How to Overcome Anxiety Through Nutrition—A Primer on Improving Mental Health

Hello everyone, and happy new year! After taking some time off to move my offices, I am officially back. 

I’m thrilled to support you with more great content this year. I’d love to hear from you if you have a specific topic you’d like me to focus on. You can email us at info@eatfor.life with your thoughts.

In my clinic, I treat several conditions, including but not limited to autoimmune diseases, OCD, ADHD, autism, and depression. However, the one that stands out as the biggest struggle for many people is anxiety. Therefore, for the next several episodes, I am going to delve deep into the underlying causes and drug-free treatment options to help you overcome this often debilitating condition.

In this episode, I discuss:

• The bi-directional connection between the gut and brain, and how an underdeveloped connection can cause anxiety
• The role stress hormones play in promoting the growth of pathogenic gut bacteria
• The benefits of GABA supplementation during stressful conditions
• The need to address the root lifestyle causes of dysbiosis in the gut microbiome rather than just treating the symptoms
• The importance of diet in managing anxiety
• How excessive exercise can increase anxiety
