People would like to believe that if they eat everything in moderation or just add good food or supplements to their typical Western pro-inflammatory diet, they will be in good shape but I don’t think it usually works out that way for many of us.

Doctors always recommend a healthy diet but the truth is I don’t even think anyone knows what that means anymore including most doctors themselves.  The standard American diet is pretty much a disaster for the human body and mind. The other problem is that even if there was a consensus on what constitutes a healthy diet getting people motivated or inspired to adhere to it is very challenging. However, there was a young woman who presented to me with severe depressive symptoms. Medications were only temporarily helpful and even dietary changes revealed no consistent pattern until she hit upon a modified ketogenic diet.
