This presentation will explore how the foods we eat on a daily basis provide us with the nutrients we need to ensure proper neurotransmitter synthesis. Unfortunately, many clients fall short of consuming the adequate nutrients necessary for optimal neurotransmitter production through dietary intake alone which may make them more susceptible to mental health depressive disorders. This presentation will cover the specific nutrients that support specific neurotransmitter productions such as catecholamines, (dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine) serotonin, etc. - how they support this production, and ultimately, what foods are the highest and most bioavailable for each of the nutrients. The presentation will provide dietary takeaways that those struggling with depression can focus on to ensure adequate intake of the nutrients discussed.
