Course overview
Lesson Overview

13.33 – Nutrition and Mood Regulation: What you eat directly influences how you feel, think, and recover from depression. A balanced diet supports brain chemicals that regulate mood, such as serotonin and dopamine. Skipping meals or eating too much processed food can make fatigue and sadness worse. Whole foods like fruits, vegetables, grains, and proteins help stabilize energy throughout the day. Omega-3s from fish or flaxseed nourish the brain and may reduce symptoms. Hydration matters too—dehydration can mimic feelings of exhaustion and irritability. Eating regularly reminds the body it is cared for, which sends comfort to the nervous system. Planning simple meals reduces decision fatigue that depression can amplify. Cooking or sharing food with others also strengthens connection and purpose. Nutrition doesn’t cure depression alone, but it supports every other part of healing. Each healthy choice rebuilds both physical and emotional foundation. Food becomes medicine when used mindfully, creating stability where chaos once lived. Nourishing yourself is not vanity—it’s survival disguised as self-kindness.
