Primal nutrition for anxiety and depression

- Which healthy fats to include and why
- Why include nutrient-dense bone broths and how to make them
- Mineral-rich foods make a difference
Here is the blog post from season 1 of the Anxiety Summit: The Research – Food to prevent and treat anxiety and depression?
out of every single dietary food grouping that I looked at including vegetables, fruits, salads, beans, etc the strongest correlate of mental health was red meat intake (grass-fed red meat of course)
I’m glad we talked about total cholesterol that is too low because the whole cholesterol question comes up a lot. Here is a blog post with some links to studies: Total cholesterol that is too low: anxiety and depression in women
Here is some research on how trans fats make us depressed and anxious
Here is my roasted spicy pumpkin seed recipe and Magdalena’s liver pate recipe
If you can’t get your meat locally, you can mail order grass-fed meat and other wonderful products like liver and pemmican from US Wellness Meats. In the interview I mentioned their Liverwurst, which is a mixture of grass-fed beef trim (30%), liver (30%), heart (20%) and kidney (20%). I really think this “is the tastiest way to incorporate healthy grass-fed beef organs into your diet!” All of their beef products are 100% grass-fed and grass-finished. They source from family farms, and endorse sustainable farming and humane practices.
Dr. Lo is the host of Dr. Lo Radio, a top rated podcast on iTunes that has attracted over 1million listens. It’s a great podcast. Here are links to 2 shows: Death by Food Pyramid with Denise Minger and Your Personal Paleo Code with Chris Kresser

Dr, Noel, thanks for such an informative and practical talk. Could find all signs of deficiencies you mentioned:) From my side – also a practical question. I hear many times that Homocysteine can be lovered by taking B12. But what if B12 is elevated for many years? No B vitamins taken as supplements. Can elevated B12 be a sign of Pernicious anemia or in that case B12 should be very low? Thank you so much for your answer. Si
