Nutrition and Mental Health is a more serious and scientific course compared with our Food and Mood training.

 

Consider this...

"I have yet to meet a child or adult with autism, ADHD/ADD, dyspraxia, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression or obessive-compulsive disorder who does not have digestive abnormalities." - Dr Natasha Campbell-McBride in Nutrition and Mental Health a handbook from Pavilion Publishing 2008

 

The link between nutrition and mental health has been known since the earliest civilisations. Wherever did the idea that we can eat whatever we want and stay well come from?

 

What keeps us well? It turns out to be mainly fresh, less processed foods, a balanced diet and a lot of those things our great-grandparents knew about food are the things that mostly keep us well.

 

Can we simply change our diet and quickly recover? It turns a lot of people can do just this. With a little help people who appear to have had severe disorders that are not helped by medication can be well in a matter of days after simple dietary changes.

 

There again, many of us had badly damaged guts and confused ideas about food that developed over a life-time. Fixing diet still works more often than not - its just takes longer to figure out the puzzle and put all the pieces in place.
