In short
Diet and lifestyle guidance addresses the everyday factors that can drive mental health symptoms: sleep, what and when you eat, exercise and stress. Justin Bethoney, PMHNP, author of The Mental Wellness Diet, builds a few prioritized changes into each plan and recommends a small number of supplements through Fullscript, with no commission.

From the author
Justin wrote The Mental Wellness Diet (2020) on how nutrients in healthy food shape mood and brain function.

A few changes, prioritized
Sleep, regular meals, movement and stress: the handful of changes most likely to help you.
- 03
No commission
Supplements are recommended through Fullscript with no profit to Justin and a 10% patient discount.
Food and the brain
Justin's book, The Mental Wellness Diet (2020), explains how key nutrients in healthy food improve mood, emotional regulation and overall brain function, and why nutrients abundant in ancestral diets matter for how we feel and function day to day.
More recent research has continued to support those ideas, including the importance of fueling the brain's frontal cortex, and of the balance between excitation and inhibition in the brain, which when off can overexcite emotional centers and contribute to anxiety, depression and scattered thinking.
Practical, prioritized changes
Rather than a long list of rules, visits focus on the few changes most likely to help: sleep, regular meals, movement and stress management. Lab results, symptoms and habits are tracked together so progress is visible.
Supplements, transparently
Justin recommends a few supplements to most patients, including therapy-only patients, through Fullscript. He takes no profit or commission; patients receive his non-commission 10% discount. He does not sell supplements or any other products.
