Food as medicine: A way through Mental Health

Two Natural Ladies have a great interview with Sal Prothero from Whole Food Nutrition.

Originally Sal wanted to be a racing driver or jet pilot, but now as a university trained nutritionist she knows she has picked the right pathway

Vicki, Jo & Sal discuss Sal’s struggles with anxiety in her early years and her difficulty finding a way through it. Once Sal discovered nutrition and the role food plays in our mental health she knew this was what she wanted to do to help others who are struggling.

But it wasn’t till her daughter, in year 8, started having her own issues around her mental health and the roller coaster ride they went on in the mental health system, that Sal realised there was a better way!

Where to go? Who will help? Medication?

Sal started treating her daughter, not with medication but with supplements and whole foods.

Sal has a keen interest in the brain's chemicals and her role is often to educate people that eating whole foods will make a difference to our health & wellbeing.

Sal is understanding and empathic with her client and recognises the importance of this when helping others. As Sal says, when you have been through it yourself it makes it easy to feel some understanding for others

Sal’s passion for gut health and eliminating (as much as possible) refined carbs and sugars in our diet. Two Natural Ladies find out Sal’s FIVE TOP NUTRIENTS and why?

Two Natural Ladies find out more about Sal’s own journey with mental strength and how important lifestyle; movement; personal development and mindfulness are for her.

Showing gratitude every day for what she has, again shows us what an exceptional woman Sal is. Everyone will see a bit of them in this podcast and find something to use in their day to day life.
