Food: Can it Make You Happy?

Food: Can it Make You Happy? If you’re struggling with physical ailments, your doctor might ask you to look at your diet. Unfortunately, this rarely happens when it comes to mental health. Which is odd, given the fact that many scientists and medical professionals (as you may have guessed, myself included) actually refer to your gut as the “second brain.” So in this episode of “A Closer Look With Dr. Gundry”, I will be showing you how to take care of mood via your gut. Because after all, health is not just about avoiding aches and pains, it’s about your mental health as well.

Bonus: Ever wondered why you crave chocolate when you’re in a bad mood? There might be a reason for that as well. So if you’re looking for yet another reason to eat chocolate, make sure to watch this video all the way through!

Hello Dr Gundry, I am Gary J Jones I am 50 years old and I have early onset dementia, what has helped me is large flat mushrooms 2" inch diameter one a day with seasoning (base tomato sauce, crushed garlic, turmeric powder, chives, parsley and black pepper) to protect against dementia . I also on an empty stomach Extra Virgin Olive oil, to help cognitive ability and memory. lions mane mushroom extract capsules, for BDNF production in the brain. today is the first day without memory problems. If this goes on I will have reversed my early onset dementia in a matter of weeks all because of your advice. so I cannot thank you enough Dr Grundy, you are the consummate professional everyone should be listening to.

[captchaos]

@drstevengundry Excellent video! Can you PLEASE post a list link on your website or FB page where I can find a Restorative medicine doctor in my area of the US? I can’t afford to travel to CA! I want to find a doctor that does the same type of blood panels that your practice does in the New England area. Please post a list of all the MDs here that do this type of medicine/practice so I can start going to one locally. Thank you!

Dr. Gundry, I struggle with Yeast Overgrowth in my Gut and I am so confused as what to eat. I am 72 yrs. young (of which i don't know how it is possible but I have 51 yr old twin daughters and am told we look like sisters). and for the past 15 years I have tried just about everything to get rid of this relentless "room and boarder". I've been on Diflucan, Nystatin, Mycelex Troches. I take a high potency probiotics, and just about all the essential Supplements you mention. I eat no grains, no sugar, no dairy (was diagnosed Lactose Intolerant), no legumes, no potatoes or tomatoes; and figure I'm Italian. What I DO eat organic grass-fed beef and organic chicken, wild caught Haddock and Shrimp and MANY vegetables, except tuber veggies because i am concerned about the carbs in them. I have made some changes to my diet by listening to you especially regarding Lectins, which i realized I have been eating alot of! And I have incorporated some of the good recipes on YouTube into my diet with the omittance of Lectins. My main source of oil is 99% Extra Virgin Olive Oil, along with and Coconut Oil, Avocado Oil and Sesame Oil and Grass Fed Butter from Ireland. When But I'm so confused because if I eat something that that is not in that category of my limited choices, I have some issues with itching under my armpits, my scalp, and "private places". Any suggestions would be extremely appreciated.

I'd love to know how to repair stomach irritation, constant bloating, pain and indigestion - not colon but stomach. Also, how to reverse gastric patch.

Dr. GUNDRY, I've been watching and learning a lot from your videos. One topic I've not heard you talk about if we don't have a thyroid. How to get my metabolism going, sleep, lose weight, stop falling hair and dry skin etc all the side effects from a complete thyroidectomy . Thank you very much.

[jaymichaluk]

Just wondering what you think of long term fasting, (48hrs and longer) and using electrolytes. Magnesium chloride, potassium chloride, Himalayan salts, Sodium bicarbonate, lemon.
