Have you ever wondered why some antidepressants cause weight gain?

Will an SSRI make you feel numb?
Does taking an antidepressant mean that you're weaker than someone who doesn't "need" one?
Will you feel better immediately after taking an SSRI??

Today we are talking to Brittany Gordon, a New Jersey based therapist who is here to give us the skinny, haha, on all things SSRI's.

Guys, this conversation BLEW MY MIND!!

Make sure you REALLY pay attention to the conversation I have with Brittany. You will learn SO much and I hope you find it comforting.

Medication is here to HELP YOU.

Aside from medicine, what can you do?
Get outside, if you can be barefoot, even better
Journaling, yes, it ACTUALLY helps. Get grateful, baby.

Now, let's talk about FOOD, Baby!
Tonight,  I am making Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Bell Peppers, YUM!!
 You'll need:

• Green Bell Peppers: The most important ingredient in a stuffed peppers recipe is of course peppers! I used 3 green bell peppers here, but feel free to use whichever colors you’d like. 
• Shredded Chicken: Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Peppers call for 2 cups of cooked shredded chicken. I recommend you use store bought rotisserie chicken … it’s tasty and so dang easy!
• Plain Greek Yogurt: Plain greek yogurt is used here to make the pepper stuffing as creamy as can be! It provides a similar tang to sour cream, but is a healthier option. You’ll need 1/2 cup!
• Cream Cheese: You’ll also need cream cheese! I personally believe that cream cheese is vital to any buffalo chicken dip sort of recipe. So of course I added it to this recipe. 4 oz is the perfect amount!
• Cheddar Cheese: 1 cup of cheddar cheese on top of these stuffed green peppers is the perfect addition. It’s melty, golden, cheesy perfection!
• Buffalo Sauce: You will need 1/3 cup buffalo sauce to make these peppers. My go-to is always Frank’s Red Hot Buffalo Sauce.
• Garlic Powder: Add 1/2 tsp garlic powder to this recipe for a little extra flavor.
• Salt: Lastly, add salt to taste!

1. Set the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Halve the peppers long ways and remove the seeds.  Place in a baking dish, spray with olive oil, and bake for 15 minutes.
3. While the pepper are cooking work on the buffalo chicken mixture.  Combine the shredded chicken, greek yogurt, cream cheese, buffalo sauce, garlic powder, and salt.
4. Remove the peppers from the oven and fill with the chicken mixture.
5. Top the peppers with the shredded cheddar cheese.
6. Bake for 20 minutes.
7. Enjoy!
