Nutritional Psychiatry

Nutritional psychiatry focuses on how diet and nutrition affect your mental and physical health and brain function. It explores the connections between what we eat and our mental wellbeing through the gut-brain axis.

How It Works

Your brain needs specific nutrients to function optimally, and at Black Psychiatry, nutritional psychiatry helps identify and address any imbalances affecting your health.

Through detailed testing and assessment, we uncover how your diet is impacting your mood, anxiety, physical health, and overall mental well-being. We then create a practical, personalized plan that supports your mental health through targeted nutrition and lifestyle changes.

Who is it for?

Nutritional psychiatry is for anyone seeking a natural, holistic approach to health and wants to understand how diet and potential toxins may be affecting your well-being. It's particularly valuable for people who have tried traditional treatments that aren’t working. Many of these people experience:

  • Chronic Anxiety

  • Persistent Depression

  • Mood Swings

  • Brain Fog

  • Sleep Disturbances and Fatigue

  • Difficulty Concentrating

  • Memory Problems

What to Expect

Like any psychiatric approach, results vary from person to person — but research shows that patients who implement targeted nutritional changes often report noticeable improvements in their mood, energy, and mental clarity within 6-12 weeks.

Many of our patients begin to notice subtle positive changes in their symptoms within the 4 weeks, particularly in areas like energy levels, sleep quality, and mood stability.

You should expect to see initial improvements within 2-3 months, with continued progress as your body's nutritional status optimizes and your gut-brain connection strengthens.
