About David Wiss PhD

Dr. David Wiss is an independent thinker unafraid to challenge the status quo in the nutrition field. Dr. Wiss pioneered the field of nutrition for addiction recovery and is a world-renowned expert in disordered eating. His mental health research bridges gaps between neurological, psychological, behavioral, and nutritional sciences.

Dr. David has treated over 1,000 patients in the last twelve years using a food-positive functional medicine approach through his practice, Nutrition In Recovery. Dr. Wiss has developed innovative methods for using nutrition to improve mental health without feeling like a “diet.” Dr. Wiss believes gut health is the key to brain health and wants to show you how to heal yourself and help your clients. 

After conducting original research and developing a unique framework for treating individuals and in group settings, Dr. Wiss put all his clinical pearls into the Wise Mind Nutrition app. If you’ve been searching for a novel nutrition education tool to add to your counseling practice, Dr. David is here to help.

Dr. Wiss is available for professional supervision, consulting, speaking, coaching, treatment, and manuscript collaboration. He recognizes that we desperately need a paradigm shift in the nutrition field to end the practitioner wars. The vision is clear: we need to improve patient outcomes in mental health settings, and the time for new frameworks is here and now.
