On my journey to healing my relationship with food, health and my body, I’ve tried just about every diet, way of eating and “approach” to health. I’ve found that sometimes the food matters as much as we think it does, and sometimes it does not. At the end of the day, what is really important is how you FEEL. So don’t eat more of these or less of these foods because they are on the list-instead, listen to the best expert of you-YOU! If you struggle with anxiety or depression, and you eat a lot of these foods-it might be worth taking a look at. Or it might be worth adding in some of the ones rich in antioxidant goodness. At the end of the day, don’t set any hard and fast “rules.” You do YOU! Sending you much love.
No one "struggles with anxiety or depression" but millions of people have mental health conditions like Panic Disorder, Bipolar Disorder and Major Depressive Disorder which require medical treatment. Some foods can ameliorate mild symptoms but mostly mental health conditions are treated with medicine and evidence based psychotherapies.
Fleur Bandito my doctor and therapist would beg to differ. I’m not sure what your goal here is, but invalidating people who suffer from anxiety and depression isn’t the way to go about it.
@@FleurPillager Struggling with anxiety and depression is real. I was diagnosed with only anxiety and depression by my mental health professional. Yes I take medicine for it but medicine can only do so much. After watching this video I will be asking my doctor if changeling my diet would help with my anxiety and depression along with my medication I take. Medicine will only subsidies the symptoms. My anxiety and depression will pop up in my day to day life with taken medication only. So if eating more foods that she explain in the video will help while im taking my medication then you better believe ill be changing my diet.
@@jennifermyers2519 Anxiety Disorders and Mood Disorders are treated with psychotherapy and medication. Little evidence that food alone is an effective treatment except for mild (sub clinical) symptoms. Diet and exercise are important for everyone's general health but doesn't have anything to do with treating Bipolar Disorder, for example.
@@FleurPillager I didn't say food will treat my anxiety and depression alone. I did however say I will be asking my doctor if eating these foods with my medication will help. I know how important to have my medication the doctor gives me. I also know that food is not a treatment either. But if adding these foods and taking out the foods along with taken my meds daily will help more than just taking my meds then its worth the try.
Taking these 5 supplements helped reduce my depression considerably: 1) Vitamin B9 AKA Folate 2) Vitamin B12 3) Vitamin D 4) Magnesium 5) Zinc I wish everyone luck in their fight against depression
I haven’t had a panic attack since my change in diet. Blueberry banana and oak shake everyday. Chicken or some sort of animal protein for dinner and no added sugars has done wonders
@@FleurPillager baby please Jesus fixed my anxiety I still had an anxiety on all the medicine but when I took it to Jesus and got delivered I haven't had it since anxiety is a sprit of the darkness the bible says I haven't given you a mind of fear but of peace live and a sound mind God is been the best medicine for my mind I am healed in the name of Jesus for months now robert clancey on you tube a prayer for anxiety and fear get delivered anxiety fear anxious is the works of the devil I was spiritually dead now I'm filled with the holy sprit I am healed thank you Jesus

Aim to keep blood sugar level stable = stable mood.

Im 48 and apart from some perimenopausal problems, I haven't had any issues so far, thank goodness. I have 4 kids and I guess they're handful to keep my depression away. 😂
Yes!! I love this! I go to therapy and take medications, but I know switching to a diet with no processed and refined foods (I give myself wiggle room of course), and eating a diet of mostly whole, natural foods helped me immensely. I didn’t know about neurotransmitters being in the stomach, but that makes a lot of sense because I feel that eating healthy foods actually assists my medications.
Totally! Yes! There are neurotransmitters in the stomach, and actually the heart, too. It seems our bodies and minds are far more connected than we once thought. Thanks for sharing your experience!! So glad the diet changes helped.
My anxiety is so bad rn All i do all day is focus on not having a crisis I had to cut 100% coffee or anything with considerate amounts of caffeine... coz anything makes me really anxious and I have a panick attack.
Good timing! I had an anxiety attack last night after binging on much of the foods on that bad list, hMMMM. Still healing my relationship with food after major weight loss. One day at a time.
Anxiety means lack of knowledge about your inner beauty god. Food helps lot but mind food is your faith. Faith is big pillow 🙏 it will change life .read good or watch good videos about your inner beauty it will change your behavior and new positive path
Psilocybin containing mushrooms saved my life. The drastically reduced my benzodiazepine withdrawal allowing me to quite illicit pill addiction after three years of heavy daily use before it would had became medically dangerous to quit. It has also helped me survive depression.
