Elizabeth Brandley is an AU PhD candidate and Adjunct Instructor who studies dietary patterns and dietary excitotoxins and their effects on
cognitive function, psychiatric symptoms (anxiety, depression, PTSD) and
chronic pain. She believes in a whole food dietary approach that is high in
nutrient-dense foods and limits intake of food additives. She also examines
intrapersonal and interpersonal influences on health behavior choices and how
various aspects of the social ecological model impact those choices.
Elizabeth has a B.S. in Human Environmental Sciences from the University of Alabama,Graduate Certificate in Nutritional Education from American University, and MS in Health Promotion Management from American University.
Elizabeth will guide WCL students through the connection between stress and nutrition as well as ways to decrease stress and improve cognitive functioning using nutrition in time for first semester finals.
