As I’ve been trying to better my own diet and find foods to eat that help to decrease stress and anxiety, I’ve also been learning about foods to help with depression. So many people just haven’t any idea how diet can affect our moods and brain chemistry. My good friend and colleague, Dr. Nicole Sundene, from Kitchen Table Medicine has helped me tremendously to start to be more conscience of the foods I eat and how they may affect my moods and my internal chemistry. What you see on the outside is not necessarily what is going on in the inside.

I may be as thin as the runway models you see during fashion week in New York City (smiles), but that doesn’t speak for how my mind and body are reacting on the inside. Be kind with what you put into your body and your mind will catch up with your body and be kind to you. Please reference these 2 articles for great eating tips from Kitchen Table Medicine.