The Trips I've been having really helped me a lot,I finally feel in control of my emotions and my future and things that used to be mundane to me now seem incredible and full of nuance on top of that I'm way less driven by my ego and I have alot more empathy as well
@Lillian Victoria I was having this constant, unbearable anxiety because of university stress. Not until I came across *dr.jeromespores* a very intelligent mycologist. He saved my life honestly
@@dilara4130 I feel the same way too. I put too much on my plate and it definitely affects my stress and anxiety levels. I am also glad to be a part of this community.
This reminded me of the four humors, on eof them being melancholy which I thought they associated with the liver but it's with the spleen, which is still a digestive organ especially for blood filter; so gut feeling makes sense! 😲
Thank You for this video. Im currently trying to get my depression and anxiety in order. ( I was recently diagnosed with Depression and Anxiety a few months ago.) I never considered that the foods I eat could be bad for me. You opened my eyes to something I should as my Doctor about and see if I change my diet maybe that can help me some. But giving up my 4 cups a coffee with 1tbsp of sugar and mocha creamer is going to be hard. Lol I just hope my Coke Zero is not a bad thing to drink lol. Again Thank You for this video. My mental health is very important to me and im definitely going to look into changing my diet and see what my doctor says.
Totally! I have struggled with diagnosed depression and anxiety as well, and my diet really made a difference. Everyone needs something different, but looking at our diet is not going to hurt. I am glad you'll speak with your doctor. Be well!!
Heavy cream is a great subsitutue, and using cinnamon instead of sugar could also help as well as sugar subsitutes. sometimes the cream is enough for me to not even need sugar because it's satisfying.
Thank you so much for this video , I recently found out alcohol contains ethanol found in gasoline and I’ll never look at drinks the same 🥴. Also diary contains too much mucus, I highly recommend transitioning to nut based. 👏🏾❤️
I continue to reason: We feel peaceful while walking through a garden full of flowers. Bees love flowers and produce honey that is very healing for us. If watching the flowers gives us peace, the tea of the flowers can give us peace. Flowers can be excellent resources for the treatment of depression. Bees' source of honey should be our source. Just like the creatures that drink water from the same fountain. Bees need flowers. Life cannot exist without bees. Flowers are the life source of bees. Flowers can be our source of life. Just as honey is a source of life for our health.
I have a problem with anxiety especially before test or any stressful situations. I want more of those videos I wish you were my psychology professor in College. Love the video. Thanks for the videos
Alyssia, This was so well presented. I totally agree with everything you've shared here. Diet plays a huge role in our overall well being. Thanks so much!
I have researched and found out that shrooms are very helpful , it has really helps to reduce anxiety and depression . I would love to try magic mushrooms but I can't easily get some , Is there any realiable source I can purchase one
They say you are what you eat and this video is very informative and helpful. The upbeat way it is presented also helps. Thank you, the advice is much appreciated. 🙂
Thank you! I've been taking antidepressants for a while but they make me feel so nauseous! I've been looking for ways to help supplement the drugs and this video was the answer
Do you take them with food or on their own? I've come to realise that if I don't have something when I take my meds (mind you I take meds 3 times a day) I tend to become nauseous, due to just slightly too much acid. I can't take anti acids either, but just adding something to eat or drink that isn't just water, tea or coffee helps a lot. Its what works for me, it might not work for you, but I wish you all the luck trying to figure out what works for you
I had this same problem but I was switched to a different kind of medication that was similar and the nausea went away. That may be the same for you, I’m not sure, but I would look into it if food does not help.
You gave a lot of really great, well-researched advice. I struggle so much with anxiety but now I’m going to definitely make some changes to my diet. So thanks 🙂
I experience lots of anxiety too, it’s so debilitating at times 😥 Keep learning and making adaptations and you’re sure to find something that’s beneficial along the way! I’m also just starting on this journey - any improvement, however small, will change my life for the better! Sending you love and encouragement on your journey to mental wellbeing 💜💜💜
@@roxanne9217 a lot better. Went to the er and they said it was pericarditis. Hen followed up with primary care, he said it could be with my stomach and anxiety.
hello mam, very interesting video. my freind was also suffering from depression and so many suicidal attacks. he visited many hospitals but didnt get relief then one day he got relief when he switched to planet ayurveda. they gave him a depression care pack. now he is fine.
I can't eat my ASD (which cause me to have more stress) away but I can learn to understand what my body is telling. So I will try to listen more and find better ways to answers it. Which is or can be tricky because my sensory integration problems.. basically I am a grown up with the sensors of a toddler.. so I first have to learn how to read or even FEEL them and then understand what I need to do.. and what to do if not..
Yesss Indeed food has a huge impact when it comes to anxiety I used to have a lot of sugar and now that I have reduced the amount that I used to have I can totally see the difference
So idk if any vegetarians will see this, but basically the omega-3s from non-meat sources (ALA) are less bioactive, meaning your body can’t really process it into the stuff it needs as easily. Animal-derived omega-3s (DHA and EPA) are more bioactive, but as a vegetarian I’m not going to consume them. Some brands now source DHA from engineered algae; they contain genes necessary to produce more animal-like omega-3s. Very expensive but worth it for me.
