As a Health Psychology clinic, it is our mission to remove obstacles from the healing process. Mind and Body are a continuum and affect health and illness. One of the major obstacles to healing is nutrition: good nutrients feeding body and mind. As a society we have moved to fast, efficient, cheap. While this may be acceptable in some areas in our lives, it is not working when it comes to food, nutrition and health. HEALTH PSYCHOLOGY Sacramento offers nutrition-oriented therapies, patients learn about foods, how foods affect our bodies and our ability to heal. We offer hands on small cooking groups, and provide anti-inflammatory meal plans. CAM – Complementary and Alternative Medicines are used to jumpstart the body, address nutritional deficiencies and balance difficulties arising from prolonged exposure to stress. Our nutrition program is under the expert guidance of Dr. Maria Cartwright, Doctor of Naturopathy.
