It is built on the foundation of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) which you can learn more about <a href="https://cih.ucsd.edu/mindfulness/mindfulness-based-stress-reduction-mbs…;, and integrates mindfulness practices with performance science to support optimal performance, “flow,” and sustained well-being.</p><p>The standard mPEAK program includes: An intensive 3-day training, six weeks of virtual integration sessions, group dialogue, guided practices, and applied exercises.

The Effect of Anti-Inflammatory Diet on Clinical and Biologic Outcomes in Long-COVID (PASC) Patients
This study aimed to assess the feasibility of a 12-week anti-inflammatory diet (ITIS) among Long-COVID (PASC) patients. This study also explored diet-induced changes in clinical symptoms and plasma inflammatory marker levels. The intervention included individualized dietary counseling and 2 weeks of a Long-COVID ITIS diet plan including a food basket of key ingredients, recipes, and manuals to learn how to follow an anti-inflammatory diet.
Study findings and publications can be found under the Outcomes section of this website.

Glutathione Support for Health: A Randomized Trial
This randomized, placebo-controlled study aimed to determine the feasibility and potential effects on glutathione status using a Whole-Food Plant-Based (WFPB) diet among an adult population with type-2 diabetes. The intervention group included educational classes and meal-planning recommendations aiming to increase the intake of glutathione-rich foods.

Clinical and Biological Changes in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients Exposed to an Anti-inflammatory Diet
This pilot study investigated how a short-term anti-inflammatory dietary intervention might reduce pain and inflammation in individuals with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Over a two-week period, participants followed a specialized diet (ITIS) rich in omega-3 fats, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory ingredients like turmeric, while avoiding pro-inflammatory foods such as red meat, gluten, nightshades, and lactose. Researchers observed improvements in joint tenderness, swelling, and overall disease activity, suggesting dietary changes may complement standard RA treatments.

Clinical, Inflammatory, and Microbiome Effects of Dietary Modification in Women With Endometriosis
This study aimed to determine whether increasing consumption of a Whole-Food Plant-Based (WFPB) diet can improve gut microbiome diversity, quality of life, pain, and inflammation in women with endometriosis. Study outcomes were measured before and after a 3-month intervention, including dietary counseling, online cooking classes, and individual and group health coach sessions.

Effects of Cannabidiol (CBD) Versus Placebo as an Adjunct to Antipsychotics in Early Psychosis
This 6-week double-blinded trial examines whether individuals in the early stages of psychosis (EP) respond to 1000 mg of endocannabinoids (CBD) with the aim of improving positive, negative, and cognitive symptoms of psychosis. Researchers are exploring the possibility that CBD might reduce anxiety, and perhaps normalize biological stress response. Symptoms, eating behaviors, metabolic parameters, cannabinoid, and biomarkers of inflammation and cortisol are measured at baseline, 3 weeks and end of study in a population with a diagnosis of first episode psychosis who are stabilized on antipsychotic medication.

Aromatherapy and Healing Visual Art for Hospitalized Cancer Patients
The study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and explore the potential effects of using aromatherapy and visual mindfulness as complementary therapies to address pain and nausea in hospitalized cancer patients. Aromatherapy involves olfactory stimulation of selected scents via a patch, and visual mindfulness involves watching curated videos by cinematographer Louie Schwartzberg.
