Most of us know that good nutrition is vital to physical health but did you know it is vital to mental health as well? 🥗

90 percent of serotonin (one of our “feel good chemicals”) is made in our gut, not the brain! 🧐🧠

One of the best ways you can start to practice better mental heath is to focus on getting better nutrition. This isn’t about a particular diet! It is about optimizing nutrients that fuel our cells and our brain to give us the best output. 🥑🍎🍒🍋🥚🥝

Here are the top nutrients that you can think of as literal brain food! Try to eat some every day and don’t underestimate the value of a good supplement to aid in this process (since many of our nutrients are depleted in our American-grown food anyway). The easiest way to get these nutrients is to eat the Rainbow! 🌈 Eat foods that are colorful and eat as nature intended, avoiding provessed foods, seed oils, and added sugars. Talk to your healthcare practitioner or doctor to learn more or what may be right for you! 📋

To get a good mood, eat good food! 😁

At ACE Psychological Services, we believe in treating the whole person. Schedule if you’re interested in learning more or need support.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month!

Book of the Month: This month we are promoting books by Dr. Daniel Amen, founder of the Amen Clinics. Dr. Amen has long promoted mental health as physical health through his precision medicine approach. Did you know that mental health can be impacted by nutrition, gut health, circadian rhythms, sleep, exercise, blood sugars, and a whole host of other reasons? Dr. amen uses SPECT scans to look at the brain and offer several ways forward other than medication to aid in a decrease in mental health symptoms. His work is fantastic and if you’re looking for practical ways to nourish your brain and improve mental health, he’s your guy. Check him out at www.amenclinics.com

Quote of the Month: “I think it is really important to take away the stigma of mental health. My brain and my heart are really important… I don’t know why I wouldn’t seek to have those things as healthy as my teeth”. -Kerry Washington
