Did you know that what you eat and drink can affect your mental health, mood and wellbeing?

It is just as important to take care of your mental health as it is your physical health. Good mental health and wellbeing means being able to think, feel and respond in the ways that you want to. 

How Nutrition Can Help

Getting good nutritional advice can be really helpful in making sure you are eating the best foods to help with your mental health. There is a direct link between your mind and body and research has shown that what and when you eat can affect your mental health and emotions. There is growing evidence that nutrition can play a part in the prevention and management of mental health problems such as depression and anxiety.

If you think that your thoughts and reactions and the way you feel are affecting your quality of life, then it is important to seek professional help and nutrition can be used alongside any psychological help you may be receiving. 

Nutrients

So, as well as making changes with your food, supplementation is beneficial as certain nutrients can be particularly helpful as they can improve your mood and emotional wellbeing. We know that deficiencies in specific nutrients have been implicated in a number of mental health problems.

For example, deficiencies of the B vitamins can cause depression, anxiety, irritability and stress. A lack of magnesium is also linked to insomnia and irritability. The omega 3 fats have been associated with better mental health.

You have a ‘second’ brain in your digestive system, with 95% serotonin (your ‘feel good’ neurotransmitter) in your gut compared to 5% in your central nervous system. Having good levels of healthy beneficial gut bacteria can change how you feel and think and that it is being suggested that these ‘good’ bacteria will end up being used in the say way that Prozac and Valium are used.

There are many laboratory tests that can give you invaluable insights into understanding what is going on in your body at the moment and can tell you what vitamin and mineral deficiencies you may have. 

The interpretation of these results lets you know what supplements you need to take and what amounts of specific nutrients are needed in order to help with your mental health.

In the clinic we use an exclusive Nutritional Test that checks whether you have any deficiencies or imbalances in 15 different vitamins, mineral and essential fatty acids from one blood sample:

Minerals – calcium, chromium, copper, magnesium, manganese, selenium and zinc
Vitamins – A, C, B12, D, E, folate and beta-carotene
Essential fatty acids – your ratio of omega 6 to 3 fats

We can also test how stressed you are by measuring cortisol with saliva samples which is convenient and accurate, and the sample is collected at home and then posted back to the lab.

We can also look at digestion with a stool sample to check for efficient absorption and digestion of nutrients, levels of beneficial bacteria, candida overgrowth, parasites, inflammation etc. and possible causes of digestive symptoms like bloating, flatulence, IBS etc.

All the tests we use in the clinic are carried out by accredited scientific laboratories in the UK and the USA.

Your nutritionist will interpret the findings of these tests for you and provide you with tailored recommendations based on your results.
