I listened to a psychiatrist being interview the other day.
He shared how he was bound and determined to bust the, so called, beliefs that nutrition & diet are at the forefront of our mental well-being.
It was quite an intriguing interview...
In fact, when I first started listening, I almost stopped because of his conviction...
Plus knowing all the scientific evidence, emerging right now, on nutrition/diet and the huge roll it plays in our well-being, I struggled to continue!
I mean, he did ALL the Scientific Method studies he could possibly think of, on everything that impacts our psychological and emotional wellness.
Now, don't get me wrong...
I'm not saying that diet/nutrition are THE ONLY factors that play into our psychological and emotional well-being by no means.
I know and understand there are a number of things that can affect it all!
But 𝗞𝗘𝗘𝗣 𝗟𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚
About 45 minutes into the interview, he blew my mind as he completely flipped the switch!
He began to share a story about a man, that came into his office, who had been dealing with psychotic episodes for a number of years, along with depression, anxiety and a realm of other mental health issues.
But the man wasn't there there to see him for any of those issues that day!
What he wanted help with was to lose weight!
You see, the man was over 150 lbs over weight!
Ha...even though it wan't the psychiatrist speciality, he decided "why not"... maybe if I can at least get him started then I can refer him to someone else to help him achieve his goals.
He started him on a clean real foods diet, along with supplementation and a movement program.
𝘊𝘢𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘨𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘥?
YES...the man started losing weight,
but do you want to know what really blew the doctor's mind???
As the weight started dropping, they both noticed a decrease in his psychotic episodes!
𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗿?!?
Maybe??
But probably not.
And here's what surprised them even more...
Over the course of time, they were almost able to get him to the point where he wasn't having any episodes at all!
You see, here's what starting happening!
The man's microbiota and mitochondria started thriving because of the nutrition he was giving his body!
It's all about the M&M's in the body!
The 𝙈𝙞𝙘𝙧𝙤𝙗𝙞𝙤𝙩𝙖 & 𝙈𝙞𝙩𝙤𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙣𝙙𝙧𝙞𝙖!
I call this the M&M factors!
You treat them right and they will, 𝗯𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲, 𝘛𝘙𝘌𝘈𝘛 𝘠𝘖𝘜 𝘙𝘐𝘎𝘏𝘛 𝘉𝘈𝘊𝘒!
There is something to be said about 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 𝗪𝗔𝗬!
And if it has the power to do this for this man, can you IMAGINE what it could do for you?!
