For hundreds of years, the brain and body were considered to be two separate entities. We now know that they are intricately connected via several systems. What happens in the body affects the brain and vice versa.

While mental health conditions are typically diagnosed via behavioural, emotional, and mood symptoms, there is now an ever-increasing understanding of the role that biochemical pathways play in mental wellbeing, particularly the immune system.

By understanding how these pathways are interconnected, Ecological Nutrition can offer several different ways of improving your mental health and wellbeing, based on not only traditional counselling and psychotherapy techniques but also on optimising function of the bodily systems that regulate emotions, mood, and behaviours.