Diet has made a massive difference to mine. The biggest contributors being caffeine and sugar! I no long drink caffeinated beverages and no longer have severe panic attacks
It’s so obvious what food does for our body I had a whole panic disorder I wasn’t eating at all when I did it was junk my dad got me groceries and I noticed I had more mental capacity to try and make a way for myself
Personally, I drink a lot of coffee because I like the taste - but I still realize how much it makes me anxious. Chamomile tea was always the balance point for me. It completed eased my mind
Mind need positive thoughts it will comes from your knowledge get knowledge about your inner beauty god depression and anxiety will go away .faith is big pillow
I have watched this video several times and changed my diet. I have been eating Chobani yogurt as a snack, but I read the ingredients and it has cane sugar as one of the main ingredients. Will this yogurt continue to cause anxiety attacks?
I wouldn't directly say that sugar "causes" anxiety attacks, but that in general a high intake of sugar overall can impact our mind/body connection. Some sugar is fine, but I would focus on an overall intake throughout the day and week.
Thanks for the reply, but honestly my anxiety attacks have stopped, because of a video that I saw here on CZcams. The fear of death was overwhelming in my mind, so I was afraid all of the time, and that is what increased my anxiety.
I've had great improvement in my mood by taking oyster tablets. Eating oysters every day would be ideal but not practical for me so I supplement. I suffer from really bad pms moodswings and as soon as I take a couple oyster tablets, my dark mood goes away. I get the Pete Evans ones with mushroom in them as well.
I’m getting reddy to go back to school and I’m going to try and pack my lunch. The issue is I’m a simi pickie eater and was wondering if you could please try and do an episode for food for pickie eaters that don’t need to be microwaved? Your videos are so fun to watch and I’ve found a lot of really great recipes, thank you 😊
I’m trying to figure out what’s happening with me, I’ve been losing weight like no tomorrow I was 165 at my heaviest and now I’m only 128. My appetite is nonexistent anymore and I suffer from really bad anxiety :(
I often eat foods that makes lower percentage of me having anxiety and depression like yogurts, green leafy veggies, nuts and everything but still get irritated easily. So I think anxiety and depression is not the right assessment for me. Can someone advise me what's my condition?
I totally hear you on that. This time of year I notice I tend to get down... and I also notice a shift in my diet. I have tried to be mindful and see how they might be related!
Faith in God will help your mind get more knowledge about your inner beauty god change your behavior like your inner beauty .respect yourself and others. read good it will change your way of thinking then depression will go away
Coffee does make anxiety worse because caffeine makes your heart rate go up which can also cause a rise in blood pressure. I’m the biggest coffee drinker but I stopped cold turkey (not even decaf) about 3 weeks ago. It’s been hard but I feel like I’m thinking clearer and just feel better all over because I increased my water intake.
sooo.... I've been suscribed to your channel for what? 3 days? And I'd never imagine you would get me that fast. Yes, i've been fighting anxiety and depression (uncontrollable fear and anger when I was very little) my whole life. At almost 40 I think I have learnt to kind of deal with it most of the time. I know for sure I'm not gonna die or faint when anxiety hits hard and I found ways to get my mood better by solitude, readings (into stoicists and essentialists right now), classical music (late Baroque and Classical seem to suit the best with me). I knew about some foods you mentioned. Thank you for the others. I will definetely try them.
I'm so glad this resonated! Thanks for being here. I've spent the last few years really working to heal my relationship to food and health, and to support my mental health-which has included many struggles. A relaxed and realistic approach with food has been so helpful for me. I'm looking forward to sharing more of what I've learned and am so glad you're here. thank you!
@@MindOverMunch thank you for time to answer me. You know. I've been watching these last days your videos on meal prepping and bento boxes. I love them
any advice on migraines and epilepsy symptoms would be appreciated, I worry about getting a migraine and this in turn makes me very anxious, a vicious circle, help !
