Last month, researchers in New Zealand and the United States published a study in the Journal of Child and Adolescent Psychopharmacology that shows great promise in using nutrition to reduce ADHD symptoms in children.
Researchers recently published an article in International Journal of Science and Research that recommended these 5 natural ways for dealing with sleep disorders.
An Australian researcher recently published an article in the Journal of the Home Economics Institute of Australia pointing out, once again, the strong connection between nutrition and mental health.
Dietary nutrients are critical for brain structure and function, so they have a potentially profound impact on mental health. An increasingly robust body of research points to the detrimental effect of unhealthy diets and nutrient deficiencies, and to the protective value of healthy diets – along with select nutritional supplements as required – for maintaining and promoting mental health.
Did you know that one of the reasons it’s difficult to perform research on products like Truehope’s EMPowerplus is that because granting agencies across the board don’t fund multinutrient research?
A few years ago, Indian researchers at JSS Medical College and Central Food Technological Research Institute published an article in the Indian Journal of Psychiatry outlining the connection between nutrition and depression.
The researchers highlighted that while the general public accept the connection between nutrition and physical health, ignorance still abounds when connecting nutrition and mental health.
However, nutrition plays a key role in the onset, severity, and duration of depression. In fact, as the researchers wrote,
Earlier this year, Canadian and American researchers published a study in Journal of Medical Case Reports showing positive effects of EMPowerplus on children with behavioural problems.

Earlier this year, Chinese researchers published an article in the academic journal Nutrition indicating that there may be a connection between fruit and vegetable consumption and low depression risk.
The researchers analyzed a total of 18 studies involving nearly 450,000 participants, measuring fruit and vegetable intake against depression occurrence. What they discovered was an inverse association between eating fruits and vegetables and depression risk. In other words, the more fruits and vegetables people at, the less likely they seemed to have depression.
Over the last few years, researchers have become more open to the idea that diet and mental health are inextricably linked. Several studies have demonstrated that connection.
One common thread among these studies is the importance of whole foods—such as fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and fish—in one’s diet. This makes sense since whole foods (especially in substantial quantities and varieties) are richer in the vitamins and minerals needed for proper brain function. As compared to junk food, which is deficient in many of the nutrients
Here are 6 studies that specifically connect fresh fruits and vegetables (as well as a few other healthy foods) with positive mental health,
Australian researchers recently published an article in The Journal of Sports Medicine and Physical Fitness, showing a connection between physical activity levels and depression.
Researchers studied 109 participants who had been treated for depression, anxiety, or both and had been referred to a lifestyle intervention program. Each participant completed the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale and the Active Australia Survey, and researchers compared their fitness scores with those of the general population.
Dr. Bonnie Kaplan, a behavioural psychologist at the University of Calgary, was one of the first researchers to study EMPowerplus. Her ground-breaking work sparked interest in scientists from around the world to participate in further EMPowerplus research.
Dr. Kaplan told the story of how she was introduced to Truehope and EMPowerplus when she testified as an expert witness in Truehope’s 2006 court victory over Health Canada. Here are a few excerpts from her court testimony:
Dr. Julia Rucklidge, Director of the University of Canterbury’s Clinical Psychology Programme and leader of the university’s Mental Health and Nutrition Research Group, was recently interviewed by the New Zealand Listener regarding the role of nutrition in mental health.
At the start of the interview, Dr. Rucklidge lamented the fact that despite decades of the conventional practise of medicating people for mental health challenges, we seem to be no further ahead:
