Summary of Transcript:
In this YouTube video, Dr. Uma Nedu discusses nutritional psychiatry, which is the idea that mental health can be improved through diet and nutrition. She explains that she grew up in a family about love and food and wanted to learn more about food and nutrition. She then went to culinary school and eventually began incorporating diet and nutrition into her psychiatry practice. She explains that anxiety, depression, PTSD, and OCD have been skyrocketing for decades and that nutrition can play a role in helping to reduce symptoms. She explains that gluten and sugar can both trigger anxiety and that artificial sweeteners can disrupt the gut and lead to cravings for sweet, carb-heavy foods. She also notes that there is a correlation between depression and sugar intake.

QUOTES:
“When a doctor says to you, “Here, take this prescription,” as I have done, it’s disempowering to someone, you know. You’re being told you must do this and have this symptom, which will improve you. I think nutrition and food flip that ratio and put the person in the driver’s seat.” [25:14]
“Having those little things at the tips of the fingers is empowering, knowing that there are 200 names for sugar.” [28:30]
“I find that of the different diets, the Mediterranean eating pattern has consistently shown the best results for depression and anxiety.” [32:00]