I wish I could get my spouse to get on some of this. He's too comfortable with his cycle of too much coffee, red bull, and more alcohol than what is moderate every week. Constantly complains about sleep issues, always being tired and does suffer from depression. Can't convince him to stop with it all 😔
I hear you. It is so hard with the people we love. I have found that “convincing” others does not seem to work. In my experience, I have to let them figure it out for themselves. My approach is to try to model by living in a way that feels true and healthy to me. Most of the time, when people see how it positively impacts me, they will become curious enough to try on their own. Actually, I do think them choosing to make the change on their own is necessary and very powerful. We can only change when it’s really meaningful to us :) I know it’s hard to watch those we love suffer, but we cannot be responsible for their health more than they can ❤️
Thank god I recently found a love for blueberries, I'm going snacking! (Also thank you for this video, I've had a bunch of anxiety and this video will definitely help me)
Faith is big pillow. Get knowledge about your inner beauty god. Food helps lot but for mind need knowledge about your soul then mind feel positive, fearless and people connect with love
I'm 12 but I wanna die since my results are coming today I didn't eat all day now I'm having high fever I'm craving for nothing it's like I can't even walk properly can you help me cure this depression my fingers are shaking writing this comment 😔
I got panic attack , stress , anxiety and lack of sleep on November. I took some times off and practiced deep breathing meditation for 20-30 breathe cycles, went for a long walk in a park, coloring pictures and practiced vagus nerve exercises from you tube . Brain Education TV is the one that I practiced every day and tried others too.
Hi Alesha! I love your videos and your energy and commitment is fantastic! Although sometimes it’s difficult for me to follow you since they deliver too much information too fast. Anyway! I applaud you for your great work! Thank you!
I totally hear you. This is a struggle, but one thing that I really took from doing research for this video is that most fruits and vegetables are really the best thing we can do for our mental health! And those don’t need to be cooked :)
Frozen veggies and fruits are great to buy too because they retain the nutrition and it’s hard to come by certain fruits and veggies in certain seasons and you can just quick heat up something in the microwave or make a smoothie or put some frozen berries in oatmeal or yogurt
My anxiety rises when I think about the fact that there is no sustainable way to fish (plus the sea is so polluted that the good nutrients might as well less than the bad stuff). I think the best omega 3 sources are flax, chia, walnuts and hulled hemp seeds. As per supplements, I'd go with algea oil (fish get their omega 3 from algea, so why not go directly to the source). They can be farmed in clean water, so it's much safer and sustainable.
YOU are special! If you BELIEVE, anything is possible. Go, follow your dreams, and believe in yourself! Make that decision to reach for your dreams, and NEVER look back!!
Eat Cannabis infused Butter, great for fasting with water, but i crave pastuerised only full cream milk, with PTSD and chronic pain, the milk gives me comfort, coffee tastes much nicer with my prefered milk, which I won’t encourage a rush on.
Anxiety and depression often go together. They sure do with me. Bonus tip: sunshine and the sunshine vitamin (D) help. Notice the huge glass double-door in Alyssia's kitchen?
Vicki G Solomon yeah I need to take more vitamin D in the winter. My depression gets so bad and winter lasts like 6 months out of the year where I live
I'm loving this better holistic approach to what we eat and going by simple guidelines to eat more whole foods, less processed, and more vegetables as opposed to calculating all the macronutrients and worrying about them! I find it much easier to stick with. :)
On my journey to healing my relationship with food, health and my body, I’ve tried just about every diet, way of eating and “approach” to health. I’ve found that sometimes the food matters as much as we think it does, and sometimes it does not. At the end of the day, what is really important is how you FEEL.

🙌🏼 Thank you for spreading awareness about the importance of gut health! This is what my YT channel and my career are dedicated to! 💛 Gut health affects your brain, your skin, mood, hormones, sleep, energy & so much more!
Hello
Gained some knowledge to overcome anxiety disorders.
Im 48 and apart from some perimenopausal problems, I haven't had any issues so far, thank goodness. I have 4 kids and I guess they're handful to keep my depression away. 😂
Yes!! I love this! I go to therapy and take medications, but I know switching to a diet with no processed and refined foods (I give myself wiggle room of course), and eating a diet of mostly whole, natural foods helped me immensely. I didn’t know about neurotransmitters being in the stomach, but that makes a lot of sense because I feel that eating healthy foods actually assists my medications.
Totally! Yes! There are neurotransmitters in the stomach, and actually the heart, too. It seems our bodies and minds are far more connected than we once thought. Thanks for sharing your experience!! So glad the diet changes helped.
Eating well is important for general health that's true. It's just not a treatment for any psychiatric disorder.
My anxiety is so bad rn
All i do all day is focus on not having a crisis
I had to cut 100% coffee or anything with considerate amounts of caffeine... coz anything makes me really anxious and I have a panick attack.
Good timing! I had an anxiety attack last night after binging on much of the foods on that bad list, hMMMM. Still healing my relationship with food after major weight loss. One day at a time.
One day at a time! YES!!
Anxiety means lack of knowledge about your inner beauty god. Food helps lot but mind food is your faith. Faith is big pillow 🙏 it will change life .read good or watch good videos about your inner beauty it will change your behavior and new positive path
Are u taking ADs??
