Nutrition & Mental Health

The connection between nutrition and mental health is undeniable—what we eat profoundly impacts our mood, energy levels, and overall sense of well-being. Issues like brain fog, fatigue, mood swings, and trouble focusing are often linked to nutritional imbalances. At Cypress Counseling & Wellness, we take a holistic approach to mental health, recognizing that nutrition plays a vital role in how we feel and function every day. Our specialized services—including wellness panels, counseling, and coaching—are designed to help you understand your unique nutritional needs and optimize your mental health.

Our wellness panels benefit people of all ages, even if you don’t necessarily present with “symptoms”, providing personalized insights that help create an individualized nutrition plan. We are continually amazed by the science and technology that make it possible to understand our bodies on such a detailed level! Simply consuming enough of a nutrient doesn’t guarantee your body is absorbing it properly—understanding your specific needs allows us to tailor recommendations that can make a real difference in your overall health and well-being.

Our Wellness Panels

We offer a range of wellness panels to help you understand how your body is functioning and identify any nutritional imbalances that may be affecting your mental health:

  • Fatty Acid Testing: Fatty acids, particularly Omega-3s, play an essential role in brain health. Imbalances can contribute to mood disorders, cognitive issues, and inflammation. Our testing helps you identify deficiencies and imbalances, providing a foundation for improving brain function and emotional well-being.

  • Nutrigenomics: Your genetic makeup can influence how your body processes nutrients, which in turn affects your mental health. Our nutrigenomics testing allows us to understand your genetic predispositions and tailor nutritional recommendations that align with your unique needs.

  • Food Sensitivity Testing: Food sensitivities can contribute to inflammation, fatigue, and mood disturbances. By identifying specific sensitivities, we can help you make informed dietary changes that support optimal mental and physical health.

Specialized Support for Nutritional Health

Nutrition plays a key role in mental health, but it can be challenging to make meaningful changes without the right support. Our specialized counseling and coaching services are here to guide you in making sustainable lifestyle changes that enhance both your physical and mental well-being. We work with you to develop a plan that is tailored to your goals, whether that means addressing specific deficiencies, improving overall diet quality, or exploring how certain foods impact your mental health.

Our approach is compassionate and empowering—we want you to feel informed and in control of your health journey. By combining wellness panels, expert guidance, and ongoing support, we help you take actionable steps toward better mental health and well-being.
