The Anxiety Summit: BioIndividual Nutrition and Special Diets

June 22, 2014 By Trudy Scott 14 Comments

julie matthews 1

Julie Matthews, Certified Nutrition Consultant and author of award winning book, Nourishing Hope for Autism, is interviewed by host of the Anxiety Summit, Trudy Scott, Food Mood Expert and Nutritionist, author of The Antianxiety Food Solution.

BioIndividual Nutrition for Anxiety: How special diets and avoiding certain foods can support individuals with anxiety

  • how the body and brain are connected
  • opiates, salicylates, amines, glutamates and oxalates
  • how special diets can help: GFCF, GAPS, low oxalate diet, FODMAPs
  • how to support biochemical pathways such as sulfation and methylation

Here are some great gems from my interview with Julie:

the brain is not this isolated island all by itself: it is connected to the body and all the biochemistry in the body affects what’s going on in the brain

different people might have similar biochemical pathways that are impaired, but they may manifest that differently – for some, with anxiety, some might have ADHD, some might have autism

gut flora is a really important factor in mood

I highly recommend Julie’s book Nourishing Hope for Autism: Nutrition and Diet Guide for Healing Our Children

And Julie shared this about her book and her work

My book is called Nourishing Hope for Autism, but a lot of people that have other conditions get my book, particularly because I call kids with autism the canaries in the coalmine. They’re the ones that are telling us that our world is too toxic, there’s too many stressors, it’s too deficient in nutrients, and we need to change our ways by adding more nutrition, more absorbable forms of supplements, getting supplements in general, eating good foods that are nutrient dense. These principles are principles that apply, in my experience, to almost all healing. So we learn a lot from the kids with autism on how it might apply to anxiety and other conditions.

We discussed the overlaps we see in autism and mood disorders: digestive issues, neurotransmitter deficiencies, gluten issues, low blood sugar, pyroluria etc.

Here is an article on Dr MacFabe’s work on gut bacteria: Spotlight on the Gut Bacteria-Brain Connection in Autism

    Believe my body makes its own, but greatly helped by slowly lowering the amount of foods I eat with oxalates. Heard that B6 can be helpful but for me it caused more pain in head and B1 helped quite a bit.
    What effects sulfation? or if the oxalates get into the cells or not?
    we had repaired a roof leak that had aspergillus as one of the spores in abundance and wonder if it could have grown in me.
    recall a recipe for spinach using lemon juice saying it made the minerals more available, wonder if thats really true.

    Also found after many months and feeling some better. was getting histamine reactions. Sudden sneezing (rarely sneezed or had hayfever after stopped wheat), or sudden runny nose after certain foods and even after vite B1 supps. SO reduced somewhat histamine foods… Still trying to figure next step(s) in this to be healthier process.

    I really related to her comment that sugar has an opiate effect on some folks. I think that’s me. In this case, what type of enzymes, specifically, would be helpful?

      The best is this: just don’t eat sugar and use the amino acids if you can’t quit.

    Thank you for providing this excellent information about nutrition as it relates to autism: I love the author’s refreshing look at and concern for autistic children, calling them the “canaries in the coal mine.”

    Such interesting information! I’ve always thought that food sensitivities are a form of energetic sensitivity. They go hand in hand.

    I look forward to sharing this as I know too many children who are affected by this at different levels of the spectrum

    Yes the brain is not at work in an isolated environment.
    This information will be passed on by me to people I know
    who would immediately understand a new approach to their situation.

    Julie is so knowledgeable about this. It’s really great that you were able to have her on the summit to share this information.

    Thanks for sharing this resource, Trudy. I am glad that more and more information is being shared on this topic. Personally, I have long suspected that ADHD, Autism, Allergies, Asthma, Digestive issues, autoimmune disorders all stem from the same source: lack of nutrients and too many toxic Chemicals. Another great person to follow is Tom Malterre. I’ve been learning a lot from him. He’s great!
