function of our brains. Even with high quality, unprocessed organic foods, our food today does not possess the same nutritional content as it once did because the soil is no longer as nutritive.

We must now supplement that lost nutrition through vitamin amino acids, but not all vitamins + amino acids are created equal. You not only need to know which vitamins + amino acids to take, you also need to know which forms your body will effectively absorb + which brands provide the highest quality formula so they’ll actually work. Studies show amino acids can be as or even more effective than anti-depressants. Studies have also shown it’s important to take a probiotic when taking antidepressants since pscyhotropic medications disrupts our gut microbiome where over 90% of our serotonin is made.
