The Anxiety Summit – Eggs, broths, sprouts, almond flour, questions and what to do next

November 16, 2014 By Trudy Scott 31 Comments

Trudy Scott Anxiety

The host of the Anxiety Summit, Trudy Scott, Food Mood Expert and Nutritionist, author of The Antianxiety Food Solution talks about:

Eggs, broths, sprouts, almond flour, questions and what to do next

  • Are eggs a superfood? and choline for a better mood and less anxiety
  • More superfoods: broths, sprouts and curcumin
  • Reconsidering almond flour for baking
  • Questions answered (a select few from the blog and facebook page)
  • What you can get out of the summit, resources and where to go next

We’ve gathered all the speaker/topic blogs into one blog called Anxiety Summit Season 2 speakers and topics so you can find them easily. These have snippets from our interviews, links to research, and links to speaker books and gifts.  You can also use these blogs to comment, share your experiences and ask questions. 

Here is the New York Times article U.S.D.A. Approves Modified Potato

The potato’s DNA has been altered so that less of a chemical called acrylamide, which is suspected of causing cancer in people, is produced when the potato is fried.

A Huffpo blog announces Doritos-Flavored Mountain Dew Is Real

Here is New York City’s first take-out window devoted to sippable broths

I recently spoke on Dr. Josh Axe’s Natural Cures summit and here is a great broth recipe on his site

I love this picture in the LA urban farming article

The dinner menu lists “our home-grown items”: broccolini, baby carrots, blueberries, figs, snap peas and heirloom tomatoes.

Here is a link to Julia Rucklidge’s TEDX talk: The surprisingly dramatic role of nutrition in mental health. I love how she opens with:

what I’m going to share today may sound as radical as hand-washing sounded to a mid-19th century doctor and yet it is equally scientific. It is the simple idea that optimizing nutrition is a safe and viable way to avoid, treat or lessen mental illness. Nutrition matters. Poor nutrition is a significant and modifiable risk factor for the development of mental illness

Eggs are one of the most nutritious foods on earth! Here is some of the egg research:

“Orally administered whole egg demonstrates antidepressant-like effects in the forced swimming test on rats”

Skipping breakfast can increase depression, anxiety and stress levels and eggs can be part of a healthy breakfast. “A cross-sectional investigation of depressive, anxiety, and stress symptoms and health-behavior participation in Australian university students”

Eggs are an excellent source of choline. Research shows that plasma choline levels are related to anxiety levels

The lowest choline quintile was significantly associated with high anxiety levels.

Results from an October 2014 study in Behavioral Brain Research suggest that

high choline intake during early development can prevent or dramatically reduce deficits in social behavior and anxiety in an autistic mouse model

An article on Webmd, Egg-Rich Diet Not Harmful in Type 2 Diabetes suggest that

eating two eggs per day, 6 days a week can be a safe part of a healthy diet for people with type 2 (that’s 12 eggs a week – yeah!)

I blogged about eggs and that you can eat the yolk this last month. You can read about TMAO concerns in the comments of the above blog.

Grow your own broccoli sprouts to get sulforaphane! Here is the study called Sulforaphane treatment of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), published Oct 2014

improvement in social interaction, abnormal behavior, and verbal communication

… oxidative stress, depressed glutathione synthesis, reduced mitochondrial function and oxidative phosphorylation, increased lipid peroxidation, and neuroinflammmation

Here is the curcumin depression study

In a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, 56 individuals with major depressive disorder were treated with curcumin (500 mg twice daily) or placebo for 8 weeks.

From weeks 4 to 8, curcumin was significantly more effective than placebo in improving several mood-related symptoms

Here is my healthy travel foods blog that includes pemmican, THE energy bar of the 21st century. You can purchase pemmican from US Wellness Meats.

