This is very interesting. After I had my son I began to work out to lose the weight I gained during my pregnancy and months later it hit me that I hadn't had anxiety attacks and depression in months. I have since always wondered if it was due to exercise.

Exercise does help with anxiety and depression, I know this first hand. I've been through periods of my life when I wasn't able to exercise and I always get super depressed and have really bad anxiety. Run 5+ miles a day and you will never feel better.

The presentation of the research is on another level once again, thanks.

You have wonderful gift to explain hard science topics :)

I got diagnosed 17 years ago. Somethings to bear in mind: if you are severely depressed, none of the above applies because you literally have neither the will, nor the energy to do anything. Again, depending on severity, or the stage of your recovery, you may be able and willing to exercise, but if you got at it too vigorously, it may set you back. I used to find that it would leave me feeling bereft. Looking back, I suspect that having unstable blood sugar played a part. I think the key is to build up intensity very, very slowly, especially if you were unfit prior to diagnosis. Also, it may take some time to find an exercise system that suits you, i.e. that you look forward to doing. So the message is, aim for it if you can, don't beat yourself up if you can't and don't force it.

Hello dear doctor Patrick. I like very much the content, and also very much infographics during conversation in the video. I do cold swimming, wim hof method for around 5 years now, and your content is very educating, refresing, informative, supportive. Thanks for your work, and sharing this with us :) Cheers from Slovakia :)

You are such an amazing teacher thank you Dr Patrick The impact you’ve had on my knowledge and understanding of exercise for mental health, the importance of sauna therapy and so much more has improved all aspects of my life Thanks for being such a bright light and fantastic educator ❤ love and light Davie

The best exercise that I’ve found for treating my depression is sprinting on the track. Essentially any exercise with high intensity intervals will be beneficial, but I’ve found that sprinting seems to provide the greatest “bang for the buck” since it is essentially a full body movement.

Interesting observation. I will try this for myself. I remember reading research on depression suggesting strongly some of the things people find helpful are: enjoying being outside in nature, time with pets, exercise, and positive social interaction. So I combined all 4 & the result is this: walk your fluffy puppy dog in a nice park with a friend. Bonus is every cute chick wants to stop and meet your puppy. Novel attractive females also boost testosterone production, which elevates mood. Woohoo.

Thank you Dr. Patrick. I do the indoor cycling because my knees can't handle the treadmill, elliptical, etc. I heard that intermittent intensity is best.

Great reasons to keep up moderate to intense aerobic exercise. Resistance exercise is a good adjuvant. Work on that diet, too. Insulin resistance can be reduced, mood improved, and weight controlled.

This was one of the most informative videos I have seen regarding high Quinolinic Acid. Very helpful! Thank you so much!

Hi Rhonda. Thank you for taking the time to produce this great video. I have one question for you: I’ve completely bought into the idea that exercise can help with depression, but I’m interested in knowing whether the benefits are available regardless of whether one chooses to work out in the morning or afternoon. Mornings can be tough for me. Thanks

Woohoo- she's back!! Always good info.

Wow, this video is fantastic! Thank you Dr. Patrick

Very informative. This is the only channel I follow that gives me homework 👍 I'd be curious to get your opinion on how I was able to lose 150lbs in just over a year through diet and exercise. Because now I'm struggling again and it's driving me nuts trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong. Anyway, great video!

Excellent presentation. Thank you. Off to do my hour on my indoor bike now.

Fiiiiiiine, I'll go to spin class tomorrow. 🙃

I have suffered from treatment resistant GAD and comorbid depression for over 20 years. Symptoms include low testosterone and adrenal fatigue which make exercise difficult. Took up jogging recently and so far after each short jog I don't feel any better (no endorphins or runners high) I just seem to develop post exercise headaches instead. It is disheartening but I will persevere.

İntermittent fasting and exercise are definitely precursors of a sharp intelligence and good mood,brilliant work Rhonda⚡️.

Dr. Rhonda please make a video on supplements, diet and exercises during pregnancy....

Beautiful video and beautiful you. Thanks for all this wonderful information!

Completely 100% agree!!! I think though most people want a quick and easy fix and like most of what happens in life that you don't get to a point in a day neither do you fix it either in a day. Patience and perseverance are key.

I've had depression for one month short of 20 years and outside of Lexapro - which I've been on and off, now on the minimum dose of 5mg which for some reason seems to keep my anxiety completely away with minimal side effects - I can say that things that affect my depression in a positive way are: - Endurance exercise such a running and biking - Cold water therapy as in really cold showers or swimming in cold water. - Wim Hof breathing daily. This is my most recent addition and seems to work really well with the cold water. I'm always sceptical but so far so good so I'm continuing all three here :) Of course this is only MY experience and what has worked for me case of depression. We're all individuals and the research is on-going.

Thank you very much for the awesome video!

Fantastic piece - thanks!

Omg she back!

Any thoughts on what the minimum-effective-dose is or how it differs across the 3 exercise types (strength training, aerobic, anaerobic)? For example, for anaerobic, on a recent Bulletproof podcast episode, they mention the CAR.O.L FIT AI cycling machine only requires two 20-second periods at "maximum-intensity" to get the full benefit?! Ben Greenfield had an episode on the X3 Isokinetic Bar (bone compression) which supposedly only requires 10 min/day! Or thoughts on using Blood-Flow-Restriction/Occlusion techniques for strength-training? Ken Ford for example, recommends GoBstrong and KAATSU. Are there benefits of stacking exercise mimetics (ex. Aceytl L-Carnitine (Thorne) , beta alanine, etc).. or, like antioxidants, can they potentially undo some of the positive signaling of the physical exercise? On a recent HumanOS podcast episode, Ben Miller suggests this is the case with metformin!

Incredible video. Dr. Raison talks about how blocking the inflammation pathways will prevent the mice from getting the beneficial metabolic effects from exercise. Out of curiosity, is there evidence that taking things like turmeric or ginger after intense exercise might also blunt the benefits? I find that these help me recover faster from long runs.

Very informative, thank you!

I would say the problem here is depression is a catch all for a cluster of symptoms towards low mood, low motivation, all the way to physical symptoms. So depending on the underlying cause for your depressive symptoms excercise may or may not help, for other perhaps the cause is different than yours and excercise will help.

Hi, Can you PLEASE do a video on the antinutrients in plant food, this is a big topic at the moment and one I find very confusing...Are plants good or bad?

Rhonda is the most astute of all the health advocates that I've encountered. That said, aerobic exercise can be greatly enhanced as a sedative when combined with heat therapy just prior to sleep. If a hot tub is used, it's important to lean back so as to heat the brain stem and skull, and likewise to lean forward so as to submerse the face so as to treat the trigeminal nerve and in particular the occular nerves which tend to generate much of the hyper-vigilance and chronic tension that prevents sound sleep. Also of value, one may place salt--NaCl, KaCl (for lower blood pressure), MgCl and or epsom salt under the tongue with a bit of olive oil so as to further enhance this modality. KaBr is also of value, but care must be taken as when combined with other salts the possibility of liberating poisonous chlorine gas may come into play. Best therefore to take care to combine mixed salts in a spoon with water so as to check to make sure that this sort of reactivity does not take place.

Excellent video. Enjoy the graphics and explanations. Thank you for taking the time and effort putting out this content.
