Julie Matthews, C.N.C, will be presenting on The Role of Food, Nutrition, and Diets in Autism and Mental Health Disorders at the 4th Annual Integrative Medicine for Mental Health Conference in Chicago, IL, September 20-22, 2013.
Online, September 4, 2013 (Newswire.com) - Food allergens, nutrient deficiencies, and a poor diet can dramatically affect behavior and mental health. Improvements come from the choice to avoid problem foods while increasing nutrient intake to replenish deficiencies and balance biochemistry. Special diets for autism and mental health disorders help heal the gut, reduce inflammation, eradicate yeast, and lead to improved overall physical and mental health. Julie Matthews will review diet strategies such as gluten-free, dairy-free, grain-free, low sugar, salicylate, and low oxalate.
Julie Matthews will explore which foods can negatively affect mental health, and what foods help nourish the body, its systems, and the brain. Other objectives to be presented include how special diets can aid healing of the body and the mind, and what patients can do regarding diet to see results right away and support the treatment approach recommended by their physician.
