Your brain can’t thrive on empty.

Every organ in your body requires fuel — and your brain is no exception. In fact, your brain uses more energy than any other part of your body. When it doesn’t get the nutrients it needs, it doesn’t just slow down — it begins to misfire.

Many symptoms that are diagnosed as depression, anxiety, or even ADHD may actually stem from nutritional imbalances, deficiencies, or toxicities (Rao et al., 2008). But these often go overlooked in traditional psychiatry.

At Alleviant, we ask different questions — because we know that brain function and nutrition are deeply connected.

We live in a world where chemicals are everywhere — in the food we eat, the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the products we use daily. Over time, these environmental toxins build up in our bodies and disrupt our brain’s ability to function at its best.

 At Alleviant, we often see patients with brain fog, irritability, anxiety, and fatigue that don’t fully resolve with therapy or medication — until we address the toxic burden.
