You can change your mood with food.....and more

Passionate nutrition

Sally TerBeck path to the study of nutrition began in 2008 when she was diagnosed with a severe sugar addiction accompanied by a period of anxiety and depression. Her doctor prescribed a dietary shift that changed her life. After abstaining from sugar for only one month, Sally’s anxiety decreased by an incredible amount. In fact, her results were so dramatic she became excited to learn more about how nutrition could affect changes in the rest of her body and mind. Now, after years of study, Sally has learned many other ways to improve mood stability and physical health for herself and others through nutrition. At the same time she also recognizes how difficult it can be to cook healthfully for yourself and others day after day and knows the shortcuts to eating well while saving time. For the past two years Sally has been working as a therapist at Seattle Counseling Service where she teaches an ongoing Food and Mood group. Her clinical interests are food’s effect on mood, nutritional support for side effects from medications, nutrition to support brain function, digestive health, LGBTQ and women health and empowerment.
