I was a wreck in college. Eating junk food, smoking cigarettes, and drinking. I was so self-loathing and depressed. Nothing was working. A yoga class inspired me to use holistic health to heal. I started doing yoga every day, eating a whole-foods diet, going for walks, I quit alcohol and cigarettes. Within 3 months I was off all medications. After 1 year I had dropped 50 lbs. I started getting straight As and loving my life. Its been 12 years since then and I am still a happy, healthy person.

Awesome! I'm in tears reading how you were able to turn your life around by treating your body the way it wanted to be treated. I'm dealing with a 17 year old daughter (HS Senior) who's experienced 3 manic episodes this year. I'm adament that her diet and exercise will make a world of difference for her overall health as well. You have inspired me. I pray you are continued to be blessed.
I had anxiety and panic disorder and meds didn't work for me. When I changed doctor and went down the nutrition and exorcise path I recovered. Gut health & nutrition works wonders.

“Seafood, greens, nuts and beans, and a little bit of dark chocolate! “ Best catchy phrase EVER! Soooooooo smooth! Love it! Thank you!
My wife watched this video and rushed out to buy dark chocolate. The fish, beans, nuts and greens, not so much.

Nutrition, sleep and exercise are very important. Also, when you make decisions, always pick the choice that will improve yourself or move you in the right direction. Over time, you will one day discover that you are a person, that you are proud to be.

Indian soup called sambar makes me very happy. South Indian watery, spicy with Moringa pods called drumsticks and lentil soup. So tasty and full of vegetable variety. One doesn't have to suffer with kale salad. You can eat healthy and still satisfy your taste buds and your belly.
If you're wondering why this video has 10,000 views not 10,000,000. It's because it threatens the food industry. The multi billion dollar processed food industry.

Nutrition is so important for depression - thanks for helping to share this message
Storytelling and connection of it at the end to himself, it takes a lot of work to give a speech like this, i usually dont leave any comments, but this guy killed the speech, not regarding content, that is not my field. Great Work
The best way I've heard mental health and nutrition put. In a language that we all can understand. Thanks!
He’s great! You can tell he cares a lot about life and other people!
The best TedTalk I have ever watched.. deserves more attention!
This guy is amazing and so right! I wish someone would already wake up and understand this! So many people suffer 😢
Loved this! Thank you
Here to learn! Great talk!
Awesome speaker! Great information. I love that a DOCTOR put the words Prescription and food together. Many blessing to Pete.
Such a great presentation this guys very good. It deserves more views
Thankyou so much for this!!
Thanks! Amazing talk.
Thank you.
Great ted talk!
Uau, amei! Parabéns Dr. Drewm.
Thank you
You are awesome Piet🤓🙌🙌
I'm doing a bit of research for a behavioral health group I am a dietitian for. I think a wide range of people will be able to relate to your talk . Starting on the couch, branching away from western food addictions and reaching toward healthier seafood, beans and leafy greens is a realistic approach for a positive mind and healthier body. Thank you for an entertaining and interesting 15 minutes that I plan to share. Keep it up! - Jennifer MS, RDN
I suffered with this for years. I discovered the answer when I was near death. I love this guy for bringing this important truth to people today.

Awesome!
I saw his book at my local library and began to read it …
I was wondering if you could share the references to the articles you make in the talk?
Very informative
I wish I could find the links of the studies he mentioned :c
Unfortunately most people would rather just pop a pill. That's a tragedy. What he is saying is really important.

Dr Georgia Eades, also a nutritional psychiatrist has interpreted research to explain how important beef, chicken is in our diets. Plants are covered in chemicals and sadly it’s ignored. I am on a quest to find current, accurate and relevant information. So much to decipher and think through. Ruminant animals…cows…have 4 stomachs and they digest the plants they eat so thoroughly that the meat we eat from them does not have the harmful chemicals. It’s is thought that autoimmune diseases are caused by the harmful chemicals in the plant food that is eaten. Who knows? Definitely food for thought.

Getting this idea to the practice level is hindered mightily by cost. Affording a plethora of fresh vegetables, seafood, nuts, and high quality EVOO...flat out not attainable for most people. What would help is if people could afford these foods. Next, let's say there is an economic miracle and folks can afford these foods, how do families get those foods in their gut? By that I mean, realistically, can the average family really prepare a healthy breakfast every morning? Can the average family prepare a healthy lunch to take to work and school? Keep in mind that a school child has no access to refrigeration, so anything prepared at home and brought to school needs to be "shelf stable". Which family member will be tapped at the end of an exhausting work day to prepare a healthy meal? Which family member will then clean up after that meal?
Also the recipe for kidney stones 😩
