Nutrition

Dietary interventions can go a long way toward restoring balance to the body, mind, and spirit. It is well established that a balanced diet of wholesome foods with minimal intake of sugar, refined carbohydrates, processed foods, and refined oils and greater focus on home-cooked meals composed of whole foods, with plenty of intake of fruits and vegetables reduces inflammation, improves the diversity of the gut microbiome, and prevents chronic disease. Psychiatric illnesses are also responsive to such dietary interventions, along with other treatments and lifestyle modifications.

Customizing yours or your child’s diet may also be needed. Some individuals do well with a high carbohydrate diet. Others do better with high fat or high protein diet, for example. If you are interested in making dietary changes, we can explore this further.

Nutritional evaluations are also available to identify and treat nutrient deficiencies, which can significantly help with restoring psychological balance and well-being.
