Jayne Reynolds, the founder and CEO of Sycamore and Sage Nutrition in Mesa, Arizona, undertook a transformative journey with the Academy for Addiction and Mental Health Nutrition’s Level 1 Core Training. As a holistic nutritionist passionate about understanding the connections between nutrition and mental health, Jayne was eager to share her experience navigating the challenges of anxiety, depression, and addiction.
Upon enrolling in the Level 1 Core Training, Jayne approached it with hope and skepticism. Could it truly deepen her understanding of amino acid therapy?
To her delight, the program exceeded her expectations. From the outset, she encountered concepts that expanded her knowledge, such as dopamine pathways and reward deficiency syndrome, shedding light on the biochemical underpinnings of mental health issues.
The Practical Side of Healing: Hands-On Learning
What distinguished the Academy’s training for Jayne was its emphasis on practical application. It wasn’t just about theories but about applying them in real-world scenarios. Through the program, Jayne learned to make informed adjustments to supplement regimens based on genetic history and ancestry. This hands-on approach boosted her confidence and empowered her to make tangible differences in her clients’ lives.
The Value of Community: A Network of Support
The training fostered a sense of community for Jayne. She often felt isolated as a solopreneur, but through the program, she connected with a diverse group of peers. This network became an invaluable resource, providing support, knowledge, and camaraderie in a field where solitude is shared.
A Dive into Biochemistry
The training encouraged Jayne to explore new areas of interest, such as the human body’s biochemistry and the mechanisms of action behind medications and supplements. This deeper understanding proved to be a game-changer for her practice.
Encouraged by her success in Level 1 Core Training, Jayne eagerly pursued and completed Level 2 Advanced Training of the program. The advanced knowledge and skills she acquired were instrumental in advancing her practice and enhancing the support she provided to her clients.
Reflecting on her journey, Jayne attributes much of her success to the education and insights from the Academy’s training. She highly recommends this course to nutrition, mental health, or addiction practitioners to commit to this program, recognizing its power to break down stigmas and a deeper understanding of mental health biochemistry.
