A Six Point Program to Reverse Postpartum Depression, Part 1
November 17, 2015
Postpartum depression is a serious problem that confronts a high percentage of new mothers. Pharmacological fixes offer only partial relief with the risk of serious side effects. Dr. Shoshana Bennett, Ph.D. is a psychologist who specializes in postpartum depression and pregnancy-related problems. She outlines a 6 point program to head off or reverse postpartum symptoms. It is comprised of lifestyle modification with diet, exercise, and optimal sleep, as well as sound mental hygiene principles. Supplements, too, may play a role in preventing or ameliorating postpartum depression, especially the Omega 3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA. How can you tell if you just have a normal case of short-term “postpartum blues,” or a full-blown case of postpartum depression? How can partners be part of the solution? How to eat strategically to ward off symptoms? What role do wildly fluctuating hormones play? How do Omega 3s offer dual benefits—to Mom, as well as her offspring? Click HERE for part 2.

The Dorito Effect, Part 1
November 16, 2015
Dr. Hoffman returns tomorrow with all-new episodes of Intelligent Medicine. Today, please enjoy this encore of the most downloaded Intelligent Medicine interview ever. Mark Schatzker talks about his book, "The Dorito Effect: The Surprising Truth About Food and Flavor." Why do modern tomatoes suffer from “nutritional brownout?” Why do today’s jumbo-sized “cardboard chickens” require so much in the way of hyped-up flavorings, fried breading and sauces to be palatable? How have food scientists hijacked our taste buds to produce addictive, high-calorie, non-nutritious foods? What is “McRegret"? In our current “obesogenic" food environment, can we still say that obesity is just a moral failing or a matter of gluttony? Naturally-tasty, unadulterated ingredients are the answer, but won’t all those artisanal, grass-fed, or heirloom foods be cost-prohibitive? Will we still be able to feed the planet with fresh, locally-grown, small-scale agricultural products? Mark Schatzker reveals how a food Renaissance is talking place, wherein consumers are demanding more flavorful, nutritious, unadulterated food; And, food producers are responding, with more tasty, natural alternatives to industrially-processed, factory-farmed foods; What can the average consumer do to “live long and eat flavorfully’? Can this approach help failed dieters recover their appetite equilibrium? Click HERE for part 2.
