Clients who are eager to reduce frustrating symptoms caused by anxiety, depression, ADHD, and other mental health disorders often turn to holistic approaches like diet and nutrition to help ease their symptoms.

Many clients self-prescribing based on information obtained on the Internet or their friends. And while many of these clinical methods have few negative side effects, some herbal supplements, juice fasts, and other apparently healthy activities can have significant adverse outcomes if not tailored to the individual’s psychobiology.

As a clinician, it can be intimidating when clients start asking you for guidance on how to use nutrition to improve their well-being. Suddenly you find yourself thinking “I’m not a nutritional therapist, I’m not trained for that!” And, “What am I allowed to do, ethically?”

…but it doesn’t have to be hard or complicated.
