These one-hour sessions are ideal for anyone interested in learning more about nutritional strategies with the potential to improve mental health. It’s also a great option for family members interested in understanding the risks and benefits of nutrition therapy for loved ones living with mental health challenges. While you’re welcome to ask me anything, examples of common topics include ketogenic diets and psychiatric disorders, interactions between special diets and psychiatric medications, questions about where the current research stands in the fields of nutrition and metabolic psychiatry, laboratory testing for insulin resistance and nutrient deficiencies, and how to optimize any diet to support better mental health. I have clinical expertise and scientific knowledge about a wide variety of special diets including ketogenic diets, paleo diets, plant-based diets, Mediterranean diets, elimination diets, simple low-carbohydrate diets, and carnivore diets.
