I'm glad you addressed the effect of diet on brain health. Sure it doesn't "heal" depression, but every small improvement helps one to get better in the long term.
Daily magnesium citrate makes a HUGE difference in my mood. If I'm depressed, I drink a couple of tablespoons of magnesium citrate, and by the end of the day, I'm feeling like a new person. Another thing I've noticed, and this is TMI but I'm going to post it anyway. I had to start keeping track of my bowel movements because during the pandemic when my stress levels were super high (I live in a densely populated city), I stopped having regular bowel movements (probably because I had to stop going to the gym, my cortisol levels increasing, and my general movement around my small apartment decreased. I found that as my bowel movements decreased because motility decreased, my mood sharply declined and...conversely...it would improve within minutes of having a bowel movement. Sorry to discuss impertinent details, but I feel like if this info helps one person notice a similar link to motility and their mood, then it is worth it. Best wishes to all! Take care of yourselves and we are going into cold & flu season (and stressful holiday time with fam/friends).
Thanks for this video. Diets affect on mental health is often overlooked. In September I felt terrible so I quit alcohol, then all refined, added sugar (not fruit) but I only started to feel better when I stopped eating ALL grains (rice, pasta, bread, oats, flour) in all forms and avoided fibre rich vegetables (potatoes, carrots, pumpkin). The daily struggle with fatigue and anxiety has gone. It’s still a case of trial and error to reintroduce foods back into my diet as my gut heals.
After suffering for depression, anxiety and chronic pain I found out through trial and error that I don’t process carbohydrates well at all. I started with low carb and then moved to keto and eventually began carnivore. Removing grains, sugars and processed foods have LITERALLY saved my life. Off 6 meds and down over 55 pounds. Food is medicine. The cure that no one talks about.
I also have the Mthfr mutation and have to have b-12 shots every three weeks. I can attest that it causes mental challenges and extreme fatigue. I would definitely encourage anybody that has these two symptoms to get their B-12 checked. Also I am trying to stick to the Mediterranean diet for a heart issue and the two things my nutritionist had exchange was only eat sourdough bread and I eat toast every morning and now instead of using butter, I use natural honey. Those are two easy things to change. Since I eat alone I also would get a lot of prepackaged frozen meals which of course he discouraged but he said if I did think I needed to have them to choose the Healthy Choice Brand. Thanks for this great video. 😊
My Dr has suggested I follow a Mediterranean diet and you just gave me WAY MORE information about what to do than he did, thank you so much. Now I can get started 👍👍
I know about the Mediterranean diet & how healthy it is. I try my best to stick to this way of eating wherever possible. I have noticed my energy, anxiety & depression has taken a bit of a nosedive lately due to a death in the family. And I haven't had time to look after my diet, but I will now. Thanks for the reminder - I appreciate this very well-timed video. Off to buy some salmon & greens for dinner now🥰
A crucial aspect regarding food is affordability. Many Mediterranean cultures have a higher ratio of their population growing their own food than the US and certain European nations. In most parts of the world olive oil is three times as expensive as canola oil, access to many healthy vegetables is seasonal and not year round, fish is much more costly than red meat and nuts are much more expensive to consume as a routine snack than a lot of people feel justified spending. Any society in which healthy food is more expensive than fast food will have a health crisis. There are several countries in Asia and Africa that have a long legacy of a rich and nourishing diet but the ones that have American styled fast food forced upon them have started developing the same pattern of health issues as Americans.
I do think convenience and culture norms make it much harder to eat healthily in the US, and I like to grow my own food. But there are many affordable ways to eat healthily, they just require more work. Cooking beans from dry, making your own bread, even just cooking for yourself- it's less expensive than buying meals, but a lot more work, so there are definitely barriers.
