Had the pleasure of having Dr. Nicole Lippman-Barile (@feedyourmental) on to talk about all things mental health and depression. Topics discussed:

-What is depression? How do we define it? Does everyone experience the same symptoms?

-Does a healthy diet 'cure' depression? What the research says + some common misconceptions

-Impacts of exercise on depression and mental health

-Modifiable + non-modifiable risk factors as it pertains to developing/working through depression

-Challenges people face when dealing with depression and why common messaging online might not be helpful,

-A conversation around ADHD and autism + how nutrition might/might not impact it.

-Benefits of therapy, when to see a therapist + who might benefit

+ so much more in-between.

I loved this chat and I know you will too.