I PRAY ABOUT MY DEPRESSION ❤
Psilocybin containing mushrooms saved my life. The drastically reduced my benzodiazepine withdrawal allowing me to quite illicit pill addiction after three years of heavy daily use before it would had became medically dangerous to quit. It has also helped me survive depression.
The Trips I've been having really helped me a lot,I finally feel in control of my emotions and my future and things that used to be mundane to me now seem incredible and full of nuance on top of that I'm way less driven by my ego and I have alot more empathy as well
@Lillian Victoria I was having this constant, unbearable anxiety because of university stress. Not until I came across *dr.jeromespores* a very intelligent mycologist. He saved my life honestly
On l G 👆🏻
@@dilara4130 I feel the same way too. I put too much on my plate and it definitely affects my stress and anxiety levels. I am also glad to be a part of this community.
@@ellaaysun6181 Does *dr.jeromespores* ship?
Man, I can’t thank you enough... I’m improving more...am so happy 😀
Great to hear! thank you!
So gut feeling is real?
Oh, I LIVE by my gut feeling. YES!
This reminded me of the four humors, on eof them being melancholy which I thought they associated with the liver but it's with the spleen, which is still a digestive organ especially for blood filter; so gut feeling makes sense! 😲
Hard to say you trust your gut feeling and that you have anxiety lmao
@@samzeilman3301 Haha Most definitely. I will never trust my gut.
Thank You for this video. Im currently trying to get my depression and anxiety in order. ( I was recently diagnosed with Depression and Anxiety a few months ago.) I never considered that the foods I eat could be bad for me. You opened my eyes to something I should as my Doctor about and see if I change my diet maybe that can help me some. But giving up my 4 cups a coffee with 1tbsp of sugar and mocha creamer is going to be hard. Lol I just hope my Coke Zero is not a bad thing to drink lol. Again Thank You for this video. My mental health is very important to me and im definitely going to look into changing my diet and see what my doctor says.
Totally! I have struggled with diagnosed depression and anxiety as well, and my diet really made a difference. Everyone needs something different, but looking at our diet is not going to hurt. I am glad you'll speak with your doctor. Be well!!
Heavy cream is a great subsitutue, and using cinnamon instead of sugar could also help as well as sugar subsitutes. sometimes the cream is enough for me to not even need sugar because it's satisfying.
Lol I have to reduce the speed of the video... I was feeling anxious with the normal pace lol
Thank you so much for this video , I recently found out alcohol contains ethanol found in gasoline and I’ll never look at drinks the same 🥴. Also diary contains too much mucus, I highly recommend transitioning to nut based. 👏🏾❤️
what are some good nut-based food/menu items?
I continue to reason:
We feel peaceful while walking through a garden full of flowers.
Bees love flowers and produce honey that is very healing for us.
If watching the flowers gives us peace, the tea of the flowers can give us peace.
Flowers can be excellent resources for the treatment of depression.
Bees' source of honey should be our source.
Just like the creatures that drink water from the same fountain.
Bees need flowers.
Life cannot exist without bees.
Flowers are the life source of bees.
Flowers can be our source of life.
Just as honey is a source of life for our health.
I have a problem with anxiety especially before test or any stressful situations. I want more of those videos I wish you were my psychology professor in College. Love the video. Thanks for the videos
Thanks, Sasha! I am going to share more about my own experience with mental health and the health of my body soon. Be well!
@@MindOverMunch thanks back to your family too
mind food is spiritual knowledge your inner beauty god. Faith is big pillow.
Alyssia, This was so well presented. I totally agree with everything you've shared here. Diet plays a huge role in our overall well being. Thanks so much!
Thank you, Cheryl! It's really impacted my own mental health, for sure!
I have researched and found out that shrooms are very helpful , it has really helps to reduce anxiety and depression . I would love to try magic mushrooms but I can't easily get some , Is there any realiable source I can purchase one
I have been having constant and unbearable anxiety because of university.
dr.hansen_ is life saver. Thank you

Tripping is not all that bad but one has to find a good mycologist to teach you the right things you need to
know
This whole thing is pretty new to me, can I try 3 grams?
I get so jittery with just a little bit of coffee. The body sure does tell you a lot.
It really does!
Omega-3s salmon, walnuts, animal proteins, probiotics, fruits and veggies, berries, green tea, chamomile tea,
They say you are what you eat and this video is very informative and helpful. The upbeat way it is presented also helps. Thank you, the advice is much appreciated.
🙂
Thank you! I've been taking antidepressants for a while but they make me feel so nauseous! I've been looking for ways to help supplement the drugs and this video was the answer
Thank you! I really think diet can have a huge impact-it has for me!
Do you take them with food or on their own? I've come to realise that if I don't have something when I take my meds (mind you I take meds 3 times a day) I tend to become nauseous, due to just slightly too much acid. I can't take anti acids either, but just adding something to eat or drink that isn't just water, tea or coffee helps a lot.
