This review is from: The Anti-Anxiety Food Solution: How the Foods You Eat Can Help You Calm Your Anxious Mind, Improve Your Mood, & End Cravings (Paperback)

I cried my way thru this book ~ out of JOY~ for finally finding a very helpful book! I have been on a journey for 10 years trying to navigate issues with depression, stress, anxiety, insomnia and other fun things. I've been to doctors, psychologists and counselors. I've been put on medication which after many years of that left me suicidal, overweight, depressed and very angry. It is VERY frustrating trying to navigate doctors, testing and information out there that could help you. This summer I read several books that addressed depression from a dietary and nutrition standpoint. This one was the best in my opinion. It's not too long, easy to read and understand, and well organized. And it agreed with several things I had read in other books ~ such as the use of amino acids, vitamins and issues with gluten and sugar to address depression, etc. There's many good 'life stories' in it too which help you relate. Thanks Trudy Scott!

I am a nutritionist who works with mood disorders such as anxiety and depression. I know first hand that it can be crippling. Trudy Scott presents such a user-friendly format to work through this issue. Her use of assessments is invaluable to readers, letting them know immediately what their issues are, and offers step-by-step solutions using food and a few targeted amino acids. This book REALLY DOES help. And I bet readers will be amazed how much better they will feel overall, both mind and body, using this book's recommendations.

I appreciate this thoroughly researched gem, packed full of wisdom and immediate solutions, and so clearly written and accessible! I am thrilled to have this book to share with clients, and show them that there is an easy, effective alternative to the very, very addictive class of drugs called benzos (benzodiazepines).

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is a must-read for anyone with chronic health challenges like fibromyalgia, August 1, 2011

By 

Deborah Genovesi (Temecula, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Anti-Anxiety Food Solution: How the Foods You Eat Can Help You Calm Your Anxious Mind, Improve Your Mood, & End Cravings (Paperback)

Not being an especially anxious person, I wondered if this book would be useful to me. After reading it, I can wholeheartedly say YES! After more than a decade of feeling ill most of the time, with various headache, IBS, neck and back pain, fatigue, weight and other issues, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. No one explained the link between the food I was eating and my symptoms--this book does that nicely. I found the chapters on sugar and gluten to be key for me.

After a few weeks of living gluten and sugar free I am feeling much better. Best of all, the book made me feel empowered. I see now that I do have a choice as to how I will feel and fibro is not a sentence to lifelong pain and suffering, as it's commonly viewed. With a proper diet I can control and eventually eliminate symptoms while improving my overall health.

Thank you Trudy Scott for getting this valuable book into the hands of those of us who had almost lost hope.

My advice if you struggle with chronic health challenges: don't underestimate the role diet and nutrition play. Get this book TODAY and free yourself from needless suffering!
