What is Functional Nutrition
Functional Nutrition uses specialized lab and nutrigenomic testing to identify nutritional and other deficiencies to understand how biological, environmental and lifestyle factors affect your mental health. Functional nutrition refers to the benefits of a balanced, healthy diet and often supplements to facilitate the brain’s defense against psychiatric disorders. The treatment team at Mynd Works Psychiatry can work with patients to create a nutritional and supplementation plan that will boost the brain and body’s immune system with nutritional interventions. A balanced, planned and personalized diet regimen and targeted supplementation can boost the antioxidant defense system, one of the contributing factors to resisting mental disorders and repairing other neurotropic factors. When discussing a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach to treating mental health, Mynd Works has services to ensure the body gets the same care with functional nutrition.
