Having a healthy mental attitude to food and your body is one of THE almost important foundational steps to a happy and balanced life.
Vegan ice creams n stuff are made from soy… so i think dairy is better than that
Depression comes from dead animals.. animal secretion(milk cheese) sugar and all processed foods!!!! You need living food:)
why so many people are against drinking milk, its to inform you that the benefits are yet to discover. its got amazing effects on human health.
Hey guys, can you check my video Food For Thought out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwI5Wjd-STk
I’m trying to explain how mental health is a vital issue that needs to be resolved and accommodated to immediately otherwise it will progressively become worse. My belief is that this issue will continue to rise whilst individuals continue to consume unhealthy food, at the level that is occurring currently.
Foods that can provide your body with the materials required to increase GABA levels within your body could be used to combat this. However, in my video I must highlight that I am not solely explaining that it is just GABA, but that GABA is one of many neurotransmitters that is involved as well as it’s synergistic workings with glutamate.
I absolutely love this video and videos like this! I too am plant based mix that with a high stress job + 50% travel so my hormones and body felt unbalanced which I could tell based on the acne and texture of my hair/skin. Can’t wait to incorporate these products into my every day to help zen my body out. Thank you!!
Awesome video!! very informative, just what I was looking for. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video really need it!!! My hormones are all out of wack I take thyroid medicine but I don’t feel like it helps. Going to try these tips!!!!
Yeah this is partly why literally 90% of the people I know are depressed. They make unhealthy food choices smh.
Thank you so much thanks to you I’m going to buy ashwagandha I had an inflammation on my thyroid
Great video life saving for me I have a pancreas problem I feel it’s linked to h hormones as I drank a lot of a alcohol and now in late 40s.how did I heal pancease.Thank you godbless
This video was misleading but I’m glad I found out about the Modimed diet. It actually sounds surprisingly close to mine.
(insert depressed edgy 12 year old complaining about depression)
Mcdonalds makes me feel good for 5 mins. Then i crash hard. Guilt, depression, shame, nausea
Your hormones can be outta wack by eating too much fat right? I’ve always ate nuts and seeds in excess. And also have acne which I believe to be hormonal. I recently have been eating extremely low amount of fats and hardly ever eat nuts and seeds and if I do its a few chia seeds in yogurt. I’ve heard eating such low fat is bad for hormones but I isn’t the opposite possible too? So far I haven’t had any adverse effects. No positive either though, acne is still there. In fact my skin was more clear before I started eating low fat smdh.
YO TENGO YO TENGO YO TENGO YO TENGO YO TENGO YO TENGO YO TENGO YO TENGO
Can i take black coffee with coconut oil in it n chia seeds in water during Intermittent Fasting? Will it break my fast
before i had harmony problems and thats make me week and sick.I was very indecisive about getting these but I’m so glad I did! They’re very good and helps relax my stomach during bad cramps. secretoftea thanks for making me helathy again
What they’re not doing is breaking down why. Sugars, especially processed sugars cause increases of dopamine in the brain very similar to that of cocaine and heroin. If a person becomes accustomed to consuming a lot of sugar that also means they become used to having unnaturally high levels of dopamine, when you have too much dopamine and can create more instantly on demand rather than working for it you will become depressed, and stressed. The things you used to easily enjoy, the hobbies you invested so much in, ect become bland as the sugar fueled dopamine rushes exceed everything else. Cutting out sugar will also come with withdrawal effect and in some if they consume a LOT of sugar can experience withdrawal effects similar to those cocaine…
Sugar is the most addictive drug that nobody knows is a drug.
Hey Dr. Mona, please tell me whether peanut butter causes weight gain because for the past few months I have incorporated it in my breakfast.
Thanks for your transparency it kept me from “changing the channel.” Helpful info!
cough
McDonalds? Seems like your “happy meal” has been beaten by healthy foods.
Good info.
Gluten has a T in the middle. Glue-Ten, not glue-in.
What if your thyroid is being removed due to thyroid cancer and you’re to be on medication? I’ve seen a list of things I can’t eat as they will mess with the function of the medication.
That diet just sounds like eating proper actual food. Throw in the occaisional sweet thing and I am all for it! I personally have found that eating loads of fruit and vegetables (while not changing anything else (this often includes eating unhealthy foods)) has made me feel physically better.
I eat healthy and still get depressive episodes. Finally getting over the last one though I’m still not 100%
I had no idea there was such a strong connection between food and mood. Thank you for sharing.
What do you think about Medical Medium? He says complete opposite
I really love the flow of the animation! So soothing to watch
Hi Doctor I am on bio identical progesterone and estrogen is it OK to take Ashwagandha I’ve been taking it for a couple months now.
