- When it comes to diet and health, we most often think about physical health. But what we eat affects more than our bodies; it also affects our brains. And recent studies have shown that diet can have a profound impact on mental health conditions ranging from ADHD to depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, OCD, dementia, and beyond.
In this minisode, Dr. Hyman speaks with nutritional psychologist, Dr. Uma Naido about how one of the most common food offenders she sees with her patients is gluten. They discuss the correlation between anxiety and consuming gluten, even in those without celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. He also speaks with Maggie Ward to discuss why gluten sensitivity and intolerance has been on the rise in recent decades, and how to determine if it is a problem for you.
Michelin-starred chef David Bouley described Dr. Uma Naidoo as the world’s first “triple threat” in the food as medicine space. She is a Harvard trained psychiatrist, Professional Chef and Nutrition Specialist. Her niche work is in Nutritional Psychiatry and she is regarded both nationally and internationally as a medical pioneer in this more newly recognized field.
In her role as a Clinical Scientist, Dr. Naidoo founded and directs the first hospital-based clinical service in Nutritional Psychiatry in the US. She is the Director of Nutritional and Lifestyle Psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and Director of Nutritional Psychiatry at the Massachusetts General Hospital Academy while serving on the faculty at Harvard Medical School.
Dr. Naidoo is the author of, This is Your Brain on Food, released August 4, 2020. In her book, she shows the cutting-edge science explaining the ways in which food contributes to our mental health and how a sound diet can help treat and prevent a wide range of psychological and cognitive health issues, from ADHD to anxiety, depression, OCD, and others.

I've struggled with anxiety for 25 years and I can tolerate gluten until the cows come home. But when I cut out gluten on the advice of my naturopath, the results were immediate and dramatic.
I wish it helped me. I ate organic sprouted though, so maybe because there was no pesticides, and low gluten to begin with.
Aamzing! Thank you for sharing. How long did the results take?
@@reene1701 I've so far managed to string together 2-3 week stretches before falling off the wagon. But that's actually been useful because when I do, I feel the full force of how reintroducing gluten affects me. I never would've considered it a factor before I experimented with it.
@@carolynatherton2106 amazing. I am going to have to try getting off. Good luck xoxo
Same here, I had stopped eating gluten per the advice of a naturopath and when I do eat it I notice my thoughts become more anxious and im more impatient, I don't think its in my head, I love bread and cake, but I want to get back on this gluten free diet and save cake for special occasions like weddings, haha
I have late-onset celiac disease, and with it came other food allergies--including an allergy to milk. As a child I had had no food allergies. Shortly after coming down with celiac disease I began having full-blown panic attacks (which doctors treated unsuccessfully with SSRIs). I had already cut gluten out of my diet, but when a nutritionist told me I was also allergic to milk, I cut milk products out as well. Within 9 days, my anxiety level was about half of what it had been. I have never had another panic attack, and that was 23 years ago. Both my mother and her mother (both Italians) had panic attacks, and suffered from depression. My mother also took Librium for anxiety. I have now discovered that many people in my Italian family have diagnosed celiac disease. I think my mother and grandmother also had it, but just didn't know. I'm pretty healthy now, at 75, but it took years for my intestines and adrenal glands to recover, and during that time I had a number of nutritional deficiencies caused by malabsorption. I still take a lot of vitamins.
Did your family incorporate pasta in there meals?
Growing up we had pasta all the time. My relatives in Italy who have celiac disease do not eat "fake" pasta. Like me, they eat rice and potatoes as the main sources of starch. @@JoseRamirez-xg5cl
I've been gluten-free for only 2 weeks and I feel like such a weight has been lifted off my shoulders, both physically and mentally, something that hasn't happened even after years of tasking omega 3's, b12 and B-complex, Synthroid, etc. I've been doing some research literally just yesterday and came across some articles talking about how removing dairy and gluten from your diet can improve mental health. I was still unsure about it and then this video just came out! I'm confident now that I can attribute these changes to removing gluten from my diet.
It's definitely hard in the beginning but I'm not the type to eat bread or pasta and chips every day, so when I do I make gluten-free choices that don't taste bad (i.e. chickpea flour pasta). Thank you Mark Hyman for these amazing videos! You have changed my perspective by showing me researched and proven things I can do to improve my own health instead of relying on the one too many incompetent doctors out there who think medication is the only solution.
Nice so what do you eat on a daily basis?
I’ve just started a gluten free diet,hope it helps with all this
Same. It's been about 2 weeks for me and my chronic joint pain is completely gone.
As someone with celiac disease for the last 35 years, the only grain I eat now is rice. I gave up on "gluten free pasta" and "gluten free pizza" ages ago, possibly because I know what the real thing is and the gluten-free stuff is inferior and also rather expensive. Rice, on the other hand, is a very nice alternative, and I also eat a lot of hummus. People asked me how I can stand being gluten free, and I answer that when I was actually DYING from undiagnosed celiac disease, removing gluten from my diet seemed like a pretty good trade. When I cut gluten out of my diet, I gained 30 pounds in three months, and believe me, I needed to.
I have treatment resistant depression/anxiety and tried cutting out refined sugar and gluten and it did help reduce my symptoms alot only problem was I'm oddly addicted and fall into the same habit again and again. Another problem is that gluten free is more expensive.
