The Surprising Connection Between Your Gut & Your Brain

Did you know that more neurotransmitters live in your gut than in your brain?  In fact, our ‘gut brain’ can play a larger role in our mood than our actual brain! Fascinating, right?  After practicing for over a decade and pursuing training in experiential, body-based therapies, my interest in nutritions effects on our well being, and more specifically our mental health began, to develop.  During this time, I became friends with one of the only psychiatrists in Texas that has been trained holistically in addition to his conventional, allopathic training as a medical doctor.  Our friendship has grown over the years as we both have a strong interest in treating mental health naturally and from a “whole body” perspective.  We each know that while our respective fields have so much to offer that mental health struggles are often multifaceted.  This means we needed a multifaceted approach to mental health treatment.

Learn how over-the-counter supplements can decrease anxiety &  improve mood without the side-effects

My desire to live healthier and to help my family live healthier lead me to pursue a certification in Nutrition Health Coaching.  Learning about the gut, nutrients, and super foods has revamped my life.  Living with more energy, less brain fog, and an improved mood has fueled me to be more of an advocate in my counseling practice for a holistic approach to mental health.   If you are ready to make a life change, small or large, I can help you on the path to overall wellbeing.
