Lose the Blues, presented by Dr. Bauman, will explain the nutritional needs of people struggling with mental health issues such as depression, anxiety and insomnia. This lecture will focus on specific foods, herbs and nutrients that stabilize mood, enhance energy and clear a cloudy mind. Special attention will be paid to immune involvement in mood disorders and the nutrient deficiencies caused by antidepressant medication.

Depression rates have tripled in the past 15 years. Drugs such as Prozac, Paxil and Zoloft have become the foundation of treatment for depression and related disorders. Psychotherapy and extended counseling have waned (JAMA, Jan. 2002). The medical model has ignored diet, nutrition and lifestyle factors that can minimize both drug dependence and unpleasant side effects.
Just as Dean Ornish, MD demonstrated that a holistic program could reverse coronary artery disease, Lose the Blues offers a diet plan with targeted nutrients to rejuvenate exhausted organs and glands to support recovery, positive emotion and well-being.
Ed Bauman, Ph.D., is the director of Bauman College Holistic Nutrition and Culinary Arts, with campuses in Berkeley, Penngrove, and Santa Cruz, California. He has been a ground breaking leader and author in the field of whole food nutrition for the past 30 years.
