And so how do you approach work with a new client, a mom who comes in maybe burned out, stressed out, kind of just not at their best, but wanting to be? What, how do you approach that client?

Yeah, great question.

We absolutely take a look at managing stress and their nervous system regulation, and I think a lot of people are surprised that food can actually help with that.
2:52
It's more than, you know, breathing exercise and positive thinking, and more along the lines of, you know, reframing a mindset, and that nutrition actually plays a critical role.

The things that we are putting into our bodies and what we are feeding our good gut bacteria versus bad gut bacteria and how that's impacting our brain.
3:13
So when I talk about that regulating the nervous system, we're really gonna focus on what does stress look like? What are the key targets that are, uh, causing a lot of stress in your life, and how can we help you be more resilient to that? And my main area of focus is how can we nourish our brains so that we can kinda create those conditions for calm in our lives? And so, um, nutrition psychology is kind of more of an up-and-coming word where you're using nutrition to help manage symptoms of depression and anxiety and other mental health disorders, and not just disorders, but also overstimulation and all of those things, just burnout and things that a lot of moms experience and parents experience, uh, you know, taking on the role as parents and, you know, work life and all these other hats that they're juggling.

So nervous system regulation.