Here is my carob blog with the yummy Carob Cinnamon Delight al la Trudy

I mentioned a number of studies related to PTSD symptoms. Here they are:

  • Lower EPA (one of the omega-3 fatty acids) levels are associated with the severity of clinical symptoms in PTSD.
  • One factor could be low levels of vitamin D
  • Another factor in PTSD could be cortisol and DHEA
  • And a new study found a connection between PTSD and low HDL and high triglycerides

Here are the Amino Acid Precautions. They will also be added to my blog Targeted individual amino acids for eliminating anxiety: practical applications.

If you are wanting to find out more about pyroluria, do check out my session from season 1 “How zinc and vitamin B6 prevent pyroluria and social anxiety.   And here is the pyroluria questionnaire from my book.

If you missed my opening interview here are a few lines from “Top of the World”

A new beginning, a brand new day
All of my fears are gone away
I feel so calm, so free, so whole
Right now, I’m feeling on top of the world

Grab your copy of the song here if you don’t yet have it!

“Food and nutrients provide a very powerful approach that can dramatically reduce and very often completely eliminate anxiety- and can totally prevent it in the first place too.”

You can have zero anxiety! Really! You deserve to feel on top of the world.

    Due to illness, I have not been able to listen every day, so I just purchased the program. Therefore I don’t know if you covered my question, so here it is. Does anxiety negatively affect blood pressure? I don’t want to go on the meds my MD prescribed for me on Friday. If so, where can I get more info?

      Hi Karin
      I’m sorry to hear you’ve been ill – glad you have the program – it’s great!

      Yes, there is a connection between anxiety and high blood pressure. In this study http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24672713 “Having an anxiety disorder was associated with a 4-fold increase in the risk of developing hypertension”

      We talked briefly about anxiety and blood pressure in Sharon Heller’s talk. But if you apply what your learn from the speakers, this may help both the anxiety and high blood pressure. I would suggest talking to your doctor before deciding against the meds as high blood pressure is not to be ignored.

      Here is my favorite book on the topic: What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Hypertension: The Revolutionary Nutrition and Lifestyle Program to Help Fight High Blood Pressure by Mark Houston

    You talked about eggs and how great they are. I agree…I think they are a superfood for sure. I did hear that if you have leaky gut to take out eggs for a small amount of time. Is this true? Should you take out eggs for a little while while the gut heals?
    You talked about choline as well. What other foods are great for choline?
    Also, one of the speakers talked about if you have candida that you should kill the candida before doing probiotics. I have heard to take them and then not to take them. Which is best? Should someone be taking probiotics as part of a program to get rid of candida or wait until the candida is at normal levels and then add the probiotics?

      Hi Jennifer
      Eggs can be an issue for some people (in fact it is a common food sensitivity) but it’s not the rule to remove them for everyone even if someone does have leaky gut.

      Other than chicken eggs, beef, liver and fish are a great source of choline (here is the full listhttp://nutritiondata.self.com/foods-000144000000000000000-1w.html)

      There are many ways to approach dealing with candida and sometimes adding probiotics up front may be a good approach. This is what I like to do – to help crowd out the bad guys. Dr Mikell Parsons prefers to add them later.

    Trudy, thank you for great information, warm and welcoming hosting. I love eggs too but my test showed some intolerance to egg yolk. Many people have it and even severe allergy. I eat whites one day and whole eggs another day. However, even this can cause problem. Sardines are high in oxalate – can`t eat it too and I avoid any fish due to high mercury toxicity. I use your recommendations for oxalate reduction. Also, I use curcumin or turmeric for cooking as it is not recommended to take it in caps by Ayurveda. It should be cooked in oil or mixed with other spices depending on type of physiology or imbalances.

      Hi Lisa
      You’re welcome! Yes, that is a big issue with eggs – food intolerance. Rotation as you’re doing can help but some people need to remove them completely in order to heal the gut. They may be tolerated once it does heal.

      Sardines are considered medium oxalate but if they cause issues must be avoided or limited. Interestingly I have oxalate issues but do fine with sardines.

    Thanks Trudy for all the information, is wonderful listen you.

