    Quitting coffee (due to gastrtis) has improved my mental health significantly. In conjunction with healthy eating. I had no idea coffee was the source of my social anxiety and mild depression.

    I started the Paleo diet in March, no more back pain (car accident), lowered A1C, more energy, anxiety lessening. I will never go back to grains and potatoes. I have always been a whole food person with a few exceptions in tough times. This is the best road for me, the benefits are many.

    I had migraines for many years, at least once a month, each and every one lasting 18-30 hours. Taking dangerous medications wasn't an option for me. I remember randomly finding a lecture about history of seed oils which led to my complete reevaluation of dietary fats. Soon after I started the keto and my migraines were gone! So was my anxiety! I stayed on keto/paleo for a few years, then switched to a low carb "diet", but occasionally return to keto.
    PS a side benefit - my eyesight improved.

    I have same story. Started a program called Restore health to lose weight. Simultaneously also joined a so-called mental health program. Turns out all I needed was the dietary reform. I am amazed how much more steady my moods are and how quickly I bounce back from lows. (The recommended diet was not ketogenic or paleo, but definitely low-carb. Carb avoiding, I'd call it. For example i Have not eaten bread, pasta, or rice since I've been on it .)

    To an extent, but not everyone who is benzo injured has or had gut issues, nor did they have the issues pre-BIND. Clearly, severe withdrawal does a number on the gut for many, but so does severe stress, lack of exercise, lack of good social connections, etc. Did everyone have these issues before? I see everyone doing extreme diets in benzoland and nothing seems to help. Clearly, it takes time and sensibility. Simple, clean diets are key, but healthy diets don’t need books.

    I refuse to believe that so many doctors are not aware of the importance of diet/ gut health on the brain/ cns?it has to be that they are simply disregarding it in order to prescribe meds? I've battled depression for over 20 years( diagnosed) and not once, with seeing GPS, psychologists and psychiatrists have I ever had diet being considered in my treatment. It's frankly embarrassing for the medical profession and traumatising to the patient.

    The word ‘diet’ means so many different things to so many people that it may be worth people first learning what foods we - as homo sapiens- evolved eating.
    This will help them have some contextual understanding as a foundation on which to build a new way of eating.
    Therefore, I can recommend watching a presentation of a researcher into ancient foods which is on UA-cam:

    The focus is too much on mental health period. Learning to deal with normal issues as mental health shortcomings is leading to most people thinking they are ill. Diet helps all but mental health needs to be redefined. Normal not abnormal issues.

    Diet and exercise were the first things I tried for my chronic illness. Yes elimination diet helped me figure out what I was allergic to, lowering processed food intake, high protein low carb, etc it all helped. But it did not cure my illness. The idea that diet and exercise can cure illness is actually very mainstream and the first and often only suggestions a lot of people get for certain conditions. In my case, exercise ended up exacerbating a lot of my issues unless done in extreme moderation. Can’t help but think for some people, focusing on diet is not helpful, especially when using it for mental health conditions, my mind goes towards people with restrictive eating disorders. In the end I think it’s common sense that general health advice will likely also help sick people, but it may not apply to every disorder and it certainly is no cure for most conditions. It’s interesting that so many people with fibromyalgia say that diet and other lifestyle changes cured their condition. I can’t help but wonder what severity they had, because a mild food sensitivity, blood sugar issue, whatever is not really fibromyalgia. I know it’s a syndrome but it’s supposed to be a diagnosis of exclusion, as in you made sure it wasn’t something else. People with fibromyalgia may somewhat improve with lifestyle changes including diet but to say diet would cure us, I have to question if your fibro diagnosis was wrong because I’ve been sick for 10 years and nothing I do as far as diet has cured or significantly improved me

    Diet is not enough. And I'm seeing this big trend on youtube where ppl are doing keto, or vegan, or carnivore and making all these claims. Then it's all to sell their book at the end of the day. Of course eating junk all day is bad for your mental health. Learning to eat proper food is important. But "keto" is not some magical cure to anything lol. And not everyone's depression or anxiety is just caused my their diet and gut health. I understand meds suck and they harmed a lot of us (Including me). But, this is just more nonsense information. There are many many reasons someone can have mental health problems. The severity for everyone is different too.
