126. Depression, ADHD, and Anxiety: The Role of Nutrition in Mental Health with Dr. Julia Rucklidge
I had the pleasure of sitting down with Dr. Julia Rucklidge, author of The Better Brain: Overcome Anxiety, Combat Depression, and Reduce ADHD and Stress with Nutrition.
We talk about her book and why nutrients may matter more than medication for combating mental health.
- About Dr. Julia Rucklidge
- Julia's new book
- How does nutrition affect our mental health?
- Why do you think we struggle with mental health more now than ever?
- Is the rise because more are being diagnosed or that people are struggling with more mental health imbalances?
- Other factors: exercise, good sleep, stress management. How do they compare to foods?
- What are the biggest culprits that are toxic in our nutrition that are causing illness?
- Why do antidepressants not work after a while? Why do they not work for some people?
- We also don’t talk about nutritional deficiencies with medication. Why? Or the other symptoms that come with it.
- Can most people can get off antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications?
- Where you can find Julia
