I look forward to seeing how you improve. We have a friend who suffers with depression I’d love to see if this would help him too.

I found that eating salmon at least 3 times a week has help me feel less gloomy. I have had a very good Week 1 and am now starting Week 2 tomorrow. I am feeling my feelings much more strongly but less depressed. The fish oil is also important and I remembered to take it most days at the beginning of the meal, like he says. Good Luck!

I agree, getting motivated when you are down is difficult because I have been there. But the hope of improved health and a better quality of life begins one day at a time. These community sites are also inspirational and encouraging. Like Dr. Hyman says in his book, if we just cut out sugar and white flour we will go along way to improving our…[Read more]

I just checked the box at the top of this page under Health Conditions and you will find Dr. Hymans suggestions about depression. He treats the whole body, not just the symptoms.

This is the best place for the support and answers you need. The plan really works. (I am just ending week 4. My bg is normal (80’s) and my bp is much lower (was 140/90, not 114/74). Yep. You are definitely in the right place. Best of luck.

Welcome – if you want to change your life and rid yourself and your husband of diabetes – this is the place to be! Do the advanced plan for 6 weeks and see the amazing results!.

I am dealing with that… I was hoping beyond all hope that this would help alleviate it…. I’m only starting this program now, so have nothing to compare yet. How long have you been with the program?

I’m right there with you- I understand. I just started the ultrasimple diet today in hopes of decreasing inflammation & losing a few pounds- I’m not sure how it differs from the BSS.
I have had to delay starting this diet so many times as I have had recurrent c diff infections which leaves you wiht terrible post infection IBS.
I decided I just…[Read more]

My understanding of peppermint and spearmint anything on a sick gut is not recommended. Better is ginger and/or chamomile.Just a suggestion.

Hi tptvox! Welcome! I’ve had type 2 diabetes for 10 years and have been on the advanced program for 5 weeks now. 2 words : IT WORKS!. My BG numbers are down, down , down, Dr. took me off 80% of one of my meds, I’ve lost weight and inches and my BMI has dropped from 33.31 to 29.0! I feel better, moods much more stable, hardly no cravings and I…[Read more]

My teen daughter’s depression is turning around with the diet and fish oil. She’s not 100% compliant but it is working and a whole lot cheaper than talk therapy so give it a whirl and see what happens. We are all relieved to see her experiencing less mood swings, PMS and whatnot. Other inflammatory symptoms are also going ways.

I am new to this too. Today was day 1 of the advanced plan. I am feeling the withdrawals from sugar and caffeine. Hope it gets better in a day or two. It is encouraging to read all these positive comments. Have you found the online journal? I can’t seem to find it. Good Luck!
