I really enjoyed sharing a few of my top antianxiety food solution tips on the Annie Jennings’ JenningsWire podcast! It was short but sweet! We managed to cover real food, red meat, coffee!!, tryptophan and gluten in 10 minutes!
The Antianxiety Food Solution
- How do you calm your anxious mind, improve your mood and end cravings with food?
- Does red meat cause anxiety?
- If you’re anxious do you really have to quit caffeine?
- Everyone is talking about the gluten-free diet – what is the tie in to mood?
- What is your favorite nutrient for eliminating anxiety, worry, negative self-talk, low self-esteem and afternoon/evening sugar cravings?
- What are the key nutrients for addressing social anxiety?
You can go to the Annie Jennings’ JenningsWire podcast page to listen to the 10 minute audio interview.
We didn’t get to the last question: What are the key nutrients for addressing social anxiety? If you have the little-known condition called pyroluria (the main symptoms are inner tension and social anxiety) you may need to supplement with zinc and vitamin B6. These nutrients also happen to be co-factors for making brain chemicals like serotonin and the calming GABA. I am seeing an overlap between the traits anxious introverts resonate with and the pyroluria symptoms ! Imagine a nutritional solution for anxious introverts!

Thanks Annie and Stacey for the opportunity!
After working with you, I knew the answers to all of your questions 🙂 You’re such an excellent teacher and speaker! Congratulations on the interview. She is lucky to have you!
Thanks Jessica! it was wonderful working with you and so glad you knew all the answers!
It’s great that you got to be on the podcast. Slowly but surely you are educating us all about nutrition as medicine.
Thanks Sue – it was really interesting doing a 10 minute interview! I’m used to hour long interviews. I managed to make it work!
Wow! A LOT of information in a SHORT amount of time!! I am going to have to listen again. Question about gluten-y cravings. Normally, I have no trouble consciously deciding whether or not I REALLY want to eat the stuff. But now I’m pregnant and it seems my brain doesn’t work as well when it comes to this. Partially it’s because it seems like I am ALWAYS hungry and NEVER get full, which drives me crazy. I eat regular meals and then eat granola bars in between. I eat fruit & carrots as snacks too, but they do close to nothing as far as hunger goes. I would rather do without the g bars. What can I do to fill up and keep this baby happy? Sheesh.

You don’t mention what you eat for breakfast or lunch? If you get enough protein it can make the world of difference. I’d also suggest adding some protein and good fats to those in between meal snacks – maybe a boiled egg, cheese or some grass-fed beef jerky? Have you tried pemmican? great high-energy “bar” for the 21st century – fat, jerky, sea salt and cranberries.
You also need more protein and fat during pregnancy anyway – congrats BTW!
Trudy
Thanks Trudy. I have learned that sugar can cause a lot of problems and take pains to avoid it.
Thanks for sharing. You packed in lots of great information in 10 minutes, Trudy!
Trudy, you are so amazing with the work you do and what a difference it makes. How wonderful for people to see/hear that there can be such simple nutritional solutions to help support their health. I’m astounded at the amount of information you managed to pack into 10 short minutes!
thanks Mira – it CAN be so simple! 10 minutes is challenging as I have so much to share! good practice for when I’m on Dr Oz! ha ha!
I agree – it can be hard to get it all in in 10 minutes, but the information you shared is definitely enough to get people on the right track. The connection between food (and what’s in it) and all the other areas of our lives is critical for us to understand. Thanks for continuing to share.
Great information Trudy. Thank you for sharing this with everyone.