This is bullshit gmos aint less healthy than their counterparts sometimes even the other way around
Oatmeal for breakfast every morning! Maybe that’s why I’m always smiling:)
i disagree,we can eat whatever we want, and you can’t control us
I feel only saddnes then my friends made fun of me for saying I NEED to see a therapist
I always feel like crying when I eat. I’m a skinny woman so I was always told to eat more and that I don’t eat enough. They expect me to have this huge appetite and I don’t so when I don’t eat it all it makes me feel unaccomplished and confused
Thanks for the Video! Excuse me for the intrusion, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you heard the talk about Chireetler Stubborn Fat Rule (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now)? It is a great exclusive guide for discovering what to eat to balance hormones and eliminating trouble fat spots minus the normal expense. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my mate at last got great results with it.
My food makes me happy:)
My pets, mom and food r the only things that make me happy
Eating makes me depressed.
Whenever I eat, I feel like I’m hurting someone or disappointing somebody.
I cry after I ate, and I hurt myself.
Is there any advice u can give to those that have lost part or most of their reproductive system. I had one ovary and both tubes removed and ever since I’ve had so many issues. Just wondering what to do to help my hormones because i know they’ve gone haywire!
My gastroenterologist told me if you have leaky gut your in the intensive care unit and that people thinking they have that is just a health fad
It can beat depression, Sure. But it doesn’t sound healthy at all. Including Soda, Red Meat into diet, not to mention beer! Drunk person can be happy, sure. But is drinking healthy? I am not discrediting this study but the sample size is too small and they have only consumed one diet (modimed diet), please add more subjected later with various different kinds of diet.
1) dark choc
2) banana
3) oily fish
4) avocado
5) raw nuts
6) oats
100% Eating fat, real meat and a few veggies and I’m happy. Eat carbs and I get sad. Do i still eat carbs at times? YES, yes I do. Why? Oh that’s easy, I’m self destructive occasionally.
Sorry that you did not find this very entertaining. Thanks for watching anyway! 😉
You look A-Ma-ZING! I’ve watched your videos for a while and I can see your beautiful transformation. And the best part of this is that is real. Everything you’ve done is natural and pretty much is what you live by. Great job! Thank you for sharing the greatness of healthy habits!!
I am pretty sure you can find good solutions on Woo&Pep page, great for health:)
Sure there are more vegetable diarie milks available but they contain way to much additives
Don’t believe this crap. I have depression and eating candy and snacks makes me happy. I tried eating 100% healthy for 1 month and I felt more depressed. I’m normal weight so it doesn’t give me anxiety.
I want to make the switch to almond milk but I hesitate because I never know if they’ve added any preservatives or other chemicals to that too to make it last. Can anyone recommend good healthy chemical-free almond milk?
This is why eating veggies and fruits are important for your diet, that’s why I eat them all the time. =).
Hi.. I take probiotic yogurt n also cheddar cheese n milk I take max quarter cup in entire day in tea because almond milk is tad bit expensive n m not sure abt it’s purity. Cud u pls suggest some affordable n easily available alternates for bread n wheat in India? Am vegetarian n hv hypo thyroidism
What can I take to help I have low stomach acid, candida, seborrheic derm on my scalp, and I have hypothyroid and dealing with low progesterone and high prolactin what can I do!! I’m so desperate
For me foods like burgers, Hot dogs, sandwiches and other junk food makes me depressed but when I eat something healthy like a salad it makes me happy.
Depression had made me stop eating instead of eating more. I ended up losing over 25 pounds in the course of 3 months and had severe dehydration.
the two sodas and two beers thing doesn’t mean that they should or could do it every day or every week, that was the MAXIMUM. So if they go for drinks on Saturday they can only have 2 beers and that it’s all, and if they don’t drink at all the rest of the week it’s fine, doesn’t mean they HAVE TO
You are lovely and I enjoyed this video. I’m struggling with hot flashes and mood swings, I take great care of myself (no dairy, plant based diet, exercise) but I just can’t seem to strike a balance. I’m going to try these recommendations. Thank you!

I have hyperthyroidism,is it okay for me the ashwaganda ma’am?
Nigga is eat veggies and shit with fruit roasted shit and I still hate myself. I. Fucking healthy and sad.
Oh.. right…. I don’t eat meat. FUCK.
Great content! Thank you. I enjoyed the format and info you shared.
McDonalds = McMeltdowns and McDepression. that’s why people fight at McDonalds
Hi,there
I need your advice.
How can I talk or chat with you?
Please
Study the effects of veg & fruit & not some loony vegan sites as there obviously mad (as they don’t see humans digestive systems are designed primarily for meat not veg) & you’ll find meat like beef is the main food you need to lose weight & cheer up & boost energy massively.
Greens are chemically fighting us it’s the plants defence & most cancel out other nutrients..but raise the meat in your diet a lot & you’ll see massive changes fast.
