When you’re struggling with anxiety, burnout, or depression, it’s easy to overlook what’s on your plate.
But at Advanced Psychiatry, our integrative psychiatry approach looks at the whole picture—including how food affects your mental health.
🧠 What you eat shapes your mood, energy, and brain function. That’s
why we often start with a simple, supportive habit: building a balanced
Plate.
🔹 ½ Plate Vegetables (non-starchy): Think salad greens, broccoli, mushrooms, zucchini—foods that reduce inflammation and support gut
health.
🔹 ¼ Plate Carbs: Choose chickpeas, sweet potatoes, quinoa, or brown
rice for steady blood sugar and better mood regulation.
🔹 ¼ Plate Protein: Protein sources like tuna, tofu, eggs, or Greek yogurt help make neurotransmitters like serotonin.
🔹 Optional Healthy Fat: A little olive oil, avocado, or hummus can go a long way in supporting brain function.
This isn’t a diet—it’s a foundation.