Its what works for me, it might not work for you, but I wish you all the luck trying to figure out what works for you
I had this same problem but I was switched to a different kind of medication that was similar and the nausea went away. That may be the same for you, I’m not sure, but I would look into it if food does not help.
You gave a lot of really great, well-researched advice. I struggle so much with anxiety but now I’m going to definitely make some changes to my diet. So thanks 🙂
thank you! :) much love to you
I got really bad anxiety thank you I'll give this a go thank you so much now I know what to do
Thank you for this video ❤ I haven’t slept a full night in too long to remember from rolling panic attacks, I didn’t realize diet mattered so much
Willing to try this. At the lowest point with my anxiety and depression so thank you for this information. It’s worth a try…
I experience lots of anxiety too, it’s so debilitating at times 😥 Keep learning and making adaptations and you’re sure to find something that’s beneficial along the way! I’m also just starting on this journey - any improvement, however small, will change my life for the better!
Sending you love and encouragement on your journey to mental wellbeing 💜💜💜
@@Borboleta1212 thank you so much for the kind words! Really needing them! Good luck on your journey as well❤️
Hello. Currently going through a bought with anxiety. Hope y’all are ok now.
@@brittanysherida How do you feel ?
@@roxanne9217 a lot better. Went to the er and they said it was pericarditis. Hen followed up with primary care, he said it could be with my stomach and anxiety.
hello mam, very interesting video. my freind was also suffering from depression and so many suicidal attacks. he visited many hospitals but didnt get relief then one day he got relief when he switched to planet ayurveda. they gave him a depression care pack. now he is fine.
Plz tell me that food
I can't eat my ASD (which cause me to have more stress) away but I can learn to understand what my body is telling. So I will try to listen more and find better ways to answers it. Which is or can be tricky because my sensory integration problems.. basically I am a grown up with the sensors of a toddler.. so I first have to learn how to read or even FEEL them and then understand what I need to do.. and what to do if not..
Yesss Indeed food has a huge impact when it comes to anxiety I used to have a lot of sugar and now that I have reduced the amount that I used to have I can totally see the difference
Listening to her gave me anxiety and depression combined 🥲
😭 much love to you.
This helped sm. I’m glad I’m not alone in this feeling 😅
So idk if any vegetarians will see this, but basically the omega-3s from non-meat sources (ALA) are less bioactive, meaning your body can’t really process it into the stuff it needs as easily. Animal-derived omega-3s (DHA and EPA) are more bioactive, but as a vegetarian I’m not going to consume them. Some brands now source DHA from engineered algae; they contain genes necessary to produce more animal-like omega-3s. Very expensive but worth it for me.
Thank you for sharing! I was just wondering how I can better serve my body more omega 3s without giving into the meat industry.
Diet has made a massive difference to mine. The biggest contributors being caffeine and sugar! I no long drink caffeinated beverages and no longer have severe panic attacks
It’s so obvious what food does for our body I had a whole panic disorder I wasn’t eating at all when I did it was junk my dad got me groceries and I noticed I had more mental capacity to try and make a way for myself
Nutrition is so important for depression - thanks for helping to share this message
Personally, I drink a lot of coffee because I like the taste - but I still realize how much it makes me anxious. Chamomile tea was always the balance point for me. It completed eased my mind
Been dealing with lack of diet and nausea. Barely can drink water without feeling like throwing up.
One small cup of coffee will send my anxiety through the roof! Even coffee ice cream and I loveeeee coffee ice cream 😩
oh I love coffee ice cream too!!!
Maybe coffee is giving me problems as well :/. Coffee icecream is the BEST tasting
Mind need positive thoughts it will comes from your knowledge get knowledge about your inner beauty god depression and anxiety will go away .faith is big pillow
Thank you so much for this Education
My pleasure! thank you :)
Your vids haven't come up in my feed for ages. Great you're back! Great topic too.
Oh no! That makes me sad-CZcams doesn’t seem to be notifying our subscribers which sucks :( Thanks for coming by! I appreciate it!
I have watched this video several times and changed my diet. I have been eating Chobani yogurt as a snack, but I read the ingredients and it has cane sugar as one of the main ingredients. Will this yogurt continue to cause anxiety attacks?
I wouldn't directly say that sugar "causes" anxiety attacks, but that in general a high intake of sugar overall can impact our mind/body connection. Some sugar is fine, but I would focus on an overall intake throughout the day and week.
Thanks for the reply, but honestly my anxiety attacks have stopped, because of a video that I saw here on CZcams. The fear of death was overwhelming in my mind, so I was afraid all of the time, and that is what increased my anxiety.
