The field of science encompasses how diet and nutrients affect the human body. While the field of nutrition examines how diet and nutrients impact the health of the human body, it does not provide formalized education or training in the relationship between dietary and nutrient intake and mood, behavior, and psychological processes. There is a wealth of research within the intersection between the fields of Nutrition and Psychology, yet before NP, no formal discipline existed to address the DMHR formally.
