Do you find that food is ruling your life? Has food has become a burden from years of dieting, disordered eating or unresolved digestive issues? Is what, when and how to eat taking up too much of your time and energy? You deserve to enjoy food and feel well. It is possible to lay down that burden by ending the diet and binge eating cycle. It is also possible to eat without fear and stop letting your digestive symptoms dictate your life.

Depression Nutritionists and Dietitians
How does nutrition affect depression?
Depression is a complex condition with multiple causes and contributing factors. However, nutrition can play a role in the condition in some instances. Specifically, research has shown that highly-processed and sugar-rich foods may contribute to depression and worsen overall mental health. Depression may also cause some individuals to consume more of such foods, or consume meals on an irregular basis—both of which can lead to unhealthy diet outcomes and potentially exacerbate symptoms of depression.
Can depression be cured with nutrition?
There is no evidence to suggest that depression can be cured solely with nutrition. However, increasing recent research on the link between the mind and body has underscored the impact that diet choices can have on psychiatric symptoms; maintaining a balanced diet with sufficient fruit, vegetable, whole grain, and lean fat intake has been associated with decreased depression risk. Additionally, practices such as meal planning and eating with others can offer structure and social interaction, both of which can be very helpful for individuals coping with depression. Therefore, while nutrition alone may not cure depression, adopting healthy eating habits can complement other treatments and contribute positively to managing depression symptoms.
Can nutrition counseling help people with depression?
Nutrition counseling can be highly beneficial for individuals with depression, particularly when other symptom management strategies have not been fully effective. Dietitians can assist clients in identifying foods that may improve mood and alleviate depression symptoms. They can also coordinate with other members of a patient's care team, such as psychiatrists or therapists, to support comprehensive lifestyle changes conducive to depression recovery. For instance, dietitians can help clients create a meal plan that ensures adequate intake of essential nutrients, such as omega-3 fatty acids, B vitamins, and magnesium, which are linked to improved mood. Additionally, they can help clients reduce their consumption of foods that may exacerbate depression symptoms, such as those high in refined sugars and trans fats.