We don’t have a gorillas colon or a cows 4 stomachs were not very suited to veggie diets but we have evolved to be omnivores as meat is not always available..but our digestive system like a cat is very designed for meat.greens don’t give you the energy you need.study meat & veg more for yourself & if you don’t want to eat animals eat a vegan as there very low intelligence creatures they won’t suffer.
This is true I used to eat lots of junk food and stopped eating it and became a lot happier and confident
Hi thank you so much for all your videos and information.
I love these videos as much if not more then the what you eat in a day so keep them coming.
Also I am on a Candida cleanse and learning a lot about this, could you please do a more in-depth video on this. Thank you xx
ive been strugling to loose weight and I feel its my hormones.:(
Hi would you mind giving me your opinion on hormonal replacement therapy? I had it done and it hasn’t given me the results the doctor was expecting, I got a second blood work done after the hrt and my estrogen is super low when before it was withing normal limits and just did the hrt to boost libido and energy, I got a boost three months after the first time, but I’m still feeling exhausted and no libido. I don’t think I’m entering menopause yet, my Dr told me the hrt was gonna help me boost fertility and that was my target, I’m in my late 30’s.
I take beef thyroid gland from a company called ancestral supplements, would ashwaganda be safe to take with that?
I love food right, but it makes me feel fat so I don’t really eat much anymore
I tried to drink stuff from four sigmatic…it tasted so awful that I just threw most of it away
I would have loved an explanation on why proteins are helpful for a sleepy and unmotivated type. What’s the mechanism? And should they be mainly plant-based as animal-based ones cause inflammation in the body?
They talk about certain foods making you happy but if having no food make you worst or better?
This isn’t necessarily wrong or right, its correct for some people who are less healthy but I eat relatively healthy and I have been for years because of my depression, yet it hasn’t made it better. Even when I was first diagnosed with depression, I was a very healthy person, it always depends on the person. You can’t always beat depression from changing simple things, sometimes its just too complex and you have to figure out what you need to repair in your own mind, which aren’t always related to how others are.
These advices are very well founded and useful. More of Dr. Emmons would be great.
Do you recommend gluten free breads? Or gluten free products as a good alternative?
Hermons in cows cant affect our bodies because the receptors in our bodies for hormone is different than the cows’
DR MONA HOW CAN I ACHIEVE THAT SLIM ARMS PLEASE HELP ME
I just got rid of diabetes thru keto so I for surely cant be a vegan.
Also, regular dairy milk has cow puss. Dairy increases inflammation and mucus in the body. We should not consume milk from a cow, just like a cow shouldn’t consume goat milk. It’s just not for us as humans.
Great tips, will be incorporating these options.
This video was very informative! Thank you
I will try Thyme and fennel in my green tea
food used to make me feel better (i’d eat out of stress, frustration, sadness, etc) but then i started feeling guilty and ashamed lmao so im like this now
Omg you are so beautiful and body is on point, love that you are a dr too soo cool
I just found your channel & I’m addicted you are so on point with alot of things I’ve learned. I’m slowly trying to go vegan
By your thyroid being low, do you mean your TSH levels (indicating hyperthyroid) Or do you mean you are low as in hypothyroid? @dr.mona
I used to get extreme cravings before my period. I followed my best friend’s advice to load up on kale salads a few days before my cycle and it worked for the last 2 months! She said her mom told her who’s grandmother told her but we don’t know why it works♀️
Do you know why that might work for us?

Thank you so much Mona ❤️
Your tips helped me so much
Finally, no more acne on my skin
I had an allergic reaction to Ashwaganda,I took a supplement and it caused severe itching.Is there an alternative?
low fat, low sodium, ect. can cause you to be depressed and unhealthy. if you don’t want the fat don’t eat the item at all because chances are the fat is there to help you break down what your eating. just eat as less processed foods and make better choices and avoid low anything. that and cut sugar intake because sugar can make you moody and depressed.
That last part about max 2 alcoholic beverages per day seems “especially hard” to follow? What am I missing?
Ketogenic diet saved my life https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rl5MYwCNDg0&t
I seem to get breakout after breakout on my chin constantly! I don’t consume dairy, I drink 2.5L water plus a day, work out 5x a week and eat really healthy. I have no idea what to do. Sleep 8 hours a night, not stressed and take vitamins. Any advice would be really appreciated
Dr. Wand can we take ashwagandha when u dont have a thyroid? My mom had her thyroid removed due to thyroid cancer. I want to help her because her hormones are imbalanced. She is moody and depressed.
Hi Mona
If I put cream on my coffee what is good to use I was using Califia almond milk and I was getting a lot of bloat, but I switched to soy, and I noticed your not a big fan of soy milk?
Thank you..
Cutting out dairy brought a LOT of positive effects for me. The way we treat animals is absolutely going to catch up with us. Coconut milk is a great alternative.
