I'm offering a new service: Nutrition and Mental Health Consulting
As a therapist and licensed nutritionist, for years I've been telling folks I'm "90% therapist, 10% nutritionist." I've focused on eating disorders, anxiety and trauma. But through my own health issues I have learned SO MUCH about the gut's impact on mental health. So my career is taking another curve in the river and I'm bringing the nutrition aspect forward again.
While mindfull eating is always helpful, "intuitive eating" rarely is supportive. It's not easy to "intuit" if you have gut issues or food intolerances.
The quality and reliability of testing has improved significantly over the last 10 years. Testing is available for leaky gut, food intolerance, even testing for the integrity of the blood/brain barrier.
