Si l'impact de l'alimentation ultra-transformée sur notre santé n'était pas encore suffisamment clair, deux chercheuses en nutrition et santé mentale ont récemment publié un état des lieux quant au lien entre la malbouffe et les symptômes dépressifs. Le constat est sans appel : une alimentation pauvre en micro-nutriments déclenche un phénomène appelé « faim cérébrale », qui peut entrainer des difficultés à réguler ses émotions, mais aussi davantage de violence verbale et de manifestations de dépression.Un rapport clairement établi depuis plusieurs annéesEn 2021, deux autrices scientifiques, Bonnie Kaplan et Julia Rucklidge, publient un article dans le magazine Science Alert au sujet des conséquences qu'induit la consommation de malbouffe régulière sur la santé mentale. Elles ne sont pas les premières à souligner le rapport de cause à effet. Des dizaines d'études s'y sont intéressées et montrent que les personnes qui suivent un régime de type méditerranéen, avec une grande proportion de végétaux, sont en meilleure santé mentale que les personnes qui ont une alimentation moins équilibrée.Mieux, certaines expériences révèlent que des personnes atteintes de dépression guérissent plus souvent lorsqu'elles associent leur traitement avec un régime alimentaire sain que lorsqu'elles se contentent de prendre des médicaments. Le taux de rémission passe alors de moins de 1 sur 10 pour celles qui conservent de mauvaises habitudes nutritionnelles à 1 sur 3 chez celles qui adoptent une bonne alimentation.Pourquoi la malbouffe favorise la dépression et l'anxiété ?Plusieurs pistes sont évoquées afin d'expliquer le lien entre malbouffe et dépression. D'abord, la nourriture industrielle ultra-transformée est très pauvre en micro-nutriments. Or le cerveau a besoin d'une variété d'une trentaine de ces éléments pour fonctionner correctement. En état de « faim cérébrale », l'organisme présente des dysfonctionnements et va par exemple éprouver des difficultés à résoudre les problèmes quotidiens, occasionnant stress et idées noires.Ensuite, la consommation à outrance de nourriture riche en sucre, en sel et en gras produit une inflammation systémique de l'organisme. Dans un tel état, le cerveau reçoit des molécules pro-inflammatoires qui interfèrent avec le fonctionnement normal des neurotransmetteurs. Parmi ceux-là, certaines molécules participent à la régulation de l'humeur. L'inflammation systémique aboutit donc à une moins bonne gestion des variations émotionnelles, qui peut induire l'apparition d'anxiété et de troubles dépressifs.Enfin, alors que les acides gras consommés dans le cadre d'un régime méditerranéen sont bénéfiques au cerveau, les acides gras trans et saturés omniprésents dans la malbouffe s'avèrent très mauvais pour la santé. Leur consommation est associée à une baisse générale de la fonction cognitive, et plus précisément de la mémoire. Quand on sait que le déclin cognitif œuvre en faveur de la dépression, le lien entre malbouffe et troubles dépressifs n'en est que conforté. Hébergé par Acast.

Dr. Bonnie Kaplan, Author of The Better Brain says that consumption of ultra processed foods is leading to a mental health crisis. She provides solutions that can lead to the optimum functioning of the brain

Dr. Bonnie Kaplan is an emeritus professor in the Cumming School of Medicine at the University of Calgary in Alberta, Canada. She is a research psychologist who has published widely on the biochemical etiologies of developmental disorders and mental health. She studied at Brandeis University, University of Chicago and Butler University. Her focus is the contribution of nutrition to brain development and brain activity. Dr. Kaplan is the recipient of the Dr. Rogers prize for excellence in complementary and alternative medicine. This week we sit down to discuss her research, her book, The Better Brain and the science of mental health. Her book is a treatise in how to overcome Anxiety, combat Depression and reduce ADHD and stress with nutrition. I hope that you enjoy my conversation with Dr. Kaplan, Dr. M

In this episode, I am speaking with research scientist Dr. Bonnie Kaplan, Ph.D. She's a professor emeritus in the Cumming School of Medicine at the University of Calgary in Canada and published widely on the biological basis of developmental disorders and mental health, particularly the contribution of nutrition to mental health problems, poor nutrition to mental health problems, and good nutrition to resolving mental health problems. She's also the co-author of the book, The Better Brain.

After retiring from full-time academic research in 2016, she turned her attention to raising the profile of nutrition in mental health in two ways: a) by focusing on Knowledge Translation, and b) by raising funds to help her junior colleagues who have not yet been able to convince funding agencies that this is an important topic. Her efforts to include nutrition knowledge in the care of people with mental health challenges has earned her a variety of awards, including the Dr. Rogers Prize in September 2019; and selection in 2017 as one of 150 Canadian Difference Makers in Mental Health, in honour of Canada's 150th birthday. In 2021 she was chosen as one of the top “7 Over 70” in Calgary, partly for her book The Better Brain, written with Professor Julia Rucklidge and published by Harper Collins as well as Penguin Random House. The award also was acknowledgement of her establishment of two charitable funds supporting research by junior colleagues who study nutrition and mental health. Those funds have now raised and distributed over $1 million CAD. Her primary goal is to influence the way mental health treatment is delivered. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tango-romeo/message

A large number of studies show that a healthy diet is as important to physical health as it is to mental health. Knowing that, can a healthy diet help combat depression, anxiety and other mental health conditions? In this episode Susan is joined by Dr. Bonnie J Kaplan, co-author of “The Better Brain” and semi-retired research psychologist and Professor at the University of Calgary, to discuss the role of nutrition in mental health. You will hear about the role of nutrients in brain metabolism, how consuming a healthy diet can help combat mental health conditions, what ultra-processed foods do to our brains and bodies, and how to shift away from them and eat more whole foods..  Learn more about Dr. Kaplan: bonniejkaplan.com Listen to other podcast episodes:ccphp.net/a-sense-of-wellness-podcasts

