Very good guest! Very interesting. The host focuses on removing food from the diet but adding is easier and more effective. I often have an ultra-processed side dish to motivate me to eat my boring nutritious mostly vegetable main since I'm not a good or motivated cook .
Another interesting thing mentioned.. Youcould worry social media reinforces the difficult symptoms of the illness but conditions that cause mental illness often have a flipside that can be embraced in an accepting environment. Not all of them, I don't know if there are any positives to, say, unipolar depression, but maybe there are aspects of it besides depression that people with it have in common and they figure out through the community, even if it's something as obvious as compassion and understanding for other people going through the same thing. I think likes and engagement are toxic, but the actual little support comminuties online that might originate on social media but then change to a forum or similar where likes and clout aren't a thing are very different, once the moderation is good and not highly symptomatic itself (as it was in the "proa**" forums)

Kimberley Wison is informing the general public about how ultra processed ( junk food) affect mental health. I do look forward to reading her books. Food or culinary culture begins at home and not at school or the hospital's and medical clinics. Don't expect the government people to do anything about brain health. We should all do our part to prevent lifestyle illnesses and the biochemistry of crime.

Also important is NOT being an animal abuser. So veganism with a constant eye on nutrition is best. Who wants to be an animal abuser?

Don't become addicted or dependent on junk food as many medical doctors will not have the best solutions.
