I've been irritable and moody all my life and suffered from depression and anxiety but did not want to go on meds. During the start of the first lockdown, I upped my cooking skills and gave my diet a makeover. Then, I slowly added exercise. I've never felt better in mind, body, and soul. It really is just small lifestyle choices that build the way toward a happier and healthy life.

Everyone was anxious at some point. All humans have so kind of insecurities and we are afraid not to live up to other's expections of us, especially people at the top. And depression.. is a lack of power. Because that's what's life about, giving power and getting power. But if you keep giving power and don't get it back, obviously you end up depressed. My recommendation is if you are at the bottom of the hierarchy then don't give people above you the power if they don't give it back, try to climb the ladder or find a job that allows you to be in a position above others and you end up getting power and start respecting yourself again and do the things that are good for you and that's the end of depression... but if you lose the power again, you will fall deep. because the more you have, the more you can lose.

[@yantithehappymonk2024]

@@oksana13908 hello there, I did consult a nutritionist to assist me with my dietary approach. She said it all depends on people and how they feel after eating. Some do well on keto, fasting and others prefer plant based. For me personally it’s intermittent fasting and a balanced diet with lots of vegetables and fruit. I ensure good hydration and include protein from quality seafood, eggs, chicken and occasionally beef. I consume probiotic rich food like sauerkraut, kimchi and yoghurt. I drink kombucha after dinner and it’s helped my digestion. I don’t do well with extremes like keto, vegan or high carb-low fat, because it’s too restrictive. To be at my best I need variety of carbs, fat and some animal products in my diet. But everyone’s different and you should find what works for you. You will need to try a variety of approaches and note how you feel. I kept a food journal and wrote down what I ate, and how I felt- for example I noted too much dairy caused me bloating and catarrh, white bread makes me sleepy. It will be a journey where you’ll learn how to best nourish your body and mind. It’s hard work but it will be worth it. Hope that helps. All the best.

As a clinical microbiologist, this video made me SO HAPPY! Thank you for sharing this information and giving gut bacteria the credit they deserve--you cannot be healthy unless your microbiome is healthy! Remember that your gut bacteria also produce about 95% of your body's serotonin (source: APA). Diet and lifestyle are SO important to keeping your gut flora happy. Don't just feed yourself--feed your microbiome too :)

[@vvortex2931]

Yeah, but this serotonin is working in the guts, not in the brain though. There are no mechanisms that are able to transport serotonin to the brain, and the relationship is much more complicated. Ofc you would feel better if you start eating better, replenishing deficits. It's not magic and has little to do with "gut microbiome" because science does not even know what the "healthy microbiome" is. Additionally, the individual's microbiota is thought to be in the state of equilibrium, therefore only prolonged changes (months or even years) in lifestyle may somehow influence its composition. Bottom line, if you're a scientist indeed, you shouldn't sensationalise the information.

Research supplements like L-glutamine, slippery elm, aloe vera, Colostrum (only if you know you dont have intolerance to dairy).

OMG I just knew that had something to do with it. I suffer from major depressive episodes- only 1 manic episode. I knew the exercise was key and was honing in on the sleep, but I’ve been trying to fix everything the wrong ways. OMG Dr Tracey, I’ve been suffering needlessly all these years???? And none of my drs would give me a newer mood balancer like vraylar. I feel so robbed. Most of my life is gone- all that time spent in the bed, wasted. I can’t even believe it. I feel so cheated. Thank you so much for your videos Dr Tracey. I get defensive and don’t want to watch them, but now I’m hooked because I want to get well. I had about 6 months of wellness in 2010, when I walked my dog every day, ate right, and slept right. I thought it was the abilify - no wonder it wouldn’t work again! I’m not going to fool around anymore about exercising and getting my proper sleep hygiene - I’ve been working on the sleep for about two years now - still have revenge bedtime procrastination, but I’ll kick it. At least I can fall asleep if I get into the bed. Thank you Dr. Tracey and I thank God for you and your videos. I’m going to start all over again and this time, I’m going to make it. I can’t smile about it yet, but I know I will, because I’m going to get my life back. 6 good months out of 59 years is not enough. Thank you 🙏 again ❤

Keto and intermittent fasting are the top two “medications“ that help me to remain stable. I have bipolar 2 and complex PTSD.

[@cptpapa]

@@jlockwood65 I try to fast at least 16 hrs with 8 hr eating window or shorter, with longer fasting times periodically. I do have coffee with some whole cream though. I try to stay under 20 grams of carbs however I do not count the carbs in leafy greens like salad, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower and avocados. I do not eat starchy or “colored” vegetables. I only add flavor and/or cook with butter, pork/beef fat, olive oil or avocado oil. I eat a lot of beef, pork, fish and cheese. If you are disappointed no need to count calories. I am not I can still over eat on good food as well, so I count carbs and calories but not at a major deficit, so I don’t get frustrated or hungry. I do allow myself cheat days like holidays and when someone offers to buy my lunch. I do not go out to eat very often since it can be hard to follow keto but it is possible. I also try to maintain a schedule when I eat and when I fast as well as when I go to bed, how long I sleep and when I wake up. Anything else?

I cut out certain fast food places, I do home cooked meals a lot. I eat what's more authentic too.
