Amino Acid Therapy

Service Description

Could your brain be missing some of the building blocks it needs? When people struggle with mood symptoms, they often focus only on thoughts and emotions. Those matter—but the brain is also a physical organ that depends on adequate nutrition to function well. Neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, GABA, and norepinephrine are made from amino acids obtained through the foods we eat. When nutrition is inadequate, stress is chronic, or the body is under strain, some people may experience symptoms such as: ✔ Low mood ✔ Anxiety or excessive worry ✔ Difficulty concentrating ✔ Low motivation ✔ Cravings for sugar or carbohydrates ✔ Trouble sleeping Therapy can help address emotional and behavioral patterns, while nutritional strategies may help support the brain's ability to produce and regulate key neurotransmitters. Foods rich in protein and amino acids include: 🥚 Eggs 🐟 Fish 🍗 Poultry 🫘 Beans and legumes 🥜 Nuts and seeds 🥩 Lean meats Mental health is rarely just one thing. It's often a combination of biology, psychology, lifestyle, relationships, and life experiences. In my practice, I help clients explore both emotional healing and evidence-informed nutritional support as part of a comprehensive approach to mental wellness.
