\"\"<\/a>I\u2019m heading to the 32nd Annual Conference of Anxiety Disorders Association of America <\/a>. It\u2019s on from April 12 – 15, 2012 at the Crystal Gateway Marriott, Arlington, Virginia.<\/p>\n

The theme is: Integrating Mind-Body Connections: Advancing Science, Informing Practice for Anxiety and Related Disorders <\/strong>and you can find conference details here<\/p>\n

I’m thrilled that I’ve been accepted to do a poster presentation on food\/nutrients and anxiety – Food and Mood: Case Study of Woman with Anxiety.<\/strong> It will cover real whole food, including grass-fed red meat; neurotransmitters and amino acids GABA and 5-HTP; the mineral zinc; the omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids; vitamin D; the mood impacts of gluten and more.\u00a0 All supporting research will be provided.<\/p>\n

The amazing thing is that this woman, a client of mine, was able to completely eliminate her anxiety and panic attacks<\/strong>, PMS and carb cravings using dietary and lifestyle changes only<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I look forward to sharing this information and my book The Antianxiety Food Solution<\/a><\/em>\u00a0 with attendees.<\/p>\n

One of the newest food mood studies I\u2019ll be sharing is one by Davison and Kaplan, titled Nutrient Intakes Are Correlated With Overall Psychiatric Functioning in Adults With Mood Disorders. <\/strong>It was recently published in the Canadian Journal of Psychiatry.<\/em><\/p>\n

They looked at Canadian adults with mood disorders. Intake of carbs, fiber, total fat, linoleic acid, riboflavin, niacin, folate, vitamin B6, B12, pantothenic acid, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, iron, magnesium and zinc were measured and higher levels of nutrients equated to better mental health<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Dr Kaplan, PhD was quoted as saying: “Doctors should consider counseling their patients to eat unprocessed, natural, healthy foods<\/strong> and refer them to a nutrition professional<\/strong> if specialized dietary consultation is needed.”<\/p>\n

Here are some other interesting poster sessions I plan to visit:<\/p>\n
