Description

The Mind-Body Connection: Functional Nutrition and Mental Health

Food is the fuel that our brains and bodies run on and unfortunately, many clients do not make the connection between skipping meals or eating poorly and their mood swings, brain fog, lack of energy, procrastination, or inability to focus. Additionally, many clients are looking for alternatives to medication or at least a way to modify how much medication they take.

Explore how physical health impacts brain and behavior, and how integrative and functional medicine applies to psychotherapy and clinical practice. Learn simple steps to uncover nutritional deficiencies, evaluate the impact of medication, and how to implement lifestyle changes for the most powerful ways to leverage time with clients to improve clinical outcomes.

Thinking about expanding your knowledge of nutrition and integrative medicine as it relates to your client’s mental health? Certification as a Certified Mental Health Integrative Medicine Professional (CMHIMP) through Evergreen Certifications lets colleagues, employers, and clients know that you’ve invested the extra time and effort necessary to understand the complexities and intersections of mental health and nutrition. Visit www.evergreencertifications.com/CMHIMP to learn more!
