Physicians are always looking for new ways and treatments for mental and physical wellness. The conventional method of treating symptoms instead of underlying issues doesn’t seem to be working.
Truehope, of course, has been pioneering nutrition-based mental wellness solutions. Our products have been helping tens of thousands of people for over two decades, and they have spurned over 30 clinical studies by independent researchers in the field of nutrition and mental health.
And research studying the connection between mental health and nutrition just keeps expanding.
Just 3 years ago, for example, the International Society for Nutritional Psychiatry Research was formed. Its primary goal is to advance scientific study of the role of diet and nutrition in mental and brain health.
They work toward this goal through knowledge sharing, scientific collaboration, capacity building, multidisciplinary approaches, partnerships with other disciplines and organisations, and the translation of research evidence into policy and practice.
Research into conventional pharmaceutical options for mental health treatment has not produced significant advancements recently, prompting a growing shift toward more holistic treatment. And researchers—like those affiliated with ISNPR—are at the forefront of that shift.
ISNPR members number in the hundreds and consist of doctors and researchers from around the world. Research specialization among the membership is diverse, spanning such disciplines as psychiatry, psychology, integrative medicine, and all aspects of public and health and clinical practice.
Joining the ISNPR is free. Email s.dash@deakin.edu.au to join the membership list. You can also like the ISNPR on Facebook for regular updates on the field.
In the summer of 2017, ISNPR will hold its first international conference in Bethesda, USA. It will precede the American Psychological Association conference in Washington DC, allowing APA attendees to join ISNPR workshops.
World leaders in nutritional psychology, DOHaD and gut-brain-axis research will present at the conference, including Dr Michael Berk, Dr John Cryan, Dr Susan Prescott, and ISNPR President, Dr Felice Jacka.
To improve accessibility, the meeting will be available online.