Can you take this adaptogen if you’ve had a thyroidectomy and rely on synthroid?
Dr Mona, could you please talk about endometriosis? Thanks. Shelley x
Any recommendations to reduce stress? Should i take anti anxiety meds? I am in constant stress. as a college student, i am spending over 15 hours working and at LEAST 35 hours on school. My hormones are so out of whack; I’ve been gaining weight (even tho i am eating well and am going to the gym), my acne is going CRAZY, and my period is super late (it’s also heavier and my cramps are worse). Thanks!!
Listen to her she’s 1000% correct…My life has changed drastically since I’ve been eating healthier…I kicked wasted fast food carbs to the curb forever!
Thank you so much for this video. I have been struggling for a few years now with hormonal imbalance. I will definitely incorporate these suggestions into my daily diet routine and see how it works out. You have definitely gotten yourself a new subscriber!!
I needed this SO much! You’re the best, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
Labas, Apie Hurmonus matai sulaukes tam tikrą amžių silpnėja jaudulis. Natūrali mada priklauso kaip pateksi savo stilių. Visi renkasi skirtingus rūbus. Kad aš geriu Vokiška kava. Visko negaliu išbandyti sunkus givenimas mano. Ačiū kad pasidalinote gal bus kitiems naudinga informacija. Puikiai atrodai miela matyti ačiū ❤️
I’m a 50 yr old premen. woman don’t go to doctors and am leary of advice, although I found this video very informative and appreciate the knowledge which was backed by your years of research and application as I could tell, thank you
Hey Dr. Mona! You give off such a good energy. I’m on the other side of the world and I can still feel it. Amazing content and super helpful! When you’ve mentioned your cortisol spikes at around 5 am, its actually because of the Circadian cycle. Waking up from the sleep state is probably one of the most stressful situations that a body has to go through whence the cortisol levels remain high from around 5 am to 9 am if I’m not wrong. Just thought of sharing this information! Hope it helps <3
This moment when you eat healthy everyday but in the nights you are so depressed, thinking too much and crying. Then you grab chocolate and chips. Well healthy food can’t fix my depression I guess:)
I ferment my organic milk when the raw is out of season and I’m totally happy with that. It’s delish and clears the skin after a few weeks. Reg milk is too tough on my system though, I agree. Couldn’t do the alternatives to milk. They just don’t taste very good to me.
NEVER EAT WHEN SAD. NEVER THINK/TALK ABOUT PROBLEMS WHEN EATING. BE YOUR BIGGEST FAN, YOUR OWN COACH, AND BEST FRIEND! WHAT YOU SAY TO YOURSELF MATTERS, THE WARRIOR INSIDE OF YOU HEARS IT ALL.. AND YOU DESERVE TO BE HAPPY HEALTHY AND FULLY ALIVE. <3 BEST OF LUCK! MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU =)
i think vegan is the way to go. very healthy and you got much more energy:)
Granola!! I have it every morning and the ones I don’t I feel so bleugh by 5pm. It’s magic. Terra Breads y’all are my heroes ♀️ ♂️
No fast food, bread, or pasta; stop eating these and you will lose weight and not get depressed.
Can you make another video about balancing hormones and haing fertility issues?
If you have a heavy metal toksisity just go to the hospital, don t have a tea.
Thank you for all this helpful information I have just ordered most of your recommendations xx
My body is alway cold like I’m a dead person. I think I might get checked out thank you.
Kudos for the video content! Forgive me for the intrusion, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you researched Chireetler Stubborn Fat Rule (just google it)? It is a great one of a kind guide for discovering what to eat to balance hormones and eliminating trouble fat spots without the normal expense. Ive heard some great things about it and my mate after a lifetime of fighting got excellent results with it.
I’m very interested in trying the 4 sigmatics adaptations blend but I read the warning label on the package and it said “consuming this product can expose you to chemicals including lead” that is very scary to read. What are your thoughts about that. Thanks
Ashawanga is it ok if my issue is with progesterone and estrogen?
Thank you so much for this video! I’m coming into this new year with homework prepared so I can start living a healthy life.
How do you know if somebody is happy? Sometimes depression isn’t shown like an outfit or it’s hidden.. so therefore this experiment isn’t true
Hello Dr. Vand, I am a huge fan and I would appreciate it if you can please reply to me with a link for what brand of ashwan I should purchase. Thank you for your time. I am thinking of buying the powder form, but I am not sure which brand to buy.
Giving nutrition and dietetic advice is not within a pharmacist’s scope of practice
I’ve been wanting to take ashwagandha for years now, but keep coming across conflicting info, on if it’s safe to take if you have lupus, although in remissionfor many, many years. Any insight on this?
Cortisol levels are naturally highest the first thing in the morning.
