NOTE FROM TED: Please consult with a mental health professional and do not look to this talk for medical advice as the intersection of mental health and nutrition is still an emerging field of study. We’ve flagged this talk for falling outside TEDx’s curatorial guidelines because it oversimplifies interpretations of legitimate studies. TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers. The guidelines we give TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: http://storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/tedx_content_guidelines.pdf This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. In this critically important talk, clinical psychologist Julia Rucklidge explores a range of scientific research, including her own, showing the significant role played by nutrition in mental health or illness. Julia J Rucklidge, PhD is a Professor of Clinical Psychology in the Department of Psychology at the University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand. Originally from Toronto, she did her training in neurobiology (McGill) and Clinical Psychology (University of Calgary). 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 6 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. About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
Take micronutrients.
Take fish oil or omega 3 fatty acids.
Eat fresh foods, less processed and sugary foods
It is a good video but I wish she had mentioned what the “micronutrients” used in the research were, also, I noticed that there are no scientific reference papers cited for independent review, even though I do agree 100% with the information provided here.
What jackass flagged this?
Oh sure where are the profits for big pharma in all you”re suggestions 😃😄😆😆😆😆😆🙏
Some say we are what we eat but more important is we are what we absorb! As a Truehope empower + supplements user for almost 22 years for bipolar disorder I started on their newest version called Empowerplus Ultimate- requiring just one pill per day vs previous 6 or originally 32 pills per day. Wow! Works so well!
I wish I knew all of this before I was convinced to take meds. These Meds are impossible to get off of. I have tried many times. The horrific withdrawals last at least 3 months and I became suicidal. I tried these micro nutrients for months and when I stopped the meds completely after weaning for months I went right back into withdrawals and couldn’t sleep. It’s so frustrating!
I’m so grateful this research is available. Thank you ❤🤩🤩
What you mentioned in 10:25 is the reason this will not become mainstteam. The puppet docters on the strings of big pharma wonn’t allow it
It makes me so sad that this lady needs to tell everyone. Your being poisoned, and have been for years. You can go 2 ways, with nature or against it.. Your choice. Choose well.
I wonder if the study differentiated between those that are GMO and Non-GMO fruits and veggies.
I loved this talk. I listened to it at work, so I didn’t get to (see) provided information, but I was impressed with what I heard. It definitely challenged me to eat better and eat less processed foods. In regards to the medical and nutritional implications of the talk, the phrase about micro nutrients you used, “They might be more cost-effective” is going to be part of the problem. Currently, If there’s a problem, it would seem most doctors just prescribe medication rather than suggesting lifestyle change. Lifestyle change does not provide greater income to those in the medical field. Lastly, I noticed this was posted to youtube 8 years ago. Either research has confirmed this to not be true or we have people who don’t want it to be true.
Ok but what vitamins should I be taking then>
I’m glad that this is getting out there. I know several mentally ill people who don’t feel like medication does enough for them.
For me personally, exercise, sleep, and having a way to deal with my emotions (through my journal) have been what has been working for me. I also try to not have too much going on at the same time.
I’m trying to eat healthier for several reasons.
I liked for her being barefoot. hehe 😁
Wonderful information but if the medical industry would put that to practice it’ll go BANKRUPT. Medication = $$$$$$
