Nutrition Consulting

The Connection Between Nutrition & Mental Health

Research continues to confirm what many have long suspected—what we eat directly impacts how we feel. Studies have shown that diets high in refined sugars can impair brain function and contribute to worsening symptoms of mood disorders, such as depression and anxiety. Additionally, individuals with mental health conditions often face higher risks of physical health challenges due to lifestyle factors, psychiatric medications, and limited access to adequate healthcare.

At Cornerstone Clinic, we believe that nutrition plays a crucial role in mental well-being, especially for those managing the effects of psychiatric medications. While general dietary recommendations—such as eating more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins—are well-known, nutrition is rarely discussed in standard mental health care.

Why We Hired a Dietitian

Because we are committed to whole-body wellness, we’ve taken an uncommon but important step: hiring a registered dietitian to provide expert nutritional support to our patients. This unique service allows us to address mental health from a comprehensive, integrative perspective, helping you feel your best both mentally and physically.

Our dietitian works with patients to:

✔ Build a healthier relationship with food

Affordable & Accessible Care

We are proud to partner with 40+ insurance companies to make these services accessible. If your plan doesn’t cover nutrition counseling, we offer affordable cash-pay options to help keep care within reach.
