The power of combining nutrients: how to combat poor mental health with diet & multinutrient therapy

JOIN OUR MAILING LIST: https://www.mindhealth360.com/join-mi... In this lively and informative interview, Professor Bonnie Kaplan and Professor Julia Rucklidge, co-authors of The Better Brain, discuss the vital role of #nutrition in mental health, the importance of diet and the right kind of supplementation (spoiler alert: the right type and combination of supplements is crucial). Prof. Bonnie Kaplan, winner of the Rogers Prize for Excellence in Complementary & Alternative Medicine, is a research psychologist at the University of Calgary’s Cumming School of Medicine. Prof. Julia Rucklidge, director of the Mental Health and Nutrition Research Lab, is a clinical psychologist at the University of Canterbury. Both are experts in the impact of nutrition on the #brain and mental health, and have led groundbreaking research supported by rigorous clinical trials. In this dynamic conversation, they explain why poor nutrition can negatively impact mental health, showing how nutrition affects brain metabolism (the brain is known as the hungriest organ, consuming up to 40% of our nutrients) and why the right combination of micronutrients is vital for good mental health. They reveal the surprising role that combined nutrients play in brain health, and how anxiety, depression, ADHD and stress can be simply and successfully overcome through what we eat and how we supplement. Learn about: Ways mental health symptoms can be successfully treated through diet and nutrients How multinutrients enable mental health sufferers to quit medications and experience far more successful treatment, without side-effects Why diet is the first place to start for restoring brain health Why processed foods negatively impact our mood and happiness by limiting the production of neurotransmitters (serotonin, dopamine, GABA), and why nutrient dense foods (whole foods, Mediterranean diets) are so vital to good brain health What the ‘Thank you Bite’ is: how to get your kids to eat healthy foods When to supplement and why: ways supplements can negate the impact of poor soils, leaky gut, and stress on our ability to absorb nutrients from the food we eat Why there is no silver bullet nutrient (vitamin D, or magnesium, or zinc) for brain health and why we need to combine them all (up to 30!) to function optimally Crucial advice on where to get the best multinutrient supplements; the formulas supported by over 50 independent peer-reviewed studies (Alberta, TrueHope), and why we should avoid supermarket products Why genetic tests (including MTHFR) are not very useful in improving mental health through targeted nutrient therapy (such as B or D vitamins) Why routine blood tests are overlooking our nutrient deficiencies The evidence-based research proving the success of multinutrients in mental health treatment Find out more at MindHealth360, your free guide to head to toe mental health: https://www.mindhealth360.com/
