Introducing... Freyja Kate Nutrition!

This rebrand has been a long time coming. Eating Back to Life was a pun on a classic death metal album which, whilst it amused me and those in the know, was not so great for SEO!

So, why Freyja Kate?
Kate is my middle name, named after my mother Kathryn. She sadly died 8 years ago due to leiomyosarcoma, a rare form of soft tissue cancer. The experience of losing her was one of the things that motivated me to study Nutrition; watching the aggressive treatments zap her life force, with doctors providing absolutely zero advice on diet or lifestyle and attributing her illness to simple "bad luck" - it was all so disempowering, and I knew there simply had to be alternative and additional means of supporting the body beyond the standard paradigm of care. It had seemed apparent to me for a long time that what we eat inevitably has a huge impact on our health - after all, the food we eat provides the raw building blocks of our bodies - and I became determined to dedicate my life's path to educating and empowering others to give their bodies the nutrients they need to be their healthiest, thriving selves. I wasn't able to save my mother, but I honour the hard lesson she taught me daily through giving my body what she needs to be healthy, and educating others to do the same. It therefore felt fitting to have this tribute to her in my name.

Huge thanks to Studio Artemisia for her incredible work on the new brand, and on my new website which can be found at https://freyjakatenutrition.co.uk

Certain mushroom species such as Lion's Mane have been well documented for their positive effects on mental health, but recent research suggests that general daily consumption of mushrooms may reduce the risk of developing depression!

A cross-sectional analysis by Ba et al. (2021) assessing dietary intake of 24,699 US adults found that a median intake of 4.9g mushrooms a day reduced the risk of developing depression by 69%, independent of sociodemographic and lifestyle risk factors. Data on specific mushrooms was not provided, and a dose-dependent relationship was not observed. Whilst these results must be treated with caution due to study limitations, they are certainly promising.

Eating more mushrooms certainly won't do you any harm - incorporating more mushrooms into your diet seems to me like an easy and delicious way of being proactive in taking care of your mental health!

Would you like some mushroom recipes?

How will you incorporate more mushrooms into your diet?

Hey friends! I realise I've been posting on here for nearly a year - but never introduced myself properly. So here is the story behind how I began my journey of becoming a Nutritional Therapist.

I suffered with anxiety and depression for many years; although I did not receive an official diagnosis until 2016 following the loss of my mother, I had experienced symptoms for as long as I can remember. I had no idea what was causing them. I felt powerless.

My mother’s final illness was a huge motivator for me to study Nutrition; watching the aggressive treatments zap her of her life force and ultimately her life, with doctors providing zero advice on lifestyle or diet, and no explanation as to why this was happening other than "bad luck", I knew there must be alternative and additional means of supporting the body beyond the standard paradigm of care. Additionally undergoing standard treatments for my own health issues and finding them at best ineffective, and at worst causing further issues, spurned me onwards to seek natural and effective remedies.

I enrolled at CNM - College of Naturopathic Medicine , and my eyes were opened to the interconnectedness of our bodies; how all systems interact with each other, and the incredible healing power of food as part of a holistic approach to healthcare. The focus was on finding and addressing the root cause of disease, rather than treating symptoms.

I was finally able to identify the physiological drivers behind my depression and anxiety, and adjust my diet and lifestyle accordingly. I have witnessed myself heal and begin to flourish - I am no longer the fearful and sad Freyja that shrank from life but instead an open and optimistic being relishing the wholeness of existence.

Diet alone is not a cure for depression, but it is a fundamental pillar in supporting us all in our healing journey. Allow me to empower you with the knowledge and tools tailored to your own situation so that you too may flourish. I offer one-to-one sessions over Zoom or in person in Leeds.
