Nutrition treatment -Depression• Improve gut health• (90% of serotonin is made and used in the nervous system of the gut.
Gut health will improve with time by cleaning up the diet.
• Testing for gluten intolerance • may be helpful for some (blood test anti-TTG, HLA DQ2, DQ8), if tests are
positive it is wise to eliminate gluten from diet (depression can be the only symptom in some people for gluten intolerance or unrecognized coeliac disease)
• Cut the crap• removing processed refined foods and artificial preservative and
additives, limiting alcohol and caffeine
• Increasing intake of whole foods• fresh vegetables and fruits, nuts, seeds, healthy fats, proteins
