Foods for Anxiety | Latest Research | Number One Nutrient You Need to Know

What are the best foods for anxiety? In this video I talk about a recent study that examined 21 individual studies spanning 1500 participants to determine if a change in gut bacteria affected anxiety symptoms. I talk about that research and what it means for you, including the one major nutrient to focus on for your diet plan for anxiety. Anxiety relief is possible through diet, and if you need a little motivation, stick around for this week's Bring the Heat segment at the end.

K-Nation Question of the Day: Do you get enough whole plants in your diet? If you don’t, let me know what’s your biggest challenge, and I’ll see if I can give you some pointers.

Grateful... that sounds similar to my diet 🙏🏻💛💯

I love this, because all we ever hear is, "You shouldn't eat this, you shouldn't eat that..." while the new studies show that what we DON'T eat has a greater effect on overall health and longevity than any of those supposedly "bad" foods we consume do. As for me and plants, I get my recommended dose every day!

Gut health is so critical! Thanks for sharing!

Yes! I've been getting in the habit of cutting up jicama to include with every meal lately. It's a super fresh and crispy addition as a side dish to anything!

I can confirm that a change to a whole foods, plant based diet has made significant improvement in my life. I tried the probiotic path with my traditional diet and it did not help.

I had no idea of the impact the gut has with the nervous system. Thank you for the video.

OMG. Man this world needs people like you. Can you please specify whole plant foods?since I live in Pakistan, I eat traditional foods. I desperately need help and I'd do anything you tell me to do
