Food is Brain Medicine

There is a strong interplay between nutrition, cognition, psychology, neurology, and psychiatric. Nutritional Neuroscience also seeks to provide insights into preventing and managing cognitive and mental health disorders, neurodegenerative diseases and psychiatric disorders through nutrition and dietary interventions.

There are many potential modifiable dietary and lifestyle factors that can be done to help manage, stabilize and/or improve your brain function. For example, the relationship between the gut microbiome and brain function through the gut-brain axis has shown beneficial effects of certain food components in altering the gut flora, subsequently impacting both our brain and overall health.

Nutrient dense foods support healthy brain structure and functioning. Many brain (neurological), mind and mood (psychological and psychiatric) related conditions can be positively managed by functional nutrition therapy. Some examples include:

  • Migraine Headache
  • Alzheimer’s Disease
  • Multiple Sclerosis
  • Parkinson’s Disease
  • Mild Cognitive Impairment
  • Dementia
  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Schizophrenia
  • Bipolar Disorder
  • Mood Disorder
