Health Protocols
Mood Support
Diet
- Decrease refined carbohydrates. Carbohydrates can cause swings in blood sugar that can stress the glands and lead to anxiety and bouts of depression.
- Learn to avoid gluten in foods. Gluten is a protein found in many grains which can trigger inflammatory reactions in the skin. There are many books about gluten-free living
- Cut unhealthy fats such as fried foods, foods high in trans-fatty acids and saturated fats. A balance of healthy fats is essential for a healthy mood. Especially avoid soy oil and corn oil.
- Avoid soy products unless they are fermented. If you do eat significant amounts of soy, be sure to add extra iodine supplementation.
Lifestyle
- Chronic stress can cause severe strain on the adrenal glands which can result in a condition called "adrenal exhaustion". Adrenal exhaustion may be at the base of many mood disorders. Learn coping mechanisms and purge your life of toxic people and circumstances.
- Thyroid dysfunction usually follows adrenal dysfunction and further worsens conditions of mood imbalance. See the protocol on thyroid imbalance.
- Exercise is one of the most effective and efficient means of balancing neurotransmitters. By helping to enhance serotonin secretion, exercise has been found to be the most effective long-term treatment for depression, even outperforming prescription medications.