Avoid any wheat product. Eat mexican homemade corn tortillas or indian bread made with lentils or chick peas. Today my husband bought me buckwheat flour to try a bread, just to see; I’ve notice that pasta made with this ancient grain made me feel so good. You can try patacones, so delicious, made with green plantain.
Loved this edit. Thank you.
Thank you Dr. Hyman for another great video.
This is a great video. Thanks, Mark!
Gluten Free starts today.
I know I was inflamed but blood tests and seeing specialists… ibuprofen and antibiotic helped the anxiety… now I am lethargic and depressed - supplements aren’t doing enough, I’m going gluten free!!!
Did it work?
@@i.ehrenfest349 like magic. I went keto, got much better. Then went carnivore for about 2 weeks or less and was completely healed.
This yt docu movie is great: ruclips.net/video/tiFpFl2H3Ak/видео.html it really goes in-depth about wheat
Did it help you?
Dr. Wm. Davis wrote the book on this a decade ago... Wheat Belly! New, revised version is great, too.
Very informative !!
Many thanks for this video! Depression is devastating but we can crush it!
Had tacos for dinner yesterday and woke up with anxiety and troubled stomach
Frequency and volume. (50 years ago) Although we didn't live in a very rural area, the stores closed at 7PM, or so. there were no mega-stores, no mall, no major shopping complexes. Frequently my mother told us "don't eat the bread, I need it to make lunches". Yes, bread didn't last for 3 weeks. and when we ran out, we were out until shopping day
How about buying buckwheat flour and NON instant yeast and make your own bread. If this doesn’t work, go corn tortillas o plantain
@@telviamonteza7420 5 kids, all in school my mother had no time
What about Pms?? What can we eat to improve that??
Maggie, pls take me as a new patient? 🥰🥺 I called the clinic and was told you no longer take new patients... 😞
What about gluten causing gallbladder problems!?!? I've read that anybody who's had their gallbladder out has a high chance of being gluten intolerant
usually gallbladder is more affected by seed oils/ rancid oils/ deep fried foods
I did read that gluten causes gall bladder problems!
@@REL602 my mom hasn't had bread in over thirty years still has her gallbladder
Ah ha! Nora Gedgaudas has told us about it for years. Primal Body Primal Mind
The mindfulness book "30 Days to Reduce Depression" by Harper Daniels is a great resource.
I am soooo sick of mindfulness….Lotta work, little payoff
Dr. Heyman, Pleaseeeeeee let your guests talk !!! I love your channel, but many of your subscribers complained about this as well. I hope you read the comments.
Man, gluten elimination is super impractical, like I do sandwiches and spreads all day, how can I replace that without gluten?
Eat a salad
@@martinaelise4 yeah do eat salad in the proper meals but do only one of those a day if any, simpler to take some leberwurst, ham or cheese on a cracker or slice of black bread.
@@khydo What do you cook, how many times a day and how long does it take you? also there exist a whole range between "all day" and "not once in 30-45 days".
You can make lentil pancakes, coconut pancakes, flaxseed bread, chickpea flour pancakes etc
Many alternatives to wheat.
It's hard to give up wheat, I know, but it's worth.
I love donuts and I haven't had one in 1 year.
But this diet cured my insomnia, thyroid, anxiety, adrenal fatigue, period pain etc
@@khydo yeah sure i do stews and soups and currys but like to eat liverwurst daily and many times its just practical to take a sandwich that takes 30 seconds preparation vs the at least 1 hour for the others.
Grain brain. It's sad that Harvard medical school has such a stained record.
for what
DID NOT HELP ME AT ALL.... Going a step further going keto also made it 100% worse.
Maybe you lack vitamins.
If you have anxiety, you are deficient in vitamin B1 and potassium.
@@Arrasel take both,I get a shot of by and I eat a lot of Avocados etc. Unless I'm not absorbing?
@@kdz6858 how much do you take?
I took 600 mg of B1 in anxiety.
Make sure it's HCL or benfotiamine.
Potassium.. only 3 types helped me: acetate, gluconate and monophosphate.
I tried citrate - it didn't help me.
Also, from all of the supplements, the most powerful for me is l-theanine.
I haven't tried kava or CBD oil. They're not available in my country.
Also omega 3 is super important.
You may have adrenal fatigue.
Much anxiety comes from that.
Check your iron levels (feritin) and take B12 - methylcobalamine.
Also check your thyroid.
I have Hashimoto.
Also blue zones eat grains and gluten...they have like zero ailments and live past 90-100 easy.. so what's in our grains and wheat? We have dwarf wheat, manipulated away from nature.... American scientists, should write a book ,"How to kill your citizens in 10 years or less".. poisoned hyperdized wheat and corn, is the equivalent of us taking steroids, now add in the glyphosate they spray on wheat and all the other assortments of yummy poison cocktails and you have a recipe for "all systems failure "....so it's what we did to the food, the crazy amounts we eat, and our ignorance and compliance.... its like we are dumb!! They've dumbed us down!!!! So we can accept all sorts of crap like robots..
@@kdz6858 You are right in everything you say. I am frustrated too.
At least in Europe we eat a little better but not much better.
We can only choose what we eat.
Today we don't eat the same wheat that ancient Egypt used to eat.
It's a different seed.
God didn't create this wheat to kill us.
We are becoming more and more intolerant to cereals.
