\"customizing-therapeutic-diet\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We can all agree how the food we eat has such an impact on how we feel and that “food is medicine.”<\/p>\n

We know we all have specific needs, unique biochemistry and very different genes so that is there NO \u201cone-size-fits-all diet. We need to eat according to our own unique biochemistry and this is where BioIndividual Nutrition<\/strong> comes in to the picture.<\/p>\n

Customizing your diet and nutrition strategy is essential to an integrative approach.<\/p>\n

Julie has spent the past 14 years researching and applying specialized diets and is now teaching this BioIndividual Nutrition<\/strong> approach to advanced clinicians.<\/p>\n

I know Julie personally, have read her book, have heard her present at many conferences (and even supported her at a few!) and have done her training. I can assure you that her knowledge in this area takes things to the next level! She is an expert on special diets, teaching about oxalates, salicylates, amines, glutamates, FODMAPs, gluten-free, GFCF (gluten-free-casein-free), GAPS and much more!\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sure you remember her from our prior interviews. Here are a few reminders:<\/p>\n

She shared this during season 1 of the Anxiety Summit: BioIndividual Nutrition and Special Diets<\/a><\/p>\n

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\u2019re the ones that are telling us that our world is too toxic, there\u2019s too many stressors, it\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And this during season 2 of the Anxiety Summit: Fermented foods and probiotics for anxiety and depression<\/a><\/p>\n

There was a study done by a researcher named Tillisch and published in 2013 in Gastroenterology. We know a lot about how the brain sends signals to the gut, but she explained that in the study they learned that the gut also sends signals to the brain. The researchers found that with yogurt, they found positive effects on the brain, including sensory processing and those areas associated with emotion and mood.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And earlier this year I interviewed Julie on: Customizing a Low FODMAPS Diet for a Client with Anxiety and\/or Depression<\/a> and we covered<\/p>\n
