Mental Health Nutrition Dietitian Vancouver

Nutrition plays a vital role in supporting mental health, as the food we eat can directly impact brain function, mood, and emotional well-being. Conversely, mental health can influence nutrition as well; those struggling with anxiety or depression may experience changes in appetite, either overeating or under-eating, which can further disrupt mood and energy levels.

By addressing both nutrition and mental health together, individuals can create a positive cycle, where nourishing the body enhances emotional well-being, and improving mental health fosters healthier eating habits.

How can a dietitian help support mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression and ADHD?

• Provide personalized nutrition guidance that supports brain health and overall well-being
• Help identify nutritional deficiencies that may be worsening mental health
• Recommend dietary changes to promote serotinin and dopamine production
• Recommend supplements to ensure nutritional adequacy, if applicable 
• Provide education on mindful eating practices and tips on meal planning and preparation
