Nutritional Psychiatry

Nutrition is fundamental to our physical and mental health and has a great impact on how we feel. The gut-brain axis is an exciting area of interest within the mental health field and it has been a fast emerging area of research. In the Western world we have become quite disconnected from the food we eat, and our busy lives can mean that we tend to reach for packaged, processed foods and foods filled with sugar, preservatives, and harmful chemicals and ingredients. Nutritional Psychiatry can help you to reclaim your mental health through nutritional advice, supplementation advice and gut microbiome health. Lena is certified in Nutritional Psychiatry and trained under Drew Ramsey, MD. Lena’s focus is often on plant-based whole foods, as there is an abundance of evidence that this is the healthiest diet for the human body, and for that of the planet as a whole. 

Lena emphasizes to clients that you do not need to immediately feel pressured to make any changes, and that she will ‘meet you where you are at’ and help you to make informed choices to improve your wellbeing through diet.
