Description

You may be missing something; and the research proves it!

A new way of looking at mental illness is emerging. Instead of thinking of emotional disorders as a brain disorder, we now know they are body-and-brain. The rising rates of mental illness may be partly explained by society’s shift to fast and convenience foods, and research is showing how much nutrition, and ultimately inflammation, affects our emotional health. The effect is so strong that many researchers now look at depression primarily as an inflammatory illness. Anxiety, ADHD, and autism all show clear evidence that food plays a key role.

 

This course explains the research behind nutrition and mental health and equips you with the practical tools and interventions to apply immediately to improve the overall health of your client.

 

What You Will Learn:

  • Explain how new research about nutrition is changing our ways of thinking about mental health and human services
  • Describe the role that inflammation plays in depression, anxiety, dementia, and other mental health disorders
  • Examine how childhood trauma can cause lifelong elevated inflammation
  • Identify eating patterns that promote emotional health and reduce inflammation
  • Discuss how the microbiome can hurt or help our emotional life
  • Conceptualize new interventions from environmental vulnerabilities
  • Compare several Therapeutic Lifestyle Interventions and how they can be used in the delivery of mental health services
  • Outline action-based interventions that reduce negative responses
  • Demonstrate meditation and mindfulness techniques that reduce negative client responses
