Course Description

Today’s clients are seeking more than symptom relief—they want holistic, sustainable solutions. Many are turning to nutrition and mindfulness to take control of their mental health, especially when traditional treatments fall short. As a clinician, you have a unique opportunity to stand out and meet this demand with evidence-based tools that support both the body & the mind.

In this 5-day, 30-CE credit training, you’ll learn how nutrition impacts brain function, mood, and emotional balance, and how to use food, supplements, and lifestyle strategies as clinical tools. You’ll also explore mindfulness through the lens of neuroscience and Western psychology, gaining skills to help clients regulate emotions, interrupt reactivity, and cultivate greater self-awareness. Together, these approaches form a powerful, integrative framework for mental wellness.

By the end, you’ll meet the education requirements to earn 2 certifications — one in mental health nutrition and one in mindfulness-informed care — plus a practical set of interventions you can use right away. Whether you’re expanding your skillset or deepening your impact, this training gives you the tools and credentials to confidently deliver whole-person care.

Objectives

  • Distinguish functional vs. conventional approaches to mental health.

  • Identify nutrients that affect mood, energy, and cognition.

  • Apply anti-inflammatory diets to support the gut-brain axis.

  • Use mindfulness for anxiety, trauma, and disordered eating.

  • Apply mindfulness to perfectionism, addiction, and anger.

  • Explain the HPA axis and neuroplasticity in stress regulation.

  • Teach mindfulness for self-awareness, compassion, and resilience.

  • Build integrative care plans with nutrition, mindfulness, and lifestyle tools.