I've had great improvement in my mood by taking oyster tablets. Eating oysters every day would be ideal but not practical for me so I supplement. I suffer from really bad pms moodswings and as soon as I take a couple oyster tablets, my dark mood goes away. I get the Pete Evans ones with mushroom in them as well.
I’m getting reddy to go back to school and I’m going to try and pack my lunch. The issue is I’m a simi pickie eater and was wondering if you could please try and do an episode for food for pickie eaters that don’t need to be microwaved? Your videos are so fun to watch and I’ve found a lot of really great recipes, thank you 😊
I’m trying to figure out what’s happening with me, I’ve been losing weight like no tomorrow I was 165 at my heaviest and now I’m only 128. My appetite is nonexistent anymore and I suffer from really bad anxiety :(
Same here no appetite fatigue panic attacks stress
I often eat foods that makes lower percentage of me having anxiety and depression like yogurts, green leafy veggies, nuts and everything but still get irritated easily. So I think anxiety and depression is not the right assessment for me. Can someone advise me what's my condition?
Thanks, from SRIlanka.
Thank you! Trying to learn more foods to help with my seasonal depression
I totally hear you on that. This time of year I notice I tend to get down... and I also notice a shift in my diet. I have tried to be mindful and see how they might be related!
Same 🤙
Faith in God will help your mind get more knowledge about your inner beauty god change your behavior like your inner beauty .respect yourself and others. read good it will change your way of thinking then depression will go away
I feel like when I drink coffee I get more anxious
If this is the case, I would just avoid caffeine period
Coffee does make anxiety worse because caffeine makes your heart rate go up which can also cause a rise in blood pressure. I’m the biggest coffee drinker but I stopped cold turkey (not even decaf) about 3 weeks ago. It’s been hard but I feel like I’m thinking clearer and just feel better all over because I increased my water intake.
@ifeelsoly y in my case I like pedialyte as well so I drink mostly water and will have some pedialyte so it balances out
sooo.... I've been suscribed to your channel for what? 3 days? And I'd never imagine you would get me that fast. Yes, i've been fighting anxiety and depression (uncontrollable fear and anger when I was very little) my whole life. At almost 40 I think I have learnt to kind of deal with it most of the time. I know for sure I'm not gonna die or faint when anxiety hits hard and I found ways to get my mood better by solitude, readings (into stoicists and essentialists right now), classical music (late Baroque and Classical seem to suit the best with me). I knew about some foods you mentioned. Thank you for the others. I will definetely try them.
I'm so glad this resonated! Thanks for being here. I've spent the last few years really working to heal my relationship to food and health, and to support my mental health-which has included many struggles. A relaxed and realistic approach with food has been so helpful for me. I'm looking forward to sharing more of what I've learned and am so glad you're here. thank you!
@@MindOverMunch thank you for time to answer me. You know. I've been watching these last days your videos on meal prepping and bento boxes. I love them
I have anxiety really bad..
My friends ask me to have sleepovers or playdates and I'll just freak out entirely.
Idk how to cope with.
I realllllly need to improve my diet.... Thank you, Alyssia!!! Keep up the amazing work!!
You have forgot bananes they are very good againt anxiety and just great in every aspect !
Baby steps is absolutely the way to go 💯that’s how I got in a routine with exercise and diet.
any advice on migraines and epilepsy symptoms would be appreciated, I worry about getting a migraine and this in turn makes me very anxious, a vicious circle, help !
Do you have food recommendations for combating depression for vegetarians?
Beef jerky actually works for battling vegetarian depression.
I wish I could get my spouse to get on some of this. He's too comfortable with his cycle of too much coffee, red bull, and more alcohol than what is moderate every week. Constantly complains about sleep issues, always being tired and does suffer from depression. Can't convince him to stop with it all 😔
I hear you. It is so hard with the people we love. I have found that “convincing” others does not seem to work. In my experience, I have to let them figure it out for themselves. My approach is to try to model by living in a way that feels true and healthy to me. Most of the time, when people see how it positively impacts me, they will become curious enough to try on their own. Actually, I do think them choosing to make the change on their own is necessary and very powerful. We can only change when it’s really meaningful to us :) I know it’s hard to watch those we love suffer, but we cannot be responsible for their health more than they can ❤️
This is so informative and creative as well!
Anyone here is nodding all through out the whole video? 🙋🏼♀️🙋🏻♀️🙋🏽♀️❣️❣️❣️
Dang it man.. sugars are going to be the hardest step for me.. my sweet tooth is horrible (writing this as I’m eating sweets)
Thank god I recently found a love for blueberries, I'm going snacking!
(Also thank you for this video, I've had a bunch of anxiety and this video will definitely help me)
Faith is big pillow. Get knowledge about your inner beauty god. Food helps lot but for mind need knowledge about your soul then mind feel positive, fearless and people connect with love
Thank you for this info, makes a lot of sense.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you!
