MARK LEVINE, R.D. he/him

Healthy body, healthy mind—there is a fundamental link between the two. What you eat not only has an impact on your physical health, but your mental and emotional health as well.  This is why registered dietitians can be an essential addition to your team to help you feel your best both mentally and physically.

As a registered dietitian, I have encountered an expansive array of client demographics and backgrounds, as well working closely with those struggling with mental health issues.  Seeing how diagnoses such as eating disorders, anxiety, depression, and struggles with self-esteem and self-worth affect a person’s eating habits, I believe nutrition education and support can be an integral component of a person’s overall wellbeing.

My approach to mental health and wellness requires a holistic approach. Eating a balanced diet that contains the nutrients your brain and gut needs can complement other therapies and approaches you’re using to manage mental health. I aim to ensure you’re getting the right foods for your particular circumstances, focus on your needs, taking into account your individual requirements, and tailor a plan to suit you, your life, and lifestyle.
