Introduction: Nutritional Deficiencies and Depression
Depression is a serious mental health condition that can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, environment, and lifestyle choices. However, many people don’t realize that nutrient deficiencies can also play a role in developing depression. In fact, studies have linked several vitamin and mineral deficiencies to an increased risk of depression. In this article, we will explore the relationship between nutrition and depression and suggest the best natural remedies for depression.
DNA Tests Explained
Your DNA can influence your body’s ability to absorb and use nutrients, which can lead to nutritional deficiencies. Understanding your genetic makeup can help you determine which nutrients you might be deficient in and which supplements or dietary changes could benefit you the most. DNA testing is becoming increasingly popular as more people seek to optimize their health and wellbeing.
Vitamin Deficiencies that Cause Depression
Studies have identified several vitamin deficiencies that can increase the risk of depression. These include:
1. Vitamin B12: This vitamin is essential for the functioning of the nervous system and the production of red blood cells. Low levels of B12 have been linked to depression, fatigue, and memory problems. The best forms of vitamin B12 are methylcobalamin and hydroxy B12, which are more easily absorbed by the body than other forms.
2. Folate (vitamin B9): Folate is necessary for the production of neurotransmitters in the brain, which play a critical role in regulating mood. Low levels of folate have been linked to depression, anxiety, and cognitive decline. The best form of folate is methylfolate, which is more bioavailable than other forms of the vitamin.
3. Vitamin D3: Vitamin D is essential for bone health and calcium absorption, but it also plays a role in regulating mood. Studies have found that people with low vitamin D levels are more likely to experience depression and anxiety. Sun exposure and fatty fish are natural sources of vitamin D, but supplements may also be necessary, especially during the winter months.
4. Vitamin B1 (thiamine): Thiamine is critical for energy production and brain function. Low levels of B1 have been linked to depression, irritability, and cognitive impairment. Good food sources of thiamine include meat, fish, and whole grains.
5. Zinc: Zinc is an essential mineral that supports immune function, wound healing, and DNA synthesis. Low levels of zinc have been linked to depression, anxiety, and cognitive decline. Good food sources of zinc include oysters, red meat, and pumpkin seeds.
Natural Remedies for Depression
While supplements can be helpful in correcting nutritional deficiencies, there are also other natural ways to improve depression symptoms. These include:
1. Take Probiotics: Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that live in your gut and help support immune function and gut health. Studies have found that probiotics can also improve mood and reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety.
2. Do Intermittent Fasting: Intermittent fasting involves cycling between periods of eating and fasting. Studies have found that intermittent fasting can improve mood and cognitive function and reduce anxiety and depression symptoms.
3. Get on the Healthy Keto® Diet: The Healthy Keto® diet involves eating high amounts of healthy fats and low amounts of carbohydrates. Studies have found that the Healthy Keto® diet can improve mood, reduce anxiety and depression symptoms, and support brain health.
4. Get Out in the Sun: Exposure to sunlight triggers the production of vitamin D in the body, which can help regulate mood. Spending time outdoors can also reduce stress and improve mental health.
5. Exercise: Regular exercise is known to improve mood and reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. Exercise releases endorphins, which are natural mood-boosters, and can also improve sleep quality and reduce stress.
Conclusion
In this article, we have explored the relationship between nutrient deficiencies and depression and suggested the best natural remedies for depression. By understanding which nutrients your body needs and making simple dietary and lifestyle changes, you can support your mental health and wellbeing naturally. If you are experiencing symptoms of depression, it is important to talk to your healthcare provider to determine the best course of treatment for you.

Today I want to cover five nutritional deficiencies that can lead to depression.
Your DNA can influence your mood and cause you to become susceptible to nutritional deficiencies, even if you’re on a fairly good diet.
Vitamin deficiencies that may cause depression:
1. Vitamin B12
The best forms of vitamin B12:
• Methylcobalamin
• Hydroxy B12
2. Folate (vitamin B9)
The best form of folate:
• Methylfolate
3. Vitamin D3
4. Vitamin B1 (thiamine)
5. Zinc
Try taking vitamin B12 and folate together and see if that gives you relief. If it doesn’t, you could move on to the other vitamins.
It’s a good idea to try taking the last three vitamins one at a time, with a few days in between, rather than all at once. This way, you have a better idea of which one you could be deficient in.
Other natural ways to improve depression:
1. Take probiotics
2. Do intermittent fasting
3. Get on the Healthy Keto® diet
4. Get out in the sun
5. Exercise
