Meet "Dr. Julia Rucklidge, Professor of Clinical Psychology at the University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand. Originally from Toronto, she did her training in neurobiology and Clinical Psychology. Her interests in nutrition and mental illness grew out of her own research showing poor outcomes for children with significant psychiatric illness despite receiving conventional treatments for their conditions. For the last several years, she has been investigating the role of micronutrients in the expression of mental illness, specifically ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, anxiety and more recently, stress and PTSD associated with the Canterbury earthquakes." (see her TED talk here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSLUWb08Jig) This conversation was both informative and thought provoking. Dr. Rucklidge's research should have us taking a pause as to what we are feeding our children before prescribing more medication.

When you are a doctor attempting to help patients reverse chronic disease it can be rewarding and frustrating beyond belief. When you hear what patients believe is a healthy diet, when they tell you their doctors tell them you will have type 2 diabetes forever, etc you begin to think nothing will ever change. Sometimes you need to just share your thoughts and the TRUTH of why the number one killer of Americans, heart disease, does not have to be that way. You can do something about and listen to find out what that is! Please share the podcast and rate it wherever you listen to increase the rankings and as always thank you for listening!

This week I share insights about the book, "Getting Things Done," by David Allen and why we are all so anxious and overwhelmed all of the time. We are so used to have thousands of things flying at us at once we never have the opportunity to sit and relax. Why does our brain not let go of the many mundane items that we don't necessarily need to deal with at the moment? I also discuss the lives of doctors and how a little compassion towards your physician could make their day! Tune in and please share if you found this helpful and PLEASE leave a rating wherever you listen. Have a blessed day everyone!
