Food Intake

Written By Christopher Sanchez Lascurain

There's more and more research being conducted indicating that food influences mood. Basically the science of food's affect on mood is based on the fact that dietary changes can bring about changes in our brain structure (chemically and physiologically), which can lead to altered behavior. The connection between food and mood is all about tryptophan, a nonessential amino acid. As more tryptophan enters the brain, more serotonin is synthesized in the brain, and mood tends to improve. Serotonin, known as a mood regulator, is made naturally in the brain. from tryptophan with some help from healthy food intake

Hi, I'm Christopher Sanchez Lascurain, MSW, LCSW. I'm a somatic therapist trained in AEDP, and I work with empathic professionals who are stressed, anxious, or burned out and need more than just talk to feel better. We use grounding, breathwork, and body-based exercises alongside traditional talk therapy, because real change happens when the body and mind are both part of the work. My goal is simple: help you reconnect with your body, shift the patterns that aren't working anymore, and feel like yourself again.
