Anxiety has surpassed depression as the number one mental illness in the US. Could our food and missing amino acids be part of the reason why?  

Trudy Scott is an expert in the food-mood connection and she shares some different ways to look at how the things that we put in our mouths affect our physical and mental health. If we can look at our symptoms of anxiety as an opportunity to be in a respectful dialogue with our bodies, we can begin to hone in on the different sources of anxiety, such as low serotonin or low GABA. 

On today’s episode of A Healthy Curiosity:

• How Trudy's own anxiety led her down this path
• Why a vegetarian diet was detrimental for her
• What the differences between low serotonin and low GABA anxiety are
• The connection between neurotransmitter deficiencies and gut health
• The social anxiety disorder known as pyroluria
