QUOTES:

"When a doctor says to you, "Here take this prescription," as I have done as well, it's disempowering to someone, you know. You're being told you have to do this and you have this symptom and this is what will make you better. I think that nutrition and food flips that ratio and puts the person in the driver seat." [25:14]

"Having those little things at the tips of the fingers is empowering; knowing that there are 200 names for sugar." [28:30]

"What I find is that of the different diets, the mediterranean eating pattern has consistently shown the best results for depression and anxiety." [32:00]