@@TherapyinaNutshell Your comment is from an American perspective which is understandable and appreciated but it doesn't take into account how difficult it is to achieve for a lot of people. I am not an American. In my place, people aren't so much substituting home cooked meals with fast food although the fast food culture has certainly gained a foothold here but the fact that our grandparents and great grandparents did not need to worry about the quality of their food like our generation has to is a crucial factor. They almost entirely grew their own food. With urbanization, that culture has been greatly negatively impacted. I am sure that an American working on minimum wage whose living in a rented place and has debt cannot afford to grow most of their own food. It requires time, land and capital. On top of that, for most people in the world, both due to urbanization and the America fast/packaged food culture, it's simply not financially feasible to spend three or four times on something when their immediate needs have to be prioritised and met. I am not saying it's impossible to achieve for everyone because that's obviously not true. However, I do think with how expensive healthy food is, it's extremely difficult to make many of these changes on a regular long-term basis.
@@aamnahere6250understand all that you’re saying. That said, you can get creative and you can buy in bulk a regardless of income level and living situation. Knowledge is freely available online. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Yes, you have to find ways to access things. And for example, if you live in a communist country, then you’ll be very restricted, or if in a very poor country. But if not, you can even grow food indoors, you can make small changes to your existing diet, you can cut costs in other areas and increase grocery budget to improve the ingredients sourced. If not an experienced cook, that skill can be gained (speaking from experience here because my cooking skills are rather limited). I also have family in communist countries that are starving so I completely understand how things are completely inaccessible to some, which is really sad. But to many people, they have the ability to eat healthily but are choosing otherwise. I think there’s so much room for improvement. Speaking as someone with 6 autoimmune disorders, I hope people start to wake up to the issues they can bring on themselves from unhealthy eating because it really is so avoidable. You don’t even have to eat perfectly, but even eating as healthily as your budget can handle would be a great start.
@@aamnahere6250You raise valid points. The US has food deserts, large cities, safety concerns also. Many years ago when I rented and lived in the heart of a big city, I gardened in a community garden. It was on land "reclaimed" from an old lot. I have warm memories of that experience. I'm very glad I had that opportunity. I feel very grateful for my small backyard garden now. Peace.
Into keto alternating with carnivore since 2017 myself, I'm very much in favor of getting off the upside down 'food pyrmid' and the Standard American Diet for better health, physical and mental. I applaud you for doing this topic. To so many, including doctors and other health care professionals, diet is some unrelated topic, when in fact, in many cases, it's everything.
Thank you so much for what you do. You’re helping me learn so much to help myself and my family. I’m autistic and so are my children , so we’ve had mixed luck with therapy. Learning these things helps me understand things in a way that I can apply them to myself and to my family in a way that works for us ❤
I drizzle olive oil on my bread & toast, rather than spreading butter. I learnt this in Spain! The only thing to watch is how fast the oil flows from the bottle. In Spain their spouts are much finer than I’ve found in Australia.
So great! Thank you! You are easing my symptoms with great tips and explaining the science behind what we do to improve our mental health. Highly recommend your podcasts.
Thank you for this very informative and helpful video! I think that I will try this.I will add some of these foods in slowly as you mentioned such as almonds, walnuts, olive oil, and salmon to start with.I am confident that this will help.I know how important gut health is in mood elevation.
Yup, when I am getting weepy it is time to give myself a shot of B12. Works like a charm! (Note - only do this if you are anemic). Vit pills work just fine for most ppl.
@@karennovosat5435 Have you had blood tests done to see what your levels are for BN12 and other essential vitamins? You should also do an alergy, intolerance test to see if food is affecting your gut. I have had depression and psychological issues for over 20 years. My diet after those tests, has helped me fix 90% of it. Good luck.
@karennovosat5435 Obviously, the things with emotional causes need working through, but sometimes our bodies are lacking nutrients, see a doc of course. There might be a medical reason for malabsorption if it is ongoing. And whatever battles we face in life, they work better with all cylinders firing.
This is all good info, but it doesn't help when a lot of people don't get access to good food either because it's way too expensive or because they're disabled and can't make their own meals. Healthy food is very expensive and take a lot more work than processed food. Food banks don't help if you can't get out to them, and SNAP hasn't kept up with food prices. Then we've got the problem of food deserts and work schedules that don't allow time in the day to prepare healthy food. Fish and nuts especially are extremely expensive. These problems compound because poverty itself causes anxiety and depression too.
