Health and Wellness Consulting: The Link Between Diet, Lifestyle, and Mental Health


At Courageous Counseling & Consulting, we are committed to providing comprehensive care that goes beyond traditional therapy. Our therapists are taking a bold step toward enhancing our holistic approach by undergoing training to become certified Functional Therapeutic Diet Specialists. This certification, offered by the Primal Health Coach Institute, empowers our team to integrate nutrition and lifestyle strategies into our practice, supporting the philosophy that “Food Dictates Mood.”

The Power of Functional Therapeutic Diets: A Holistic Approach

Functional Therapeutic Diets focus on utilizing nutrition as a therapeutic tool, emphasizing the profound impact food choices have on mental and emotional well-being. This certification equips our therapists with the knowledge and skills to tailor dietary recommendations that align with our FARM over PHARMA philosophy—a commitment to prioritizing natural, holistic solutions over pharmaceutical interventions.

Why Functional Therapeutic Diets Matter:
