There's really a misunderstanding about the effects of those foods on brain health in terms of their depletion of existing micronutrients and the fact that they don't have enough micronutrients and the fact that they're always very poor in protein and protein breaks down to amino acids. So that's often the first place that I start with many people.
Imagine a world where your diet could significantly impact your mental health and addiction recovery. That's exactly what this episode of Behavioral Health Integration dives into. Jacob Minnig sits down with Nicole Laurent, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 15 years of experience, to discuss how ketogenic therapies are changing the landscape of mental health treatment.