I'm 12 but I wanna die since my results are coming today I didn't eat all day now I'm having high fever I'm craving for nothing it's like I can't even walk properly can you help me cure this depression my fingers are shaking writing this comment 😔
All the best for your result 👍 God will make a way where there seems to be no way !
I do almost everything in your video and I still have a panic attacks anxiety.
Keep going, sometimes it takes time to see the results. Eventually you will get there!
I got panic attack , stress , anxiety and lack of sleep on November. I took some times off and practiced deep breathing meditation for 20-30 breathe cycles, went for a long walk in a park, coloring pictures and practiced vagus nerve exercises from you tube . Brain Education TV is the one that I practiced every day and tried others too.
Awesome video. Realism that is the key. Small steps big changes. Thanks bunches
Small steps!! Yes!
This was a great video, thank you!
Glad it was helpful! thank you!
Hey- great video! This is the best one I've seen on this topic- and I've seen quite a few! Thanks, and good job! :)
Hi Alesha! I love your videos and your energy and commitment is fantastic! Although sometimes it’s difficult for me to follow you since they deliver too much information too fast. Anyway! I applaud you for your great work! Thank you!
I have watched many videos on CZcams but this was my favorite cuz every thing was simply explained and clear (just wanted to Thank you)
Me as a poor college student who has no time to cook: lol what can I eat?
I totally hear you. This is a struggle, but one thing that I really took from doing research for this video is that most fruits and vegetables are really the best thing we can do for our mental health! And those don’t need to be cooked :)
Frozen veggies and fruits are great to buy too because they retain the nutrition and it’s hard to come by certain fruits and veggies in certain seasons and you can just quick heat up something in the microwave or make a smoothie or put some frozen berries in oatmeal or yogurt
Throw those frozen fruits in some overnight oats. You can take it on the go.
My anxiety rises when I think about the fact that there is no sustainable way to fish (plus the sea is so polluted that the good nutrients might as well less than the bad stuff). I think the best omega 3 sources are flax, chia, walnuts and hulled hemp seeds. As per supplements, I'd go with algea oil (fish get their omega 3 from algea, so why not go directly to the source). They can be farmed in clean water, so it's much safer and sustainable.
Hello I am Tamaki Amajiki and this video is what I want more of
Thank you so much Alyssa
You have no idea how much I needed this.
Thank you 😭
Thank you! :)
YOU are special! If you BELIEVE, anything is possible. Go, follow your dreams, and believe in yourself! Make that decision to reach for your dreams, and NEVER look back!!
@@samobrien3829 thank you so much :)
🙂👍🙏 the best content about nutrition I've ever seen 💜
Thank you!
Eat Cannabis infused Butter, great for fasting with water, but i crave pastuerised only full cream milk, with PTSD and chronic pain, the milk gives me comfort, coffee tastes much nicer with my prefered milk, which I won’t encourage a rush on.
Thank you. This is a great starting place for me.
You're so welcome! thank you!
I already know this, but it's nice to have you reminding me. Thanks, Alyssia!
Awesome :)
I have both- anxiety and depression. How lucky am I?? 😂🤦♀️
Oh man, I hear you, and have been there. So sorry you’re struggling with that, but I’m wishing you well!!
@@MindOverMunch thx girl!
Anxiety and depression often go together. They sure do with me. Bonus tip: sunshine and the sunshine vitamin (D) help. Notice the huge glass double-door in Alyssia's kitchen?
Vicki G Solomon yeah I need to take more vitamin D in the winter. My depression gets so bad and winter lasts like 6 months out of the year where I live
@MDshadowgirl _1 thx!!
Indonesia is here. Thanks for informations
Thank you for making this video 🙂 it was very helpful ☺️ it all makes sense.
Thank you 🤗
Thank you for the information. I'm learning how to control my anxiety.
I came here for the same thing
Certainly, emotions are a part of life and don't need to be "controlled," but we can learn to facilitate, understand, manage and regulate them
Omg u make the best vids look how famous u are! :)
Haha!
So so informative and actually helpful! Thank you so much!
Good video… precise and well presented with a lot of good information. 👌
I'm loving this better holistic approach to what we eat and going by simple guidelines to eat more whole foods, less processed, and more vegetables as opposed to calculating all the macronutrients and worrying about them! I find it much easier to stick with. :)
totally! This is what's really resonated with me as I've healed my own relationship with food and health.
Thank you so so so much! I needed this
You're so welcome! thanks for being here
One cup of coffee gives me delayed anxiety by a few hours, enough to ruin my whole day. If you have bad anxiety, be careful of caffeine
Eating healthy and exercise 🙏🏻
