Do you get hangry? Or are you aware that your anxiety (fatigue or depression) gets worse between meals? Are there particular foods that your body can't tolerate? For me its sugary food for breakfast (like crepes or french toast with maple syrup). I end up melancholic for the day, or having a small cry to my hubby. How does sugar affect you?

Gluconeogenesis is how we make the glucose we need when blood sugar is low. Most of us don’t use this function while awake because we eat too much carb and sugars. Try dropping wheat, grains, sugar for a couple weeks and you will feel more even in mood and function. Increase fats and low carb veggies, nuts and seeds. My daughter learned that her poor moods, focus, anxiety were tied to gluten, not sugar. Life changing.

Hi Dr Janelle Sinclair, I have a question. How do we differentiate the root cause of what is causing the anxiety/depression? I've watched allot of your videos and each one I can relate too. In December i started having GI issues ulcer pain is what my PCP told me it was of course his resolution was upping my dose of omeprazole. By this time I had already been on it for a year. I feel like ultimately this led to vitamin deficiency that ultimately made me anxious/depressed. Fast forward to today and i've lost 30 pounds as a result of the ulcer pain and me drastically changing my diet which includes cutting out all alcohol *sigh* and eating a very clean diet no carbs or any of the bad foods you described in your video. Two weeks ago they checked my blood sugar A1C and it shows that I am now prediabetic! And I'm just so confused as to how to get treatment because I feel like all of this is being caused from vitamin deficiency and my diabetic state is from the stress and anxious just sitting at home as i type this i have heart palpations/slight pains. Which I had as a child when i suffered from anxiety but i haven't had them since. Sprinkle a little Covid19 fear on top of it and it's basically a living hell. Is there any way I can get treatment from you remotely?

I'd make sure that you eat low glycemic foods with protein and fat before you exercise. I'd also suggest that you trial an electrolyte with magnesium and potassium, as you loose electrolytes when you exercise and in the heat. Magnesium and potassium deficiencies can lead to anxiety. You need to check the electrolyte formula as most don't include these ingredients.

@@DrJanelleSinclair I’ve read that people get anxiety when their blood sugar starts dropping. I’ve also read this on a diabetes blog - the moment the flip is switched and the blood sugar starts dropping, which would happen because of higher insulin causing the blood sugar to start dropping. Foods that stimulate a lot of insulin (insulinogenic foods) are the culprit it would seem. Fruit is not insulinogenic. If I remember correctly the most insulinogenic foods are dairy and meat. Grains too. I think the body gets anxious when the blood sugar starts tanking from high to low. Fruit does not super spike blood sugar. I find that when I do prolonged exercise, which I do regularly the best thing is an apple before for slow release glucose and fructose and if going for a while I will do fruit smoothies. If someone is craving sugar they are craving fruit but they don’t make the connection.

@DrJanelleSinclair

Hi Mark. I would recommend staying away from artificial sugars, they can actually contribute to anxiety. You're right that stevia is a good one, as are xylitol and erythritol (sugar substitutes often used in the keto world). Taurine is actually a helpful amino acid for brain function, so I'm not too worried about that. I would be more concerned with the caffeine in the energy drinks. If you use it too often it can put stress on the adrenal glands- yes caffeine gives you a boost in the short-term, but in the long-term has a detrimental effect with regards to fatigue, mood and anxiety. Hope this information helps you. J
