​​​We know that a big part of mental health is brain chemistry. Neurochemicals like serotonin and dopamine are all made from the food we eat. They are also made from the friendly bacteria in our gut (after digesting the fiber we eat). Eating fiber, key vitamins, minerals, proteins, and healthy fats are essential for our brains to function optimally. Come experience accelerated success by combining nutrition coaching with therapy!
