Counting calories and chasing macros might make sense for body composition but when it comes to mental health, that approach can fall short.

In this solo episode, Dr. Kelli breaks down why nutrition for your brain and nervous system is far more nuanced than any one-size-fits-all plan.

You’ll learn:

✨ Why calorie counting can disrupt your body’s sense of safety and intuition

✨ The real role of protein, fat, and carbs in supporting mood and neurotransmitters

✨ Why animal-based amino acids are superior building blocks for mental clarity and calm

✨ How dietary fats protect your brain, hormones, and nervous system

✨ What makes “mental-health macros” different from “weight-loss macros”

This is nourishment that honors biology, not diet culture ~ because your brain deserves better fuel than numbers on a label.
