Conquer Depression for PENNIES a Day!

Dear Living Well Daily Reader,
Listen, we all feel sad sometimes in our lives.
But for some of us, depression is like a dark fog that never seems to lift.
Depression is practically an epidemic in America today – and Big Pharma is making a fortune selling dangerous antidepressant pills that can actually make your problem worse.
But imagine if there was a simple solution to depression. One that cost next to nothing and helped you feel better right away.
Believe it or not, this solution exists – but you’ll never hear about it from your typical mainstream doctor.
After years of studying the body, I’m convinced that our bodies are starved for basic nutrients.
It is this lack of nutrients that causes disease… especially depression.
Case in point?
A recent study by the University of Vermont’s Larner College of Medicine showed that 248 mg of magnesium per day leads to a complete reversal of depression symptoms.
Think about that: simple magnesium beat out all the chemical drugs AND without any of the side effects.
Depression responds beautifully to natural medicine. But don’t stop at just magnesium. There is a lot that you can do to help yourself.
Fixing depression takes some time, but you can do it.
Dr. Scott’s Beat Depression Protocol:
- Magnesium: Start with the easiest thing first. I recommend taking 400 mg of magnesium a day (more than the study showed was effective). Magnesium is also good for your heart, your brain, and your muscles.
- Fish Oil: Your brain needs good oils in order to function well and fish oil is your best bet.
- Stop Inflammation: Your brain is especially susceptible to inflammation and high inflammation can cause depression. I like curcumin and bacopa to support good brain health.
- Get good sleep: This can be hard sometimes, but If you need help, look to melatonin, theanine, and calming herbs to help you.
- Exercise: I know when you are feeling low it is hard to get out and do something like exercise. But simple exercise is scientifically proven to ease depression.
When you are depressed, your brain needs your help. Feed it the nutrients it needs.
You will be surprised at how easy it is to get your mood back on the right track.
Health and Happiness,
Dr. Scott Olson, ND
