Treatment Resistant Depression? Try an Elimination Diet!
There are many underlying causes for depression. One of them is unknown food sensitivities.
An elimination diet is a great way rule out food-based triggers! In short, you remove gluten, dairy, soy, corn, sugar, artificial dyes and sweeteners. Then you can add back one thing at a time to see which is the trigger. (But why add these back into your diet once you see their negative impact?!)
DID YOU KNOW?
🌽 corn is linked to depression & suicide, and it decreases your absorption of minerals & nutrients.
🍕gluten decreases blood flow to the brain and is linked to GI inflammation, seizures, and schizophrenia.
🥛most dairy is raised with antibiotics & hormones. 65% of the population is lactose intolerant making dairy an inflammatory food.
☠️ MSG is usually hidden under the term “natural flavors”. It’s linked to decreased frontal lobe activity leading to anger, rage, and temper problems.
👶🏻73% of kids diagnosed with ADHD no longer met criteria for the diagnosis once on an elimination diet!
