With May marked as Mental Health Awareness Month, a new wellness center has opened up in the Galleria area using nutritional psychiatry, according to an April 24 news release.

The gist

The Antidote — A Better You is a new wellness center by founder Meg Wilson, a Houston psychotherapist and certified recovery nutrition coach trained in amino acid therapy.

The Antidote uses a practice called nutritional psychiatry—an emerging field that leverages vitamins, amino acid therapy and diet to maximize physical and mental performance while addressing mental health challenges such as depression and anxiety.

“I founded The Antidote because I saw firsthand that traditional treatment alone wasn’t enough,” Wilson said. “By integrating functional medicine and nutritional psychiatry with traditional therapy, we’re able to help people heal more effectively—without relying solely on medication."


What else?

In May, The Antidote will host numerous workshops on topics such as assertive communication, conflict management, the impact of addiction and recovery and the vital connection between gut health and mental health.
