This two-day training provides licensed mental health clinicians with foundational and intermediate knowledge of integrative approaches to mental health care with a focus on nutrition. Drawing on evidence-informed frameworks participants will learn how nutrition, biological rhythms, digestion, and key nutrients influence mental well-being. The training emphasizes practical clinical applications—within the scope of mental health practice—such as psychoeducation, assessment tools, collaboration with medical and nutritional professionals, and safe conversations about dietary patterns and supplements.
The first day focuses on foundational knowledge of integrative mental health care and basic nutrition concepts. The second day explores micronutrients, dietary patterns, and supplements commonly relevant to mental health, with guidance on scope and referrals.

  • Define integrative mental health care and describe the role of nutrition as one component of holistic treatment.
  • Explain the concept of bioindividuality and identify key intake domains (cultural, metabolic, lifestyle) relevant to nutrition and mental health.
  • Describe the impact of biological rhythms, hydration, and meal timing on mood, sleep, and emotional regulation.
  • Explain the basic connection between gut health and mental health, including how digestion and microbiome function influence emotional well-being.
  • Identify key micronutrients (e.g., B vitamins, magnesium, omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, vitamin D) associated with mental health and recognize common clinical signs of deficiency that may warrant referral.
  • Describe major dietary patterns supported by evidence (e.g., Mediterranean, anti-inflammatory, Brainbow diet) and ways to support clients in making accessible dietary changes.