    We eat all the crucifers vegetables, especially broccoli , but I blended ,them, my kids won’t eat other way, so each diner we have a cream soup.
    I wonder now because we don’t chew them do we get the sulforaphane as well?
    Thanks , Carmen

      November 30, 2014 at 5:31 pm

      Hi Carmen
      We love stealth nutrition and blending should be fine. Glucoraphanin is metabolized into sulforaphane when it reacts with the plant enzyme myrosinase. This plant enzyme is released when the plant is damaged by cutting during food preparation or blending or by thorough chewing while eating.

      Keep in mind that raw or lightly steamed broccoli will release higher levels than if it’s over-cooked. You may want to grow some broccoli sprouts and include these in the soup.

    Carob is quite high in oxalates. Recall call my grandfather calling it St Johns bread (lived in Germany), wonder if used as a flour there.

    oxalates in meats- consider if might need more B1 (can check what foods contain higher amount

    termeric is high in oxalates dont know about cucrmin

    balance is helpful in the foods and supps we consume.

      Hi Lynn
      Yes balance is important and so is biochemical individuality. Thanks for sharing – yes many spices are high in oxalates but some people seem to do fine on small amounts. The same seems true with carob which is considered low in oxalates. I have an oxalate issue and do fine with both.

      I’m not clear on your comment about oxalates in meat and B1? oxalates are not an issue in meats.

    Hi Trudy;
    On Nov. 17, I posted a rather lengthy background on my personal physiology, and 2 questions, addressed to you, and/or Dr. Dean, regarding the use of Magnesium. It seems apparent that the link reconnecting me with that web page, and your interview with Dr. Carolyn Dean, is no longer available, which leaves me wondering if my questions will be addressed! Are my posted comments/questions lost in cyberspace, or only unavailable temporarily? Please & Thank You, Ted Everett

    Thank you for sharing the anxiety summit information with us so freely – what an opportunity for the public!

    A few qsts:
    – is decaffeinated custom roasted coffee OK to drink daily or twice daily? The type I get uses the SWISS WATER PROCESS which removes caffeine without the use of chemicals.
    – is it OK to use glass storage containers with plastic lids (haven’t found any with glass lids)?
    – I find that my omelettes stick to our stainless steel frying pan even with the use of coconut oil. What type of pan (or method) is OK to use for these so they don’t stick?

      Hi Stefanie
      You’re welcome on the anxiety summit!

      Is decaffeinated custom roasted coffee OK to drink daily or twice daily?
      I’d suggest making sure it’s organic (as coffee beans are highly sprayed) and the small amount of caffeine doesn’t affect you (anxiety or sleep)

      Is it OK to use glass storage containers with plastic lids (haven’t found any with glass lids)
      It’s hard to find them without plastic lids – just make sure the lids don’t touch the food

      I find that my omelettes stick to our stainless steel frying pan even with the use of coconut oil. What type of pan (or method) is OK to use for these so they don’t stick?
      I have a stainless steel pan with a copper base (on the outside) and this seems to work well for me

    What do you feel about the ECO Zwilling VistaClad CERAFORCE Ultra Non-Stick ceramic coating frying pans that are PTFE and PFOA free?

    Also, do you recommend the use of essential oils and should they only be ORGANIC?

    Can these be used on children who are 5 and 8 years old too?

      Hi Stefanie
      I’m not familiar with this frying pan – can you please share a link – maybe I’ll do a blog review?

      I would only use organic essential oils and yes certain ones can be a great way to help kids. I would suggest checking contraindications and consulting with an expert as this is not an area of my expertise. This site suggests only 3: tea tree, lavender and chamomile. http://www.essentialoils.co.za/children.htm. This one lists 10 http://naturemoms.com/blog/2012/06/01/10-best-essential-oils-to-use-for-kids/

      Hi Teresa
      You don’t mention if you eat eggs or dairy but these would be great options. Whey is a great source of protein and you could do a shake. Just be aware that they are more common in terms of folks having food sensitivities to them.

      Other options are legumes of course – like a nice big lentil soup or something similar.

      Hope this helps and happy new year to you!
