I work out a dietary regime individually for my clients and myself. Every person has unique and different needs. This includes foods best for the person and a carefully determined supplement protocol.I work with psychological and nutritional approaches. They work well.

I immediately crash into a depressive funk after eating any amount of chocolate. Caffeine has a similar effect, very serious but not as immediately debilitating.

I would die without chocolate. Though ice cream can sometimes upset my stomach, a (small) bowl of chocolate –or moose tracks, which is my favorite– ice cream, and a cup of fruit tea always make me feel at least 95% better after I’ve had an episode. It sounds like a strange combination, and everyone might want to experiment with their tea flavor, but i find that the warm tea cuts the cold ice cream in a pleasantly calming manner in my mouth. I guess it draws my focus into the act of eating, and away from the nightmarish swirlings of my own head. Hope this helps someone out there. good luck.

Eating sugary foods makes my mood somewhat unpredictable, impatient and volitile.
If only doctors were able to give out some common sense dietary advice the world would be a happier place!
