The Real Reason Why I wrote the Tru Foods Depression Free guide (it may not be what you think)

The Real Reason why I Wrote the Tru Foods Nutrition Guide to a Depression Free Lifestyle

It may not be the reason you thought

(and what I just found out while writing this)

I was speaking with someone the other day and she said to me “So you wrote this because your son lost a friend recently to suicide, right?  What is it, like a 25 page dietary guide or something like that?”

I realized I had not clarified the purpose and mission of the book and what it really does cover.   

Why I wrote the book

I wrote is because of my own son.

 I wrote it because I almost lost him a month prior to his 16^th birthday.

 I wrote it because of the journey he and I traveled on.

 I wrote it because I still have my son and I want to prevent you from losing your child to suicide. 

I am only a nutritionist because of my son, because I needed to figure out how to help him because traditional western medicine was not looking at the root issues and instead only treating the symptom of depression. 

Along the way I found my passion, to help others in the same situation. To help others who are struggling or who see their loved ones struggle with depression.

 This is also to help those who keep their depression hidden from the world. 

I have stopped counting how many people we lost as a family to suicide. Who really wants to keep tract of that number anyhow. 

What I found out while writing this

Ironically just as I sat down to the computer my other son called me. One of his friends went to the hospital the other night.  It turns out he was admitted to inpatient for suicidal thoughts/attempt.  My son knew this but didn’t tell me at first, I guess because he knows I will stick my nose in and try to help. 

What is going on in our society, with our kids? Many have everything going for them.  These are the ones I address-there is no outward explanation for the depression. So we must look inward to health conditions. 

What the Tru Foods Nutrition Guide for a Depression Free Life is really about

I wrote this Tru Foods Nutrition Guide for a depression free life because I was working on my book on root causes for depression when this other” boy”, a senior in college, took his life.

This guide is not about what’s causing your depression (although I do address 10 possible root causes) but a guide to get you on the path to feeling better. NOW

It’s the guide I wish I had for my son so I could get him on track with the diet he needed to support his brain (and his gut). It guides you to the supplements and herbs that can be helpful. I never knew any of this when my son was struggling!

For $9.98 you get almost 200 pages of information.  I don’t short change you. I give you all I got in that book.  There is probably a lot of information in this book that you will not find elsewhere or have to really search to find it all.  I put it all in one place for you to help you.

So that’s why I write about depression.

Because of my son,

And because I still have him. 

And because I don’t want you to lose yours.
