“ I have had anxiety since I was a child, and tried everything from therapy to medication, and always found those things to help in the short term. I was looking for a long term solution when I found nutrition as prescription and it changed my life. Now, I’m off medication and enjoy overall wellness and happiness. ”

the narrative
“The cause of mental illnesses including depression, is multi-factorial, therefore health outcomes are likely to improve with more holistic interventions, rather than dependence on anti-depressants only. If there is anything as important, if not more, as meds and therapy, it is the use of personalized nutrition to treat depression.”
Humans have found a variety of substances that can quell anxiety and support sleep. Some are more effective than others, and some, although effective in the short run, can exacerbate problems in the long run.
Have you ever felt anxious and then had a stomachache? Have you also wondered how an emotional feeling such as anxiety would elicit a physical symptom as stomach upset?
Research is finding that processed foods, fast foods, baked goods and sweets can exacerbate symptoms of depression, while a diet with lots of fruits, vegetables, fibre, and healthy fats can help to reduce symptoms of depression.
All of us are familiar with anxiety — sweaty palms and pounding heart, tense muscles and upset stomach. Anxiety is a normal response to stress, and helps us to pay attention, prepare for important events, and avoid danger.
Meet our Founders
Our team is led by a scientist and a former wrestler.
Linta used to be a national wrestler preparing for the Olympics until her body and mental health shut down because of the inflammation she was experiencing. Linta had little success with prescribed medications until she met a medical practitioner who helped her through dietary and lifestyle changes.
Dr. Chidozie Ojobor has a PhD in Molecular Genetics from the University of Toronto.

He works with our team of doctors and nutritionists to understand and implement how food can be used to improve mental health outcomes.
