<div class="bbWrapper">So I don&#039;t know how to start this post but something on here reminded me of one of the most powerful books I ever read. There was a thread on here called &quot;<i>What Book (Besides TMF And Unscripted) Was Your Game Change?</i>&quot; that I replied to, and the response reminded me of how powerful this one book is.<br /> <br /> The reply I got was:<br /> <br /> <blockquote data-attributes="member: 65100" data-quote="guaava23" data-source="post: 795167" class="bbCodeBlock bbCodeBlock--expandable bbCodeBlock--quote js-expandWatch"> <div class="bbCodeBlock-title"> <a href="/community/goto/post?id=795167" class="bbCodeBlock-sourceJump" rel="nofollow" data-xf-click="attribution" data-content-selector="#post-795167">guaava23 said:</a> </div> <div class="bbCodeBlock-content"> <div class="bbCodeBlock-expandContent js-expandContent "> I am more than half way through Mood Cure, and thanks so much. I knew it resonated for some reason. It&#039;s changed me in so many ways. I already ate well so I probably exceed what they talk about in Mood foods, but the other supplements especially the Aminos, DLPA, Tyrosine are magical and I have fixed things that I had been reading books to see what was wrong with me. I am so full of energy and my mind is racing and motivated each day.

I was severely depressed for like 10 years despite everything in my life going pretty well. Desperate for an answer I dug into all types of Self Help books I could get my hands on. I worked with a meditation teacher for like 6 months which helped a little, but the depression was still pretty severe. At some point I got got really pissed off and started digging into the research myself. Stuff about mood chemicals like Serotonin, Dopamine, Norepinephrine, Endorphin, GABA, and it was clear I had issues with some of these. Problem was, the only solution seemed to be prescription medication. Well... I didn’t want to be on prescription meds. So after 3 months of piecing everything together I came to the conclusion that I could alter my neurochemicals with different supplements. For example L-Tryptophan (that <a href="https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/members/26072/" class="username" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" data-user-id="26072" data-username="@Walter Hay">@Walter Hay</a> mentioned in a nether thread) is the precursor to serotonin.<br /> <br /> <br /> <blockquote data-attributes="member: 26072" data-quote="Walter Hay" data-source="post: 798258" class="bbCodeBlock bbCodeBlock--expandable bbCodeBlock--quote js-expandWatch"> <div class="bbCodeBlock-title"> <a href="/community/goto/post?id=798258" class="bbCodeBlock-sourceJump" rel="nofollow" data-xf-click="attribution" data-content-selector="#post-798258">Walter Hay said:</a> </div> <div class="bbCodeBlock-content"> <div class="bbCodeBlock-expandContent js-expandContent "> This suggests that you are probably aware that turkey meat contains high levels of the amino acid L-Tryptophan, which is a good anti-depressant for circumstantial depression -- the type that is predominately the kind of depression suffered by entrepreneurs. The problem is that you would have to eat almost a whole turkey to get a therapeutic dose. I will write more on antidepressants later in this post.<br /> It becomes a vicious circle, which is why depression should not be ignored.<br /> <br /> As a counselor within my church, I have helped a lot of people suffering from either circumstantial depression or clinical depression, with a large number of cases sufferering from Bipolar Disorder.<br /> <br /> For circumstantial depression, L-Tryptophan can be very effective with adequate doses, which would generally be 500mg just before bed. Taking more at bedtime can lead to having hallucinations. If depression continues, another 500mg in the morning won&#039;t cause hallucinations.<br /> <br /> I prefer to recommend 5Hydroxytryptophan, which bypasses the digestive processes and is directly taken up in the brain. Dose is usually 100mg. </div> <div class="bbCodeBlock-expandLink js-expandLink"><a role="button" tabindex="0">Click to expand...</a></div> </div> </blockquote><br /> <br /> <a href="https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/attachments/1564169726408-webp.26091/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/data/attachments/22/22720-c0707bc4232c2399980c99fa90a3dd72.jpg?hash=sXdMpspDSK" class="bbImage " style="" alt="26091" title="26091" width="200" height="251" loading="lazy" /></a><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> A number of studies showed that Tryptophan (or 5-HTP) supplementation could boost neural Serotonin levels. Tyrosine boosts Dopamine, and some other things. Probably 3 days after taking the Tryptophan (along with some Omega 3 Oils) the depression lifted completely. And permanently. Could it have been a freaking nutrition problem all along?! Well that’s exactly what it was. I was neglecting certain macronutrient categories, simple as that.<br /> <br /> Somewhere in my journey, I came across this book The Mood Cure, and it’s the book I wish I had before I spent 3 months experimenting and piecing this all crap together. The book is the most concise and comprehensive volume I’ve ever read about how nutrition relates to mood and what you can do to improve performance.<br /> <br /> The problem is also that modern agriculture depletes nutrients from soil and leads to your food having less that adequate amounts of certain nutrients. Tryptophan is especially a problem because most animals are fed a diet meant to cheaply fatten them up without proper regard for their nutrition. For instance most beef found in your typical supermarket is grain-fed, rather than grass-fed, which is obviously the proper diet for a cow. All these things add up to a perfect storm of malnutrition, so you have to be very careful about what you eat. Anyway, the book gets into detail about all this stuff, so read it. It’s totally worth it, even if you don’t have mood issues.<br /> <br /> I literally used to buy stacks of this book and just give them out to people who were having issues.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <div class="bbCodeBlock bbCodeBlock--unfurl js-unfurl fauxBlockLink" data-unfurl="true" data-result-id="2359" data-url="https://www.juliarosscures.com/mood-type-questionnaire/" data-host="www.juliarosscures.com" data-pending="false"> <div class="contentRow"> <div class="contentRow-main"> <h3 class="contentRow-header js-unfurl-title"> <a href="https://www.juliarosscures.com/mood-type-questionnaire/" class="link link--external fauxBlockLink-blockLink" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-proxy-href=""> The Mood Type Questionnaire | Julia Ross&#039; Cures </a> </h3> <div class="contentRow-snippet js-unfurl-desc">Identify the causes of your own negative emotions by selecting any of the symptoms on the questionnaire that apply to you.</div> <div class="contentRow-minor contentRow-minor--hideLinks"> <span class="js-unfurl-favicon"> <img src="/community/proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.juliarosscures.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fjulia_menu_icon.png&amp;hash=4cc30cbf23342348a0a5898571f04543&amp;return_error=1" loading="lazy" alt="www.juliarosscures.com" class="bbCodeBlockUnfurl-icon" data-onerror="hide-parent"/> </span> www.juliarosscures.com </div> </div> </div> </div></div>