In this lively and informative interview, Professor Bonnie Kaplan and Professor Julia Rucklidge, co-authors of The Better Brain, discuss the vital role of nutrition in mental health, the importance of diet and the right kind of supplementation (spoiler alert: the right type and combination of supplements is crucial). Prof. Bonnie Kaplan, winner of the Rogers Prize for Excellence in Complementary & Alternative Medicine, is a research psychologist at the University of Calgary's Cumming School of Medicine. Prof. Julia Rucklidge, director of the Mental Health and Nutrition Research Lab, is a clinical psychologist at the University of Canterbury. Both are experts in the impact of nutrition on the brain and mental health, and have led groundbreaking research supported by rigorous clinical trials.  In this dynamic conversation, they explain why poor nutrition can negatively impact mental health, showing how nutrition affects brain metabolism (the brain is known as the hungriest organ, consuming up to 40% of our nutrients) and why the right combination of micronutrients is vital for good mental health. They reveal the surprising role that combined nutrients play in brain health, and how anxiety, depression, ADHD and stress can be simply and successfully overcome through what we eat and how we supplement.

Ep 368 - Your Brain on Fruits and Veggies Guest: Dr Bonnie Kaplan   Imagine, if you will, a wonder treatment that can help you overcome anxiety, combat depression, reduce ADHD and stress. “What a blessing that would be!” says Dr. Bonnie J. Kaplan, a research psychologist and co-author of “The Better Brain.” Kaplan goes on to say, “There is a paradigm-shifting approach to treating mental disorders with food and nutrients.”   For Kaplan, that approach is a broad spectrum one – an approach that was contrary to the magic bullet approach to medicine. She says, “When we learned about nutrition, it was one nutrient, one disorder… That's not the way the brain works. Your brain needs all 30 micronutrients: a mix of vitamins and minerals.”   At the turn of the century, her research was met with skepticism and outright rejection. In fact, she was shut down. “Health Canada shut down my research,” says Kaplan. “The Director General of Health Canada told me to stop my clinical trial and return all the patients to their psychiatrist and get them back on medication.”   Naturally, no one would fund her research because, as she was told, “vitamins and minerals are of trivial importance to your mental health.” Then in 2009, she led a team of 12 scientists to determine the relationships between maternal nutrients before, during, and after gestation on maternal mood, birth outcome, and infant neurodevelopment. In 2013, Dr. Kaplan became a founding member of the International Society of Nutritional Psychiatry Research, an organization that emphasizes the importance of nutrition “above the neck.”   In 2019, Dr. Kaplan was awarded $250,000 by the Dr. Rogers Prize for Excellence in Complementary and Alternative Medicine – money that she has added to the more than $750,000 she has committed to fund ongoing research through two donor-advised charitable funds, one in Canada and one in the United States.    We invited Dr Bonnie Kaplan, the co-author of “The Better Brain,” to join us for a Conversation That Matters about the broad spectrum approach to a healthy and better brain.   Please become a Patreon subscriber and support the production of this program, with a $1 pledge https://goo.gl/ypXyDs 

Dr. Bonnie J. Kaplan is a research psychologist, and Professor in the University of Calgary's Cumming School of Medicine. For many years she studied the role of nutrition in mental illness and brain development. Now, in retirement, her passion is to teach people how our diet influences our brain and mental health. She has written a book with Julia J. Rucklidge called ‘Better Brain: Overcome Anxiety, Combat Depression and Reduce ADHD and Stress with Nutrition'. This is a paradigm-shifting approach in using food and nutrients for treating mental disorders like anxiety, depression, and ADHD and they share their original, ground-breaking research with readers everywhere for the first time. On today's podcast Nicolette and Dr. Kaplan discus the link between the brain and nutrition and how micronutrients are the foundation for brain metabolism. We need to teach adults and kids that real food can make cells grow, develop and function which can resolve the symptoms in mental disorders. Brain and gut health are related and the best thing you can do for your brain is look after your gut microbiome. They also bring up the topic of money and people thinking they can't afford to eat well. Bonnie talks about the studies done by supplementing your diet with complex micronutrient pills and how effective it can be. “The brain needs the whole spectrum of everything you can give it in balance”.

A lump in the throat is a classic GP presentation, but one that often causes a lot of worry. Many people are struggling with high levels of anxiety anyway at the moment, and this may manifest physical symptoms, such as fatigue, insomnia and dysphagia. In this week's episode, we discuss how to differentiate between causes of a lump in the throat: is my patient experiencing laryngopharyngeal reflux, or could it be cancer? How do we reassure distressed patients when we need to refer them on for imaging, or a consultation with a specialist, before we can rule out a malignant cause? We also talk about how to manage a patient who has difficulty swallowing pills, and the challenges of getting children, in particular, to take medication. Our guests: Nick Hamilton is a clinical lecturer in otorhinolaryngology at UCL, and also works as a specialist registrar in otorhinolaryngology head and neck surgery at North Thames Deanery, London. Deonne Dersch-Mills is the clinical practice leader for pharmacy for paediatrics & neonatology with Alberta Health Services. She is based at Alberta Children's Hospital, Calgary. Bonnie J. Kaplan is a semi-retired research psychologist, and professor emerita from the Cumming School of Medicine, Calgary.
