It's remarkable how much the foods we eat can impact our brain chemistry and emotions. What and when we eat can make the difference between feeling anxious and staying calm and in control. But most of us don't realize how much our diets influence our moods, thoughts, and feelings until we make a change. In this book, you'll find four unique antianxiety diets designed to help you address nutritional deficiencies that may be at the root of your anxiety and enjoy the many foods that foster increased emotional balance.
This easy-to-use guide helps you choose the best plan for you and incorporates effective anxiety-busting foods and nutrients. You'll soon be on the path to freeing yourself from anxiety—and enjoying an improved overall mood, better sleep, fewer cravings, and optimal health—the natural way!
In The Antianxiety Food Solution, you'll discover:
- How to assess your diet for anxiety-causing and anxiety-calming foods and nutrients
- Foods and nutrients that balance your brain chemistry
- Which anxiety-triggering foods and drinks you may need to avoid
- Easy lifestyle changes that reduce anxiety and increase happiness
Here is the table of contents and a selection of quotes and facts from each chapter of the book.
This book "fills an important gap in the popular literature on anxiety. It provides clear, helpful guidelines for utilizing nutrition to overcome anxiety."
— Edmund Bourne, PhD, author of The Anxiety and Phobia Workbook
I can "recommend it for practitioners who have patients/clients who want to improve their affect, increase energy levels (who doesn't!), suffers from anxiety, poor memory or sleep issues. Pass on this book to them and ask them to read it through cover to cover. It's got a wealth of tips and resources linking behaviour with nutrition, and does it gracefully and with much self-insight.
I've read many books on the subject of psychology and biochemical links, and this is definitely one of the best written. It's aimed at the intelligent reader who may have a little knowledge of nutrition, as well as practitioners and those who use patient centred approaches within their practice."

"I cried my way thru this book ~ out of JOY~ for finally finding a very helpful book! I have been on a journey for 10 years trying to navigate issues with depression, stress, anxiety, insomnia and other fun things. I've been to doctors, psychologists, psychiatrists and counselors. I've been put on medication which after many years of that left me suicidal, overweight, depressed and very angry. It is VERY frustrating trying to navigate doctors, testing and information out there that could help you. This summer I read several books that addressed depression from a dietary and nutrition standpoint. This one was the best in my opinion. It's not too long, easy to read and understand, and well organized. And it agreed with several things I had read in other books ~ such as the use of amino acids, vitamins and issues with gluten and sugar to address depression, etc. There's many good 'life stories' in it too which help you relate. Thanks Trudy Scott!"
