Linking Nutrition to Mental Health

To truly live well-to feel good, engage
in productive activities, enjoy fulfilling
relationships with other people, and be
able to adapt to change and cope with
adversity-Americans must start addressing
mental health with the same urgency as
physical health. With that in mind, registered
dietitian Dr. Ruth Leyse-Wallace gathers
breakthrough scientific research from around
the world to demonstrate how powerfully
nutrition can affect our mental well-being
as much as our physical well-being.

Dr. Leyse-Wallace reports on the latest
and most compelling findings about the
ways in which diet, supplements, genetics,
and health conditions can make a difference
in mental health. She explores how the
short-term and long-term intake of vitamins,
minerals, essential fatty acids, proteins,
carbohydrates, medications, alcohol, and
caffeine can potentially influence mental
functioning, and she explains her emerging
Theory of PsychoNutriologic Person.

Far greater than an evidentiary summary,
Linking Nutrition to Mental Health gives
tailored recommendations to individuals,
healthcare providers, and scientists for
putting these groundbreaking research
discoveries into practice to achieve a
vastly improved quality of life.
