Although the determinants of mental health are complex, the emerging and compelling evidence for nutrition as a crucial factor in the high prevalence and incidence of mental disorders suggests that diet is as important to psychiatry as it is to cardiology, endocrinology, and gastroenterology. Evidence is steadily growing for the relation between dietary quality (and potential nutritional deficiencies) and mental health, and for the select use of nutrient-based supplements to address deficiencies, or as monotherapies or augmentation therapies.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As you can tell I\u2019m a big fan of her research work and what an honor it was for me to interview her on one of the Anxiety Summits: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.everywomanover29.com\/blog\/anxiety-summit-nutrition-to-treat-anxiety-depression\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">What if\u2026 Nutrition could Treat Anxiety and Depression?<\/a>\u00a0She shared wise words then than seem very relevant to this censorship of her TEDx talk:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>How long is it going to take our society to pay attention to the research that shows that suboptimal nutrition is contributing to the epidemic of mental illness?

Autism, ADD, memory issues, dementia, all these things would start to get better<\/p>\n<p>And I began to realize that the body was driving a lot of this brain dysfunction, and that if you fix the body, a lot of the brain disorders would get better, that it wasn\u2019t a primarily a mental problem, but it was a physical problem.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.drbeurkens.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dr. Nicole Beurkens<\/a>, clinical psychologist and board-certified nutrition specialist, shares this about the talk:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>This is an extremely important evidence-based talk on a topic that is moving the field of mental health forward. As a clinical psychologist and board-certified nutrition specialist, I see daily the positive impact that nutrition can have on mental health for children and adults. More than medication and talk therapy is needed to reduce symptoms for many people with these challenges, and nutrition is an accessible research-based option. I often recommend this video to patients and their families.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Dr. Beurkens is also speaker on a prior <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theanxietysummit.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Anxiety Summit<\/a>. It\u2019s now in it\u2019s fourth season and I\u2019ve the wonderful opportunity to interview and share the nutritional psychiatry wisdom from over 70 practitioners, researchers, mental advocates and clients.<\/p>\n<h2>So much wonderful feedback from study participants<\/h2>\n<p>There is so much wonderful feedback in the comments below <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3dqXHHCc5lA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the youtube video<\/a>. I love this comment from a study participant from New Zealand, Deidre Fraser:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I\u2019m a pretty ordinary Kiwi, not particularly alternative. I don\u2019t have a big appetite for risk. But I have participated in one of Julia Rucklidge\u2019s studies and my family has benefited hugely from the introduction to, and continued use of micronutrients. Could we have achieved the same result using a pharmaceutical medicine? Some behaviours would have likely been addressed, but and it is a big BUT, one of the side effects (unexpected) would NOT have been improved happiness and self-worth, which resulted in better friendships &#8211; pretty basic things we all want from life!<\/p>\n<p>We also got increased focus and the noticeably different academic performance that we thought we wanted (We just hadn\u2019t realised that should be the secondary objective).<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t really understand the science behind it all, but the empirical research and published journals are there to support micronutrients as a valid option with verifiable research outcomes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And SP Hancock shares these compelling results:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I&#8217;m so grateful for this presentation. It compelled me to find a medical doctor who looks at symptoms of mental illness from a perspective other than traditional psychiatry. He helped me heal my gut so that I can get the micronutrients I need from my food choices. 2 years ago I was using the micronutrient supplement Dr. Rucklidge had diligently researched for more than a decade. Today, I no longer need supplementation because my gut can absorb micronutrients from my food. I have been off medications for three years now&#8211;completely stable using only food after having lived for nearly two decades with acute symptoms of refractory schizoaffective disorder bipolar type with catatonia. Thank you Dr. Rucklidge for your structured, independently funded studies. Your hard work and sound research methodology gave me the courage to find a doctor willing to look at my symptoms from a fresh perspective. Keep up the exceptional work!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I hope this has inspired you to keep seeking a solution if you are still on your healing journey or and even if you have found your solution.
