88: What Cults Teach us About Fear, Diet and Decision Making. Plus, how Chronic Anxiety and Nutrient Deficiencies Create a Vicious Cycle

Has there been an increase in anxiety in the last few years (2020-2025)? Oh yes, indeed there has been. Like what you ask? Here are a few according to the American Psychiatric Association: corrupt government officials (65.2%), people they love becoming seriously ill (58.4%), cyberterrorism (58.3%), and the possibility of the U.S. becoming involved in another world war (55.0%) to name a few.   In this episode I dig into a curiosity I have had after watching cult documentaries and noticing what seems to be a common thread... diets that are all about deprivation. Is this really about food or diet/ways of eating?  Or is it about control? Join me as I ponder some connections and aim to provide some advice on how we can ensure we don't miss out on certain critical nutrients that will contribute to our health and wellbeing. Send us Fan Mail Click here to shop water filtration with us at Nature's Garden of Naples: https://ultrawatersolutions.com/?ref=naples1042 Support the showNOTE: This information contained is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease or health condition.
