Neuronutrition

Meaning

Neuronutrition is the specialized discipline that studies the profound and direct influence of dietary components, essential micronutrients, and bioactive food compounds on the structure, function, and signaling of the central nervous system. In the context of hormonal health, it emphasizes how nutritional status provides the foundational building blocks and cofactors necessary for neurotransmitter synthesis and hypothalamic-pituitary axis regulation. Optimizing neuronutrition is a key non-pharmacological strategy for supporting mood, cognition, and endocrine balance.
