Mental Health Nutrition

Research has shown healthy eating habits with the Mediterranean eating pattern and regular physical activity can improve symptoms of depression such as irritability, low mood, and insomnia. Not only will a healthy eating pattern improve your mental health, but your full body also receives the benefit of this balanced approach.

Take a look at the Dietitians in this section, look at their profiles and websites, review their philosophies, and pick a Dietitian you think will be a good match for your values and beliefs. Consider your relationship with food and your body and contact a Dietitian who aligns with your values (i.e. weight-inclusive approach, weight neutral, weight-loss focused, etc.).

Nutrition can help you feel better and support your mental health as part of an integrated plan to optimize your overall health. Dietitians can help and will meet you where you are at by offering a safe and judgment-free space to focus on your mental health through the foods you eat.
