I Fixed 30 Depressed Years (with Food!) by Joan Kent, PhD
I’d been depressed for most of my life. Before I knew the word, I thought I was just sad, but it never went away.
My life was filled with reasons to be depressed, including abusive parents and a mentally ill mother. But this went beyond. I spent hours each week thinking of ways to kill myself.
“Depression is the most unpleasant thing I have ever experienced. It is that absence of being able to envisage that you will ever be cheerful again. The absence of hope.” – J.K. Rowling
I tried meditation, personal-growth seminars, positive thinking, you name it. My mood would change temporarily, but the all-too-familiar depression always returned.
Have you ever had a problem you couldn’t solve, no matter what you tried?
The Unlikely Source of My Solution
Somewhere in all of this, I had written an article for the newsletter of the fitness club where I worked. It was on insulin resistance. A woman walked in, clutching the article, and demanded an appointment with the author.
So that’s how I met This Woman. She worked with drug addicts and alcoholics and kept them successfully in recovery by using the effects of foods on their brain chemistry.
Fascinating, right? I learned all I could from her, then started studying on my own. Very little information was available on the topic — this was a long time ago — but I kept reading.
I’ve never been addicted to drugs or alcohol, but I began to make changes in my diet. My situation starting evolving.
One morning, for example, as I waited for my personal training client to arrive, I noticed I was feeling … fabulous. No other word for it. I’d never felt that good before.
Things kept getting better. My health improved. I no longer caught colds, got the flu, or had other nuisance health issues. The monthly pain I had suffered with virtually disappeared.
And the Depression?
Sometime later, I ended up in a fitness seminar with people — mostly women — who discussed their “down” moods and mood swings. That day, I realized I never felt depressed anymore. Never thought about it, never worried about it. It was no longer part of my life.
Needless to say, I don’t miss it.
Now I have a PhD in Psychoactive Nutrition, how foods affect mental state by changing hormones and brain chem, and I use my powers for good! I’ve helped many clients with physical health problems – but have also helped others reverse anxiety, depression, poor mental focus, and mood swings. Over time, I’ve made those things easier and easier for clients to accomplish.
