We recognize the complex nature of these disorders and the many factors that cause them. We know the gut, brain, and immune connection has a great impact on the mental well-being. We also use therapies like mindfulness, self-care massage and acupuncture to support mental health and relieve the manifestations of these disorders.
The gut-brain connection plays a key role in managing your mental health. Some research has even gone so far as to say that those who eat a diet high in processed and fast foods are more than twice as likely to develop depression. Eating a diet rich in nutrients and minerals can play a large role in managing your symptoms of depression and anxiety.
Foods you should consume include:
- Lean protein sources, which aid in supplying your body with amino acids that regulate hormone balance
- Wild-caught fish, which supply doses of Omega-3 that’s crucial for brain health
- Healthy fats, that support neurological function and cellular health
- Fruits and veggies, vital antioxidants can improve your mood
- Foods rich in fiber, for brain function
We also recommend you participate in forms of stress release and relaxation regularly. This can come in the form of:
- Yoga
- Meditation
- Massages
- Facials
- Acupuncture
- CranioSacral Therapy