I really like your videos, I have been doing Low Carb for about 3 years. Slowly going lower on the Carbs has helped me. (I can not eat any fish so this is why i went the Low Carb way) But keep the videos coming.
Glad I got in a recent video of Therapy in a nutshell. These days it's gotten harder to keep up with this channel on recent uploads. I'm always feeling I'm behind on the latest and have to settle for a video of past months if not years. This was helpful as I have recently been changing oil dried cooking to olive oil cooked meals. What I learned today was in the opening about . The brains role in our well being. Something about 2 percent in weight and another figure. I'll run it again and catch those statistics again. Great information gonna load up on my veggies this grocery trip forward.
I also have the MTHFR gene variation and suffer with depression. I am aware of the link between the two but I appreciate you mentioning it in the video. Good reminder...it's partly genetic.❤
Jury is still out with this. When everything goes smoothly and my environment and surroundings are going great I feel amazing even on a diet of McDonald’s and junk but when my situation in life is terrible and I’m having a bad week I eat fruit and salads and it has not affect on my mood watsoever so for me it is mostly all to do with my surroundings and environment. I really wanted to believe the opposite
6:48 suggest emphasizing “Extra Virgin” in the first bullet point don’t exclude those words, lots of people assume anything with “olive oil” is the same and it’s not as if the words extra virgin are not there then it is highly processed using solvents to extract the oil from the leftover pulp and seeds.
I eat every day a hand full of nuts, i feel it gives good long energy and i have always a small amount of nuts/figs with me in a small container instead i crave for some sugar..Sugar hypes me up but after that i feel down and low in energy.
Thoughts re: those who have (or have loved ones who have) eating disorders. Perhaps with your initial disclaimer about medical advice, this particular video could have had a stronger one geared specifically for those with eating disorders. This is all good info, both for those who haven’t heard this and as a refresher. I appreciate how you were direct on pointing out that it isn’t about restriction, but rather adding nutrients & starting slowly. I would advise though, for people to be very thoughtful about sharing this with those with eating disorders. Maybe talk about it as a plan, not a diet. The brief mention of the Keto diet may be triggering, however well intended. I think I will choose to mention some of this to my loved one and ask her to speak to her team before sharing this video. The nutritional advice is sound, but someone with an eating disorder could really run with this.
yeah, "dieting" when it means "restrictive eating" it very harmful, and I tried to be sensitive to that in my language without spending too much time getting sidetracked, but you're right- for someone with an eating disorder, this isn't the right video for them
Mam please save me. I'm in severe depression. At first I thought it would go away but it never did and I felt suicidal . I can't fight it alone. Please save me. I don't want to die by suicide.
The genuinely sad thing to me is that eating like this is prohibitively expensive anymore. If I want to buy salmon it's $20+/lb or if I go to a cheaper store it's always got a funky taste and texture. Fresh fruit and veggies go bad within a day or two of buying it. Frozen fruit is flavorless and useless for anything outside smoothies and jam. Most canned fruit is soggy and packed with corn syrup. Frozen veg is nice and cheap at least. And God forbid you want olive oil that tastes decent, that's like $20+ per bottle. Nuts are also crazy expensive anymore. I'm having a hard time spending $200 on a Sunday grocery trip and then having most of it expire before or by Thursday ☹️
Disappointed you didn't talk about effects of sugar on depression and mood. Fruit and high starch vegetables convert to sugar too! Low carb I believe is better for mental health.
I am lebanese living in Lebanon and I obviously eat a Mediterranean diet by nature. One thing I struggle with is nuts and seeds as snacks. I find they make me dizzy and nauseated. Any idea why/ any advice?
Stop snacking. Many different modern health gurus are proving...eating only twice a day or all food in a 4 to 6 hour eating window does wonders for better health. Snacking is almost universally now known to be a major factor in unwanted weight gain, tooth decay, and various GI issues.

