What is the real cause in the rise of mental health issues? Over the past 10 years, we have been in an unprecedented mental health crisis. Anxiety, depression, and suicide are all  increasing. This is not even a fraction of the mental health issues facing everyday people. It does not take a genius to know that  the rise has been on an even  steeper incline since the pandemic of 2020.

While there are many contributing factors, research and science show that. Diet is one of them. And it is significant.

Today’s episode is a treat. My guest is Morgan Staton, an occupational therapist turned functional medicine practitioner. 

Our bodies are not perfect. None of our bodies are the same. Just as we are all unique, so should our approach be  to mental health. 

I love the concept of functional medicine. It starts with you knowing what your body needs and listening to your body telling you what is going on, and trusting that intuition. It then looks at what are the foods, behaviors, and environments that contribute your well being, and those that are taking away from it. When needed, it relies on prescriptive medication for assistance in the healing process. It is a perfect blend of using our natural abilities and to do what our bodies do best, and science based medicine, to live a happy and healthy life. 

Morgan Staton and I talk about her journey into functional medicine, the role of food on our brain and mental health, and what we all can be doing right now to improve our mental health with the food we eat. 
 
I hope you enjoy today's episode.
