your diet is destroying your mental health - #023
from Finding Solace · host Solace
Eating “whatever” is quietly wrecking your mood, energy, sleep, and focus, and a lot of what we call mental health issues are made worse by the way we eat. In this episode, I walk through how ultra-processed foods drive inflammation and depression risk, and why getting more real protein, healthy fats, fiber, and key micronutrients can make you feel like a different person over time.I break down the basics in plain language: how much protein you probably need, why omega-3s and better fats matter, why fiber is insanely underrated, and which vitamins and minerals most people are missing without realizing it. From there, I keep it practical with small, sustainable changes like fixing just one meal a day, upgrading your cooking oils, adding one high-fiber food each meal, and using simple habit tracking to actually stick with it so healthy eating stops feeling confusing and starts feeling obvious.---Check out my habit tracking app:https://feelwrite.app/Enjoy the show?