So glad you put this information out there. I've noticed the effects that food choices have on my mood and energy levels. If you're sceptical, I encourage you to swap out one meal a day with some body and mind healthy options, keep some notes on how you feel a few hours later with energy levels and thoughts. Use that information to see if you want to incorporate more alternative food options to other meals and snacks. Little changes can create new habits. I think of our bodies like a machine running on programming, and if we're aware, we get to dictate and input the new programming. Just remember - garage in = garbage out
Keeping a journal of foods eaten and how you feel is a wonderful idea. It was the beginning of my becoming free of what I was told would be most likely a lifetime case of severe IBS and other GI issues. All gone now, and I fixed what 5 doctors could not...with a different way of eating. Sugar and wheat were my worst offenders.
@Robnord1 That's Amazing! I love hearing stories like this. We've got one go on this rock; don't just take someone else's word on something. Experiment for yourself, keep a journal and see what works for you. We're all built uniquely
My biggest problem is how much i strongly dislike fish. I know we absorb nutrients in food better than supplements, is it still better than nothing at all? Everything else i seem to have on lock. Reintroducing whole wheat carbs after being on Keto will be tough too. Having fermented foods and caring about my gut health has been great for bloating, I've noticed too. Its just not about losing weight anymore, its about mitigating inflammation and being comfortable - in my body and also mind. Hoping to amp up my nutrition! Then i think i will add more strenuous exercise (I have a very active profession) to my repertoire too.
There's some new research coming out that for people with schizophrenia, bipolar, and other severe forms of mental illness, medical keto can be amazing for them, it's coming up in a new video I'm making
I work in the drug/alcohol field and I really enjoy your videos. However all your arm movements are not only distracting, they greatly increase anxiety. And, I imagine you need to speak so fast to get in all the information in the time you allow, but again, it's overwhelming when you're trying to absorb all the information. Please, please slow it down and stop your arms from swinging all over. I wonder if others have a problem with the overload?
Idk, I’ve seen a lot of evidence to suggest carnivore diets improve mental health much more than “33%” and vegan diets have claimed to help mental health too. Instead of doing a video on a specific diet, you should be doing a video on how to BE CONSISTENT with dietary changes. I already know eating healthier will help; what I - and many others - have a hard time with is actually following through and sticking to changes. Seriously. People aren’t stupid, we know what we need to be eating, but how do we override the biological urge to consume all the processed foods?

This is all good info, both for those who haven’t heard this and as a refresher. I appreciate how you were direct on pointing out that it isn’t about restriction, but rather adding nutrients & starting slowly.
I would advise though, for people to be very thoughtful about sharing this with those with eating disorders. Maybe talk about it as a plan, not a diet. The brief mention of the Keto diet may be triggering, however well intended. I think I will choose to mention some of this to my loved one and ask her to speak to her team before sharing this video. The nutritional advice is sound, but someone with an eating disorder could really run with this.
yeah, "dieting" when it means "restrictive eating" it very harmful, and I tried to be sensitive to that in my language without spending too much time getting sidetracked, but you're right- for someone with an eating disorder, this isn't the right video for them

I live in Portugal 😊
Awesome.
Mam please save me. I'm in severe depression. At first I thought it would go away but it never did and I felt suicidal . I can't fight it alone. Please save me. I don't want to die by suicide.
Does it include wine? 🤩🤩
The genuinely sad thing to me is that eating like this is prohibitively expensive anymore. If I want to buy salmon it's $20+/lb or if I go to a cheaper store it's always got a funky taste and texture. Fresh fruit and veggies go bad within a day or two of buying it. Frozen fruit is flavorless and useless for anything outside smoothies and jam. Most canned fruit is soggy and packed with corn syrup. Frozen veg is nice and cheap at least. And God forbid you want olive oil that tastes decent, that's like $20+ per bottle. Nuts are also crazy expensive anymore. I'm having a hard time spending $200 on a Sunday grocery trip and then having most of it expire before or by Thursday ☹️
Disappointed you didn't talk about effects of sugar on depression and mood. Fruit and high starch vegetables convert to sugar too! Low carb I believe is better for mental health.
I am lebanese living in Lebanon and I obviously eat a Mediterranean diet by nature. One thing I struggle with is nuts and seeds as snacks. I find they make me dizzy and nauseated. Any idea why/ any advice?
