The Session: Nutrition & Mental Health-2
The Session with Martie Whittekin
Martie Whittekin is Tom’s sister, and a Certified Clinical Nutritionist. Host of the Healthy By Nature Show. She’s been a nutrition counselor since 1982, authored 3 books, including The Probiotic Cure and Natural Alternatives to Nexium, Maalox, Tagamet and Prilosec. She served as President of the Natural Products Association, and founder of Texans for Health Freedom, and served on the Board of Trustees of Bastyr University. She’s been married to Bill for “a very long time”, has 4 grown children and 2 grandchildren.
First, a couple of “little Tommy” stories…
Today on the Session we are going to connect Martie’s work in the nutrition sciences with Tom’s work in mental health, and I’m just along for the ride. First, Tom, we turn to God’s word…
Today we are going to discuss the role nutrition plays in our mental health, specifically as nutrition relates to helping prevent mental disorders and depression.
Both of you define depression from your professional perspective
Then we talk through, starting with Marti, the role nutrition plays in contributing to and preventing or treating depression.
What foods/additives might contribute to depression?
What foods/ additives might help fight depression?
What foods/additives might help prevent depression?
The mental aspects of depression, and how you might use nutrition/diet in your treatment of someone with depression. Any case histories you all might be able to share would be cool. With important personal names/information kept out of it, of course.
Explore, starting with Martie, any other mental disorders that nutrition/additives/supplements might contribute too. Maybe talking about how eating lots of fast food contribute to our health, any other conditions, like diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney or heart disease, might be impacted by diet. And then, Tom, jump in as you like with collaborating information.
As a last topic, if you both want to, and if time allows, I’d like to discuss products we all see advertised on tv, that promote everything from mental acuity in our old age to joint health to weight loss. What are things we should look to avoid, or should we be concerned with ads that say, “these statements have not been evaluated by the FDA”, or “this product is not to be used to treat or cure any disease”.