If your diet is really good and have done heavy supplement experimentation, you may or may not benefit. I suggest seeing how you score on the questionnaire. Also some of her science is a bit sketchy.

Most studies find it doesn&#039;t cross the Blood Brain Barrier in sufficient quantities to have a lot of effectiveness. I used to recommend Picamilon, which is GABA + Vitamin B, which does cross the BBB, and used to be a Russian prescription drug. It used to be available as a supplement in the US, but they banned it because it technically wasn&#039;t a dietary supplement, which imo was BS because there&#039;s no evidence it&#039;s unsafe.</div>

Since most people don&#039;t eat properly or supplement with anything, it for sure can help a ton of people. Taking a multi vitamin, fish oil, and Vitamin D everyday for a month will help anyone feel better, guaranteed.<br /> <br /> I used to experiment with L-Tyrosine and overall felt like it didn&#039;t do anything to me. But when I gave the remainder of my Tyrosine to my old roommate, who was prescribed Ritalin for his ADHD (but hated taking it) he just loved it. I remember he was much happier and told me he felt like he was in the flow of doing things again, which I was pumped about for him. He still takes tyrosine to this day.<br /> <br /> Sleep is also huge, so to top off her suggestions in the book to take melatonin and 5htp, I&#039;d say doing things like using a blue light blocker on your phone, F.lux on your laptop, and keeping your room cold all are very helpful.</div>

I just have to say that I am pretty meticulous about my diet, and found mystery issues with my focus and energy throughout the day, which I first really noticed when I would be done in a tennis match this year repeatedly and have to retire. The amino&#039;s all got me back in 2 weeks to my tennis shape and better.<br /> <br /> I also didn&#039;t go to Europe last year, and it was the first time in about 10 years or so I haven&#039;t. I think as ChrisV said, the foods aren&#039;t as nutrient rich anymore, especially in the US. I can tell a huge difference when I go and eat in France, Italy, Romania, Spain, and Greece. Everything tastes better, and I feel a different kind of fulfilled from eating food there.<br /> <br /> I also agree, you don&#039;t need all of the info in the mood cure. I think it might be extra beneficial for someone with mild depression or a drug habit they are trying to kick. There is some good info there.<br /> <br /> I did get an extra side benefit that I didn&#039;t know I was a bit &#039;Blah&#039; and that was lifted and motivation came with a bang after 2 weeks of Tyrosine and DLPA. I didn&#039;t need all the information, but it gave me what I was missing.<br /> <br /> Thanks again ChrisV for the recommendation.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Just ordered it. Thank you Chris!</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">I have heard of the mood cure being a good book. Also the ultramind solution is a similar book that people rave about. I should read and implement them both asap.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">I just wanted to reiterate here. While this book is great, Julia Ross is largely scientifically illiterate. The supplements are good, and some of her claims are correct, but many aren&#039;t. The important stuff is correct, just don&#039;t go citing stuff she says in biology classes. You&#039;ll look like a retard. That said, it&#039;s a very good book and can help your life tremendously.</div>
