Nutrition for Mental Health & Healing

At Alleviant, we believe healing starts with the basics — and nothing is more foundational than the food you eat. Nutrition plays a critical role in mental wellness, directly affecting brain chemistry, energy levels, mood, and inflammation.

There’s an entire field called nutritional psychiatry that explores how food impacts your mind. And at Alleviant, we don’t just talk about it — we make it practical and personal.

Why Nutrition Matters

• The brain uses over 20% of your daily caloric intake — it needs high-quality fuel.

• Nutrients like omega-3s, B vitamins, magnesium, and zinc are essential for emotional balance and cognitive function.

• Highly processed “dead foods” rob the body of vital micronutrients and contribute to mood swings, fatigue, and foggy thinking.

• What you eat can reduce inflammation, support neurotransmitter production, and help stabilize your mood.

How Alleviant Supports You

We bring certified health coaches into your treatment plan to help you design a nutritional plan that works for you. Our coaches have formal education in nutrition and lifestyle medicine — and they’re here to walk with you, not lecture you.

You’ll receive:

• A 1-on-1 nutrition consultation

• A custom plan based on your goals, preferences, and health needs

• Practical education on how food affects your brain and mood

• Support with meal planning, food tracking, or supplement options if needed

No Extra Cost for Most Clients

We believe access to nutrition support shouldn’t depend on your income. That’s why we include health coaching at no additional cost for most clients. Your healing journey deserves comprehensive care — not financial roadblocks.

Nutrition as a Tool for Transformation

We’ve seen lives change when people learn to fuel their body and brain the right way. Whether you’re managing depression, anxiety, ADHD, or just trying to feel better day-to-day, nutrition is a powerful — and often overlooked — part of your healing.

You don’t have to do it alone. Let us help you build a better foundation.
