This describes all of my in-laws and my husband. It's a shame that all admit they have depression, migraines, poor sleep and cancers in the family - but think they are fine because everyone around them has the same. They also believe they eat healthy...it's hard to be the only one that sees just how much all our lives are affected by something that could easily be fixed. The biggest lesson I need to accept is that I can't change anyone but myself.

I can confirm this, a few years ago I changed my diet and my depression disappeared without any other changes in my life.

I'm still dealing with leaky gut(maybe after the couf) and notice on good days my HRV is better and my motivation is higher, so that's also affected by neuro-inflammation or other immune response.

One day I will be able to fix it.

Thank you for recommending animal products including organs. This is so important and people are not told this. You're clearly not a sellout. I respect that.

[AidanWilliams-zewk]

Great job talking about the links between leaky gut/inflammation and depression. Not enough 'health' channels and corporations mention it despite how important inflammation is when concerning depression, brain fog and heart disease. Good job man

You're killin it, Elliott! Love seeing you teaching so many people, seems like you're built for it 🌟❤️‍🔥🙏

[Jcserve-pruc]

That is Why I frequently take NSAIDS for The Depression!

I can unfortunately attest that this is very very true.

I think the coffee recommendation should be reconsidered. In the morning cortisol is higher naturally. In the afternoon, cortisol is low. Yo have coffee in the mornings bring cortisol high, because it is being consumed on top of what the body has already put out in order to change the state from sleep to active movement. Sipping coffee in the afternoon will keep the body going and still have plenty of time to slow down before sleepy-pie time. Keeping cortisol down is also very important to health.

5:13 I threw out my fish & krill oil supplements after watching Jay Feldman's episodes 23, 105, 106, and 107. Episode 23 discusses the membrane pacemaker theory of aging. 105 explains that w-3 is an indicator of health. With the car analogy your fuel gauge is an indicator of fuel in the gas tank. Moving the needle doesn't change how much gas is in the tank. 106 discusses a study showing w-3 is worse than corn oil. 107 goes over more studies showing possible decrease in lifespan due to w-3. I believe evolution put w-3 in cell membranes to decrease our lifespan, after watching these videos.

My conclusion on depression and anxiety as an herbalist.
1: Kapha excess
2: Vatta Excess.

Kapha Excess:
Cold overload in the body, specially in the brain, alkaline mucus in the brain can cause CNS Depression.
Example:
Winter Blues.

Food:
Avoid Cold-Alkalines.
Take Bile Stimulating foods.
(Mentioned in the end)

Vatta Excess: (Acid or Dryness overload.)

Disruption in the Carbonic acid dissociation can cause Co² toxicity in the body.
Causing problems in signalling pathways of neurotransmitters.
Like serotonin.
(Due to poor food choices and routine)

If it is Acid related depression, treatment would be different than the one caused by dryness.

Dryness in the sense, RAAS system gets stimulated to the level, where it starts depleting essential mucus.
By suppressing the enzyme mucin kinase..
It can cause impaired neurotransmitter signalling.
Mascular system comes under pressure and there's often less blood flow to the head .


*Food for dryness related depression.*

Cold-Alkaline food.
Will act as a stimulus for mucin kinase.
Milk, funnel, condomon Green one.
Cream, butter,
(Ask an overweight woman her diet. 😃-)
Cold alkalines cause weight gain and insulin resistance.
(Not all, some actually skyrocket metabolism.
Like arjuna bark.
Or those work as diuretic positively affect the metabolism.)

Note:
If you've depression or anxiety and your gut is suffering constantly from bad fermentation like SIBO or IBS.
These foods won't work.


Food for acidic type. (Bile Stimulating foods)
Hot alkalines.
Like, lavender, chamomile, Senna leaves, turmeric, Ginger, Organic chicken meat.
Mutton, Peppermint, rosemary tea,
Ginkgo biloba.

These foods will Stimulate liver and the body's acid base balance system would start working normally again...

I’d say go carnivore. I have less days with depression after I started on the carnivore diet. I also tend to overcome my depressive mood much faster now than I did when I was mostly eating vegetables and grains.

My generation born in the 90's are a lot more depressed compared to my parents generation. We eat the same food, share the same environment.
Difference is we have a higher dosage and way more V's conpared to parents generation.

My sister was born the late 90's, her and her friends are significantly more depressed then my friends and I.
My sister had even more ingredients in her dosage than we did in the early 90's.

Please check Morley Robbin’s work on copper. Sounds paradigm shifting!

Thanks for all the great work you do.

You are a blessing
