Curcumin (Turmeric)– A Natural Way To Fight Depression

Curcumin is an organic chemical found in the root vegetable turmeric. Turmeric in the ginger family. It looks similar to ginger but it has a vibrant yellow-orange color. Turmeric is used as a spice to flavor curry and gives it the yellow color. There have been several studies showing that curcumin produces a modest improvement in depression. In this video I show you how curcumin helps depression and depression mixed with anxiety.

Turmeric, ginger, onions, and garlic so far have been like miracle ingredients

Turmeric, Vit D (I take 5000 iu daily/Mon thru Fri), and B complex combo work wonders with a side of exercise every day :))

Ever since i started eating healthier and taking vitamins my depression has decreased. I can't wait to add turmeric to my list to buy🍒🍇God Bless you Beautiful Queen 💎

Yayy to these kind of videos!
And it's spot on!
Over the years I've applied everything you said about treating depression (high doses of omega 3s, probiotics, Magnesium supplementation, and a few more) and I definitely noticed an improvement in most symptoms.
Antidepressants scare the hell out of me after having bad experiences with them, so these suggestions are so nice to learn about.
Thanks!

As well as the incredible content I'm in awe of your eloquence and precise language, making complicated topics understandable without dumbing down. Many thanks!

[jrthomas]

Youve been hitting every single thing I've been trying this year and now turmeric? Love it thanks Tracey!

[YevetteGooden]

The example of multiple streams of income versus layering treatments really clarified things for me. Thank you!

[cardboardkitty]

You are helping me more than my actual therapist, and I’m so grateful! You and Emma McAdam of Therapy in a Nutshell have saved me from my anxiety and panic disorder, which have been chronic and debilitating, especially over the last couple of years. You’ve taught me so much about right-thinking that I’m also using both of you in my son’s homeschool curriculum to help him develop emotional intelligence, and he is quite happy to learn from you. He’s on the spectrum, and you are so easy for him to understand, so clear and thorough. He’s learning so much, as am I! Again, so grateful! Thank you!

That last point was the best for me, layering solutions. I appreciate the point that if you try one thing and it doesn't work, you presume all things don't work. Good explanation for why it is best to take a layered approach.

I was disappointed to find out that wasn’t a Cheeto.

Seriously though. Thank you for what you do. This channel has helped me a lot!

having had anxiety depression for many years im now feeling much calmer taking tumeric black pepper capsules

[brianjonker]

Dr Tracey is the only content creator I need to take notes from. So much information and all without the fluff of other channels.

[ashleyzeleznik]

I do mindfulness, eat Mediterranean diet, exercise (cardio) and am taking Curowhite, high EPA fish oil and other supplements and I feel a lot better. It’s true that you have to take a multifaceted approach to feel better! It’s easy to get discouraged, but when I look at how far I’ve come my progress is undeniable.

[happyswim]

Thank you. These videos are Excellent. They explain symptoms and give solutions. Even with a therapist, we still need to do our part. And, these videos are very helpful.

[Vashtibucket]

Thank you for making this series engaging and easy to grasp. Turmeric is hard to come by here but I’m going to see if I can find some at my local Asian markets. I have had some setbacks with exercise and intermittent fasting by getting a little too aggressive with my goals but I realized when I went at my own pace and didn’t compare my progress to others I did much better and I felt great. I also watched your video on magnesium and I started buying bags of pumpkin seeds and eating them every day.

[Jay_kay_bee]

Your videos make the most sense to me. So well planned and thought out. I can’t thank you enough! I’m so happy you continue to educate this way.

[ShadowWolf]

The way you explain things is so eloquent and makes sense. Love your videos. Thank you from a future PsyD student!

[hipnicity]

A well-balanced life seems to be the key.

[Brokiemon]

You've made videos on supplements I'm already taking, supporting my research when I try to put my friends on to it
I take both Tumeric Curcumin and magnesium and to be honest I feel amazing even though my life has become very rough