Stop snacking. Many different modern health gurus are proving...eating only twice a day or all food in a 4 to 6 hour eating window does wonders for better health. Snacking is almost universally now known to be a major factor in unwanted weight gain, tooth decay, and various GI issues.
Sounds like you might have an allergy.

Hang in there, friend. 🤗
Hi! I hear you. This video probably isn't the right timing for anyone with an active eating disorder. When I use the term diet I'm referring to the medical usage of a "system of eating" not a system of restriction. The 10th principle of intuitive eating is Honor your Health with Gentle Nutrition, but the previous 9 principles are much more relevant and valuable for someone with an eating disorder.
Reject the Diet Mentality
Honor Your Hunger
Make Peace with Food
Challenge the Food Police
Discover the Satisfaction Factor
Feel Your Fullness
Cope with Your Emotions with Kindness
Respect Your Body
Movement - Feel the Difference
Honor Your Health with Gentle Nutrition
Carnivore girl here! No more depression or anxiety after being on meds for 20 years. Off all medication, it’s healing my body.
The simple answer is Space Cakes.

So glad you put this information out there. I've noticed the effects that food choices have on my mood and energy levels. If you're sceptical, I encourage you to swap out one meal a day with some body and mind healthy options, keep some notes on how you feel a few hours later with energy levels and thoughts. Use that information to see if you want to incorporate more alternative food options to other meals and snacks. Little changes can create new habits.
I think of our bodies like a machine running on programming, and if we're aware, we get to dictate and input the new programming. Just remember - garage in = garbage out
Keeping a journal of foods eaten and how you feel is a wonderful idea. It was the beginning of my becoming free of what I was told would be most likely a lifetime case of severe IBS and other GI issues. All gone now, and I fixed what 5 doctors could not...with a different way of eating. Sugar and wheat were my worst offenders.
@Robnord1 That's Amazing! I love hearing stories like this. We've got one go on this rock; don't just take someone else's word on something. Experiment for yourself, keep a journal and see what works for you.
We're all built uniquely
My biggest problem is how much i strongly dislike fish. I know we absorb nutrients in food better than supplements, is it still better than nothing at all? Everything else i seem to have on lock. Reintroducing whole wheat carbs after being on Keto will be tough too.
Having fermented foods and caring about my gut health has been great for bloating, I've noticed too. Its just not about losing weight anymore, its about mitigating inflammation and being comfortable - in my body and also mind. Hoping to amp up my nutrition! Then i think i will add more strenuous exercise (I have a very active profession) to my repertoire too.
🤘
Remove gluten, and caffeine and see what happens.

as a vegan, i feel validated by this 😀
Ketogenic diet is without doubt most powerful think for your brain
Did you even watch her video? She provides evidence that it's the Med Diet.
Wrong :D
Keto for the win! See Lauren Kennedy Smith about her ongoing treatment of schizoaffective disorder with keto.
Great for some, terrible for others
There's some new research coming out that for people with schizophrenia, bipolar, and other severe forms of mental illness, medical keto can be amazing for them, it's coming up in a new video I'm making
I work in the drug/alcohol field and I really enjoy your videos. However all your arm movements are not only distracting, they greatly increase anxiety. And, I imagine you need to speak so fast to get in all the information in the time you allow, but again, it's overwhelming when you're trying to absorb all the information.
Please, please slow it down and stop your arms from swinging all over. I wonder if others have a problem with the overload?
Maybe just listen at .75 speed and don't watch. It's not her job to present in a way that makes you not anxious.
Thank you for the suggestions, in such an unkind way.
Idk, I’ve seen a lot of evidence to suggest carnivore diets improve mental health much more than “33%” and vegan diets have claimed to help mental health too. Instead of doing a video on a specific diet, you should be doing a video on how to BE CONSISTENT with dietary changes. I already know eating healthier will help; what I - and many others - have a hard time with is actually following through and sticking to changes. Seriously. People aren’t stupid, we know what we need to be eating, but how do we override the biological urge to consume all the processed foods?
