Do you ever feel like you´re losing enthusiasm for life and struggling to enjoy the things that would usually make you happy? Initial signs of depression and anxiety can manifest through minor issues like losing your nerves about your in-laws or getting angry for no reason at all. But what if there is a way to fight depression with the food you eat? What might surprise you: Your current diet might be the source of your anxiety and depression. Your mood is directly impacted by what you eat. With the proper evidence-based nutrition, it is possible to take control of anxiety, boost your mood and live a life full of joy. In this episode of Health Theory, Tom Bilyeu is joined by Nutritional Psychiatrist, Men’s Health advisor, and author Drew Ramsey to discuss such matters and more as they explore the current state of depression. They also explain why nutrition is the easiest way of influencing depression positively and uncover a psychological lever to reduce your anxiety. Furthermore they disclose the way your anxiety is influenced by the foods you eat, which foods you should avoid and finally why you shouldn´t lose hope if you currently struggle with mental illness.

QUOTES:

“It´s an epidemic. Everything is going up. Depression is up…Recently showing male depression is up 60-70% over the last 12 months.” [1:05]

“They found that the risk of depression during quarantine, if your nutrition is bad, went up over 1000%.“ [1:55]

“There are foods that people need to cut out of their diet. Diets need to change drastically…” [7:15]

“All good diets are lacking ultra-processed foods. The reason I think they´re evil because of the way they increase inflammation.” [12:12]

“We did a research study where we said: When we look at all the literature, what are the top nutrients that are most important for brain health and helping depression? Twelve nutrients stand out. So we asked ourselves: What foods have the most of these 12 nutrients? Aside from plants, 3 of the top 5 foods were seafood.” [26:00]

“I have treated people with every type of mental illness, and it´s actually what gives me hope. It´s what gives me strength and resilience. I have seen people who have it so hard with what happens in their minds, and to see them just do amazing things: Start companies, have families, whatever it is, makes me very hopeful.“ [42:57]

    *Want to drop 5 pounds, 20 pounds or even 60 pounds if not more all without starving yourself **WeightLose.Fitness** or counting calories? This is entirely possible. I’d been doubtful at first, but when I began The Venus Factor, I was impressed at the results. The system is so easy to grasp and put to work in your life. I am not going to reveal to you how much I lost, but I wanted to share the information for anyone else planning to slim down.*

    WFPB no oil diet is curing my depression. I now track my micronutrients and feel 100%!

  6. Vita Solano on December 25, 2021 at 4:09 pm

    the part about nature vs city life… i think well Tom, as a billionaire – is not connected to nature.. nor connected to basic stuff.. as Tom is beyond simplicity…. hard to believe anyone does not seek the farmers market… but billionaires are very different..



  7. Benjamin K.E. on December 25, 2021 at 4:09 pm

    Thanks Tom for waking me up out of my decade-long debilitating depression. I have switched to a paleo/keto hybrid per the advice of your health theory guests, and it genuinely transformed my entire physiology.

    Enjoying this channel!



  9. Tom Bone on December 25, 2021 at 4:15 pm

    I heard about the Forwago and decided to give it a try. I am more than grateful for the plans which helped me to improve my physical and mental health. Definitely, I would recommend everybody to try it!



  10. Margott Fon on December 25, 2021 at 4:15 pm

    With true anxiety you don’t get ‘happies’ and you don’t thrive on it. It’s not excited , but anxietyed …



  11. Jennifer Cottrell on December 25, 2021 at 4:16 pm

    Same feeling about shushing children! Can’t be good for them. I changed toward this desire to hear them yell and scream as well. Also to explore on their own. Not possible in big cities! Even though love the city.



  12. Dan Williams on December 25, 2021 at 4:16 pm

    No salt is a dumb idea. Good luck with the muscle cramping and dehydration if you’re active.



  13. Pete well on December 25, 2021 at 4:17 pm

    So increase respiration outside and increase nano particle load due to drones spraying toxins from above just saying your blood brain barrier is fucked just saying , good day

    Maybe it’s just me but the doctor reminds me of a young Jeff Goldbloom



  16. The Glowing Brownie on December 25, 2021 at 4:18 pm

    I think channels like this one are amazing. The fact that we are not paying for this content is unbelievable. I hope it stays that way. not everyone has the power to be able to access these brilliant minds. This doctor though…he kind of annoyed me…once he used the words "predatory" and "alpha" reminded me of a liberal!!



  17. Romelia Darosa on December 25, 2021 at 4:18 pm

    Weedborn’s CBD products are amazing!

    Dr. Ramsey, you mentioned nutrient density per calorie, and the ANDI scale, without crediting Dr. Joel Fuhrman?



