Meal and snack recommendations are always customized to fit your daily schedule. While I want healthy eating to become a part of your life, I don’t want you stressing out about cooking beautiful from-scratch meals. I will teach you how to eat for your brain and body in ways that do not require a big time commitment, and focus on ease and convenience so you can fit it into your busy lifestyle. You will also learn to eat mindfully to help you maintain a healthy and satisfying relationship with food.

At the same time, different mental states influence your eating habits.

This may include individuals with disordered eating, or those who struggle with stress-related overeating or undereating, which can further exacerbate stress. I am happy to discuss the appropriate fit of any potential clients with their Mental Health Provider. Please note that Addiction, Eating Disorders, and Severe Psychiatric Conditions are not within my scope of practice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604d51159f1c0d72bbe92fa3/1621463926745-KM5GNUGGYCKMWMDQMOI5/unsplash-image-utGuen80JAg.jpg Information for Mental Health Providers and Patients Nutrition as an Adjunct Therapy In my client policy form, I emphasize that nutrition therapy is to be used in conjunction with medication and talk therapy. Clients should never discontinue either modality without discussing this with their provider. Clients will sign a medical release form to authorize communication between myself and their Mental Health Provider, if needed. While I prefer a food-first approach, the nutrients that are most important for brain health are often the hardest to obtain in high enough quantities from food alone (e.g., magnesium, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D). I only recommend professional-grade supplement brands and cross-reference with the client’s current medications and medical history to prevent drug-nutrient interactions and potential adverse effects. Given that the gut-brain connection is a two-way street, I like to provide my clients with science-backed tools (e.g., breathing techniques and heat therapy products) to help them reduce stress and boost their mood. Doing so gives my clients a greater chance of sustaining healthier eating habits by further helping to mitigate factors that can greatly impact hunger cues and cravings. To ensure that these tools align with and support the work being done with their Mental Health Provider, I ask clients to share with me the techniques they already use or have tried in the past. Depending on the client, I may choose to focus only on nutrition during our work together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604d51159f1c0d72bbe92fa3/1621466229024-HJCAN9OTA2V7SP4E7CQP/unsplash-image-34lgO8_OO-o.jpg Information for Mental Health Providers and Patients Insurance Coverage Anxiety, depression, and stress are not yet considered diet-related conditions by health insurance companies. As such, my services are not consistently eligible for insurance coverage as medical nutrition therapy, so I am not an in-network provider at this time. However, I am happy to provide a Superbill (medical invoice) upon request for clients to submit to their insurance for potential reimbursement. Clients can find out if they may be eligible for this reimbursement by calling the number on the back of their insurance card and asking if they have coverage for out-of-network general nutrition counseling with CPT codes 97802 + 97803 and ICD-10 code Z71.3. Some conditions that we might work on simultaneously (e.g., IBS, high cholesterol, diabetes) may also qualify a client for reimbursement if general nutrition counseling is not covered.
