Friday, August 19, 2011 11:45am -12:30pm, Grand Ballroom
PLENARY SPEAKER: “Food and Mood: The science behind the effects of food on mental health”
There is much evidence supporting the food-mood connection and there are some very exciting recent studies that support this for anxiety, depression and bipolar disorder. It’s important to look at foods to eat and foods to avoid, as well as specific nutrients. An editorial in the American Journal of Psychiatry offered a very powerful comment on three recent food-mood studies: “It is both compelling and daunting to consider that dietary intervention at an individual or population level could reduce rates of psychiatric disorders. There are exciting implications for clinical care, public health, and research” (Freeman 2010, 245).  The goal of this presentation is to share specifics when it comes to dietary intervention.

Friday, August 19, 2011 4:00-5:30pm, Capitol Ballroom A
WORKSHOP SPEAKER: “Food and Mood: 9 Steps to Eliminate Anxiety, Stress, Social Phobia and Panic Attacks”.
These are the 9 steps that are covered in The Antianxiety Food Solution: How the Foods You Eat Can Help You Calm Your Anxious Mind, Improve Your Mood and End Cravings. We’ll cover real food, sugar and blood sugar, caffeine, gluten, digestion, brain chemistry, pyroluria, low vitamin D and lifestyle factors like exercise.  This will be a hands-on and very practical 1.5 hour workshop.

The Antianxiety Food Solution will be available for purchase afterwards and I’ll be doing book signings too.

Micronutrients for Mental Health Association

Anti-Anxiety Food Solution: How Eating Real Whole Food Can Prevent Anxiety and Accelerate Recovery

It is imperative to eliminate refined sugar, white flour and processed foods but there is so much more we can offer our clients when it comes to nourishment for anxiety disorders. We need to consider the following: eating to control blood sugar swings; top-notch quality organic and non-GMO food; grass-fed meat and wild fish; superfoods like coconut oil, bone broths and sauerkraut; dandelion and other greens for liver support and improved digestion; and avoiding additives, artificial sweeteners and toxins that further stress the body. Including this valuable nutritional element of eating real whole traditional foods provides an important level of healing for anxiety and all mental health disorders. Avoiding gluten-containing foods, caffeine and other substances are imperative for some individuals. Food purchasing and preparation ideas will be shared, as well as valuable resources for further reading, support and education

Holistic Treatment: Changing the Way We Look at Recovery – Mind, Body and Spirit – 1000+ addiction/mood professionals

“Eat Whole Real Food to Accelerate Addition Recovery & Mood Stabilization”

In recovery, it is imperative to eliminate refined sugar, white flour and processed foods but there is so much more we can offer our clients when it comes to nourishment: eating to control blood sugar swings; top-notch quality organic/non-GMO food; grass-fed meat and wild fish; superfoods like coconut oil and sauerkraut; dandelion and other greens for liver support and improved digestion; and avoiding additives, artificial sweeteners and toxins that further burden the body.  Those recently in recovery, suffer from a myriad of nutrient depletions and imbalances, and have absorption issues. Including this valuable nutritional element of eating well, provides another important level of healing.  Food purchasing and preparation ideas will be shared, as well as valuable resources for further reading, support and education.
