The information I shared could save you or someone you love from deep depression and/or suicide. So far, in podcast 1 on Depression, I explained the signs to be on the lookout for and the traditional approaches to the issue. Episode 39 looks at food and mood. There are many new findings connecting what we eat is what our gut bacteria eat, and there is a direct line from our gut up our vagus nerve to our 'feel good" hormones, so eating the rainbow takes on a new significance. It is crucial for health and mood. Episode 40 looks at vitamin and mineral deficiencies and how they impact mood, and now this episode {Episode 41, looks at your hormones.

All my suggestions are lifestyle changes so that they won't harm you, but they might make all the difference.

I also have an article posted this morning in Brainz Magazine, an international magazine where I am a noted top 500 contributor. The article sums up the problem of why we are becoming so depressed as a society and the new field of psychonutrition that might make all the difference in the world. If you follow me, then you know that the Standard American Diet of processed and fast foods doesn't give our bodies what they need to stay in balance and be "disease" free.

I have concluded that health is balance. If our bodies are out of balance, we get chronic illnesses. If our moods are out of balance, we get depressed. If we continue to eat the same CRAP (Carbonated, Refined, Artificial, Processed ), we continue to slide down into illness. There should be no stigma for Mental Illness anymore than there is a stigma for chronic illness. There are solutions, so be proactive and own your health even while seeking medical solutions.

Please share this information with anyone in your life dealing with dark moods, and let them know Rain Doesn't Last Forever. There are solutions, so please reach out.

We have several feel-good hormones, and there are lifestyle changes we can adopt that promote healthy hormone balance.

I talk about all the feel-good hormones and how to maximize them in your body to find balance and health. For example, Seratonin, Dopamine, GABA, Insulin, Oxytocin, and Endorphines are all impacted by the food we eat, exercise, and meditation.

Eating the SAD and all the chemicals in fast and processed food dampers our feel-good hormones.

Suppose you need help breaking the addiction of sugar and chemicals in the diet America eats. In that case, I run a quarterly class with great success on Ditch the Diet and Stop Eating Crap, and I am just beginning a class on Food Quality Matters and how to get the biggest bang for your money from your food.

The purpose of my two classes is to help your body and, therefore, your hormones return to balance.
