The Better Mood Blueprint
A 6-month 1:1 personalised nutrition and functional medicine program aimed at helping you safely reduce your antidepressants*, whilst aiming to minimise potential withdrawal symptoms, and improving your mood.
The Better Mood Blueprint aims to:
-
Create a strong foundation of health before you start antidepressant titration
-
Minimise the risk or impact of any withdrawal symptoms
-
Address the root cause behind why you needed antidepressants in the first place
-
Optimise your brain chemistry, and moods, and ensure that they remain so long after your medication has ended
​
Why The Better Mood Blueprint:
-
Antidepressants have their place, but more of us are using them, and staying on them, for longer than ever before.
-
Antidepressants are a band-aid! They do not address the cause behind why you needed them in the first place.
-
Addressing individual biochemistry, genetic make-up, nutrition &lifestyle, and environment are all key factors in being able to optimise mental health and brain chemistry, for good.

*Please note: any changes in your antidepressant medication must be done with the agreement of your prescribing doctor. I am more than happy to work alongside them, but I cannot personally make any antidepressant dosage recommendations.
Working together
I’m Nicola, a Registered Nutritionist & Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner, and if there is one thing that I am super passionate about, it is is showing others that they can change their mind.
Poor mental health is not something to learn to live with, or see as inevitable.
The Better Mood Blueprint is my signature six-month programme that is rooted in helping you to understanding your own uniqueness. Together we will explore what may be driving your moods and the need for antidepressants, how your genetics and your gut may be playing a role in your mood regulation and how to adapt your diet and lifestyle to improve your mood without reliance on medications.
This starts by building a solid foundation and a personalised fiet and lifestyle plan for you.
After which, you may then consider starting to titrate off of your antidepressants* and with the aim to minimise any withdrawal symptoms, whilst also knowing that you are balancing your brain chemistry and moods for life.

* N.B. I am not medically qualified to recommend or discuss how or when you can reduce your antidepressants. This must be advised by your prescribing doctor, whom I am happy to work alongside,
but I’ll also set you up to be in the best shape to do so!
At the heart of this programme is functional medicine and nutrition which is all about understanding your why: why you may have needed antidepressants in the first place, understanding your own individual story and biochemistry, and then resetting that balance with functional testing and dietary changes to optimise your brain chemistry and moods.
