Research, including insights from nutritional psychiatry, shows that consuming nutrient-rich, whole foods, maintaining quality sleep, engaging in regular physical activity, and practising effective stress management can help reduce anxiety, boost mood, and improve focus.
At Listening Room, nutrition, lifestyle, and well-being coaching are woven into counselling to help youth and young adults care for both mind and body. Drawing on lifestyle and well-being principles inspired by leading research from Harvard Medical, the focus is on practical steps that make a real difference, from understanding the gut–brain connection to discovering how anti-inflammatory, nutrient-rich foods can support mood, focus, and energy. Sessions also examine how maintaining steady blood sugar levels, quality sleep, and balanced daily routines can enhance emotional resilience. The aim is to create small, achievable changes, whether through mindful eating, better sleep habits, or stress-reducing activities that naturally fit into everyday life and help build a stronger, more balanced sense of well-being.