  20. Holly Sullivan on December 25, 2021 at 4:23 pm

    My depression came back after receiving the 2× covid vaccination. I haven’t felt depressed for 10yrs.



  30. Amos Emenike on December 25, 2021 at 4:40 pm

    Thanks Dr IGUDIA On YouTube, your herbs really worked in curing me from my type 2 Diabetes after so many months of battling with this illness



  31. David Smith on December 25, 2021 at 4:43 pm

    Too much bullshit to listen to.



  32. Nora Mcshane on December 25, 2021 at 4:43 pm

    What about cortisol



  33. Sheila Smith on December 25, 2021 at 4:44 pm

    So, what does it mean if a person must have many, many horses in a farm situation where they take care of all their needs? A lifetime of owning horses and not being able to live without them? BTW, their manure makes the ultimate compost for my vegetable garden, too!🤠💕🙏👍



  34. downbntout on December 25, 2021 at 4:44 pm

    One small problem with the seafood advocacy. The fish get O3s from all the way down the food chain, the algae. Lab-grown algae doesn’t have the metals and bacteria, parasites or pollution. Bypass the seafood, get to the source. Not fish oil but DHA itself.



  35. 5th Dimension Explained on December 25, 2021 at 4:47 pm

    The human body was not designed to eat meat!
    When a normal people experience a Real Spiritual Awakening Then the next level of Spiritual Consciousness evolution step is to Consciously become aware to stop eating any kind of meat, if you achieve this hard test then that means that you are in a higher state of Spiritual Consciousness evolution, that’s why only a very small number of humans that are on the right spiritual evolution process can understand and surpass this test!



  36. Hans K on December 25, 2021 at 4:47 pm

    Observe the way people with any mental illness take care of themselves. Observe how/what they eat. Their social circle, their living environment, drug/alcohol use. You can put it together rather quickly after a while.



  37. Sexy Shantyy on December 25, 2021 at 4:47 pm

    I was facing depression then i was referred to *Dr. Jasper The Great Wizard* he was able to get me out of that state



  38. Nora Mcshane on December 25, 2021 at 4:50 pm

    What about people with learning disabilities



  39. Marlene Russell.MacDonald on December 25, 2021 at 4:50 pm

    No offense but I have this to say. Than buddy where are ya. Cuz ain’t no doctor listens to what we say. Man I even tried CAMH. And they can’t help me either. So where do ya go city hall. That’s a shame. That ppl beg for help and we don’t get it



  40. Tyrone Quaker on December 25, 2021 at 4:51 pm

    I suffer from nerve pain, this causes me depression. What herbal remedies are there for this ?



  41. Space Marine on December 25, 2021 at 4:55 pm

    Food definitely affects your mood. Don’t believe me? Then try eating junk food from Monday to Sunday for a month.



  42. cango on December 25, 2021 at 4:56 pm

    nobody is by default an anxious person, anxiety comes from a damaged digestive system (worsen by any kind of external stress). In my case, I suffered anxiety at 33 years old for the first time in my life. Meds didn’t do anything at all. Finally, after 1 year of trying to figure out the root cause, it came from NAFD due to my SAD diet. With a very low carb diet I am healing all!



  43. Oded Wolff on December 25, 2021 at 4:58 pm

    i am not sure what his message is. traditional diet can solve mental health problems? any traditional diet? the variation among those is huge. plus there is little actual science quoted here to actually back up this assertion



  44. downbntout on December 25, 2021 at 5:00 pm

    Tom, you deleted my comment about the seafood, which makes me sad



  45. Astrid Jaye on December 25, 2021 at 5:01 pm

    Fermented foods aren’t good for everyone for example if you have sibo they maybe feed it or histamine/mast cell issues. I know it’s probably good for more people than not though.



  46. Thordur Hognason on December 25, 2021 at 5:01 pm

    Why should olive oils be good for us ,I mean it’s not a food? I have tremendous respect for Alan Goldhammer



  47. Rick Eckler on December 25, 2021 at 5:02 pm

    Join the impact theory DISCORD? Discourse, maybe?

  49. Julie Carr on December 25, 2021 at 5:02 pm

    GREAT interview! I am a cancer patient in remission. Was diagnosed a year ago. After going through chemo and radiation I suffered terrible depression. Consequently, doc put me on depression medication. It sucked! I started researching food as healing. I’ve been off medication for 5 months, completely cut out ALL sugar, eat 10 cups of vegetables a day, fish 3 times a week (do my best), no coffee after 1 pm, probiotics, etc. I’ve really noticed a difference. I love how this interview doesn’t prescribe a “one size fits all” approach. Love these two! Thank you for this fabulous information 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
