Fight Depression With This Bedtime Modification

  Depression is one of the most common and most devastating medical problems physicians like myself deal with. 16 million Americans are diagnosed with clinical depression. And many more suffer under the veil of depression without an actual diagnosis.  Over the past few decades, we’ve discovered a great deal on the underlying causes of depression.  Essentially, it boils down to imbalances of essential neurotransmitters (like serotonin, dopamine, acetylcholine and more).  And while we know the mechanism that causes depression, we’re still figuring out what causes the imbalance to occur in the first place.  I’m of the opinion, that most cases of depression can be traced back to a number of factors.  My research has shown me environmental factors play a...

  Green tea. It’s one of nature’s most beneficial beverages as it contains far reaching health benefits that many other beverages will never manage to provide. Now, I do want to take a second and talk about a really big problem I have with green tea. It’s really not green. It’s more like a clear muddy brown.

Simple Treatment Is 400% More Effective For Improving The Blues

When it comes to helping people feel better, live longer, and eradicate many of the disease/conditions we deal with on a regular basis, I can think of no better medicine for these than food.It's a simple input and output formula: put good food in, and good health comes out. Now don't get me wrong - there are times when things go wrong with our bodies, and sometimes the best treatment for those comes in the form of a drug.But for hundreds of the more common conditions my patients deal with, I find the easiest fix is simply changing what they eat. I've believed this for a long time, and it seems like these beliefs are being supported more and more by mainstream science.

Why You'll Never Trust These Medicines Again

Every single year, millions upon millions of dollars are spent advertising one class of drugs as the end-all-be-all solution for mental health problems.Leading the way in overall prescription rates are: antidepressants. These drugs are meant to help address chemical imbalances in the brain, as well as set a happier calmer mood and rewire the brain.While a decent number of people are able to take these drugs and make them work, millions more find themselves hopping from one pill to the next without ever finding the one that works for them. And now a HUGE study published in one of the most well-respected medical journals in the world actually shows antidepressants not just to be ineffective, but potentially deadly.
