Nutritional Services
Unlike traditional psychiatry, which typically doesn’t look at the connection between a person’s diet and their mind, Amen Clinics understands that food is strongly linked to brain health and mental well-being.
What are Nutritional Services?
Nutrition suggestions are an important part of the Amen Clinics Method and are included in your full evaluation, yet we also offer comprehensive, one-on-one nutrition consultations, facilitated by trained dieticians and nutritionists at Amen Clinics. A nutrition plan tailored to your brain can be very beneficial, if for instance:
- You would you like to find natural ways to feel better with less (or even NO) medication.
- It is hard for you to lose weight—no matter what you try.
- You are interested in learning which foods can optimize your brain function as well as improve your mood and behavior.
Why Choose Amen Clinics for Brain Health Nutrition Coaching?
At Amen Clinics, we have long known that food can be medicine, or it can be poison. The foods you eat either enhance your brain health, cognitive function, and mental well-being, or they give you brain fog and mess with your moods. We have developed simple food rules intended to supercharge anyone’s brain function and have identified specific types of eating plans that work best depending on your brain type. With information about your brain, we can point you to the right strategies to help you think faster, feel happier, and achieve and maintain a healthy weight.
When You Eat Better, Your Brain and Body Work Better
Your brain uses 30% of your daily caloric intake; what we put into our bodies directly affects how well it works. We can assist you in determining which dietary plans are best for you to optimize your brain function and health status, as well as decrease the daily symptoms that prevent you from living to your fullest potential.
Studies show that our genetics predict a mere 20 – 30% of our overall longevity, while the other 70 – 80% is affected by our lifestyle choices.
Unhealthy eating habits can be an underlying cause of:
- Brain fog
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Joint pain
- Tissue & muscle damage
- Cravings
- Irritability
- Bloating
- Skin conditions
- Irregular sleep
- Difficulty focusing
- Hormone fluctuations
- Mood swings

- Many medical disorders
- And so much more!
