Lol 1 2 and 6 are the same 3 and 5 are the same and alcohol being high in sugar you can throw that in with 3 and 5 and chocolate has sugar and caffeine. Last garlic and onions. So basically 3 things not 8 🙄
I used to eat aloooot of sugar . And suddenly I hate crazy anxiety and depression. Meds helped but not completely. Then one day I decided to try to cut sugar and man has it helped
Your insights re the biochemical causes of anxiety are so much more on target than those videos which focus on "facing your fears." My experience has been that the biochemical and medical causes of anxiety should first be fully investigated before even considering psychological remedies.
Completely agree with 1-7, which all contain either sugar, caffeine, alcohol or a combination. But I don't think onions and garlic are bad for most people. They contain a lot of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. I guess it's more a question of preparation or digestibility since for example many people have problems when digesting raw onions.
Actually what causes anxiety is inflammation in the brain so eating inflammatory foods like too much omega 6 and not enough omega 3, most foods are cooked with cheap vegetable oils that increase anxiety but even foods such as peanuts, sunflower seeds, margarine, eggs, almonds, seeds and soy if u consume too much of it without eating omega 3 like seafood, u can develop anxiety. Other foods that can cause anxiety - nightshades such as potatoes, tomatoes and eggplant - pickles - cured meats - aged cheese - dark chocolate - energy drinks - coffee - chips - foods high in saturated fat such as red meat, bacon, cheese, eggs, chocolate, biscuits, cakes, pastries pies and dairy - dairy products can be inflammatory
Wow, this was on point with everything. Loved the video. Had no idea about Onions and Garlic, but it makes sense because Sages who eat Satvik diets in India don't eat onions and garlic. I'm gonna give all of this a try. Thank You!
Thankyou dear 4 hours ago I had coffee and I knew it was little risky but I never knew it's no 1 anxiety causing food. Suddenly negative and unwanted question started tinkling my brain and I started feeling empty at the back of head.I knew it was anxiety attack.And I somehow recovered from it after taking a pill and watching some motivational video to avoid unwanted thoughts and question that rise in the brain due to that anxiety condition.
I made a huge mistake and had two VERY strong cups of coffee and now I feel like I’m about to lose it 😂 Gladly I knew exactly what it was, and that it will pass. Just wanted to know if I was the only one.
@@aloksingh-yp3gc ask Dr. Janelle, she says that you need 3-4 portions of red meat a week (each of 1 gram per 1 kg of your weight). It's because of B vitamins and proteins.
This video is so important to so many people! I didnt know about sweets, chocolate- and sodas being even worse. Onions and garlic are ok for me. For me any type of red meat is a terrible trigger. Beef, pork or lamb and even salmon! But not chicken, eggs, cheese or white fish - as far as I have seen.
I notice huge difference when I quit sugar and alcohol I not realize re onions I am a bit disappointed to hear u say lentils and beans as I’m vegan and need them so I won’t stop those and don’t actually think they make me anxious What else do I have for protein if vegan ? The coffee u are so right but I just can’t quit yet I am down to one weak one in the morning and yoga and exercise etc It’s so worth kicking all these foods and drinks thank u plus positive thinking
I understand your point regarding caffeine Dr. Sinclair but when you suffer from anxiety/depression it's tough. Your exhausted due to these conditions & the medications you take with them that usually are sedating. The majority wake up tired, exhausted throughout the day. Is caffeine not good for depressed mood? Love to hear from you! :)
One man's meat is another man's poison. Though these foods bring lots of fun to many people, they also cause huge trouble (anxiety) to another group of unfortunate people. For me, I have experienced anxiety (and migraine) from all these foods. So this is a very informative and helpful video. Thanks a lot to Dr. Janelle!
I had no idea chocolate contained caffeine until now. 😮 I don’t drink alcohol, tea or soda. I started cutting out caffeine a few weeks ago but not completely. So I’m going to completely cut out everything for the next three weeks and see if it helps my anxiety. Will update this comment after 3 weeks with my results. 😃 👍🏼
I also think salty foods is a big one when it comes to anxiety. Salt laden foods, especially cheese pickles sausages and cured meats that are fermented increase stress and anxiety because sodium increase the amount of adrenaline and norepinephrine the body produces like caffeine does. But also high omega 6 intake like vegetable oils, peanuts, junk food, certain nuts and seeds massively increase anxiety because of the inflammation it can cause. And also consuming too much saturated fat and sugar can raise cortisol and stress levels so be careful not to eat too much meat and deserts

I love how people are always like "hey if you have anxiety stop drinking coffee" not realizing that caffeine withdrawal can cause even worse anxiety attacks, not to mention caffeine withdrawal can last longer than 2 weeks, some people report not feeling normal for months.
Searching cures to anxiety and panic attacks I get anxiety. I have already list of over twenty vitamins, adaptogens, minerals and procuts and all that I want is one. But I thnk II've made my decisision it's magnesium before bed and in the morning.
Noooooooooo, I love onion and garlic 😭😭😭. I don't know what type of anxiety I have... It may just be social-anxiety. I don't think onion and garlic would be too much of a big deal for me. However, I know: coffee, chocolate, sweets, fizzy; all have an impact on me. Thanks for the helpful information.
Caffeine is one to cut to zero or one. I usually forget and start drinking more soda around lunch time, then someone buys me regular coffee for Christmas and I'm drinking too much again. Time to cut it out.
Hi doctor I am very happy finding your channel my 14 year old girl fighting with depression and I don't know what to do she is on anti depressants tables already almost six months please help
Hi Dr. Janella. Thank you for those great advice. I do have aniexty and depression. I tried taking Wellbutrin but I had a bad reaction. I did stop drinking coffee ☕️ for good. So I bought a stress b-complex vitamins. So I hope it helps me. Thank you again
I find that chocolate especaily dark chocolate actually help my anxienty. I remeber seeing something that chocolate helps stimulste the pleasure center
I went out of my way to eat dark chocolate for the magnesium (great against anxiety and the promotion of good sleep, among countless other benefits) and now I always keep it around, a few organic 90% bars.

I never suspected onions & garlic to be offending foods. Thank you for this very informative list. Just want to share I have found that coconut oil in some people causes very bad anxiety symptoms due to the fatty chain that is sometimes hard to process in the brain. Many people don’t know about this and I find it is in a lot of foods. Just because something is natural doesn’t mean it’s healthy for all.
Sorry, with all due respect, I am skeptical about the onions and garlic. Both are high in tryptophan - precursor to serotonin. The fiber is a prebiotic that resulted in higher levels of Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus in the gut, friendly bacteria, from a study in the American Journal of clinical nutrition. Plus garlic wards of vampires so you have one less thing to worry about. Would like to see your reference to learn more.
Onions and garlic are a fodmap food. For some people high fodmap foods can cause anxiety through feeding "bad" bacteria in the gut. Onion and garlic are wonderful foods but it's included to get people thinking about gut health and anxiety
I drink a lot of coffee , now going to stop and lower my intake. I was feeling real nervous , anxious, nauseous and heart rate felt like it was fluctuating. Is this anxiety Dr? I also have an appointment with my physician soon just to see. Also are there any vitamins that may cause anxiety because I do take vitamins also I work night shift so does sleep deprivation cause anxiety? Thank you
What a killjoy!! Oh well. Now that you mention it, I don't feel anxiety as bad as I used to. I haven't been drinking booze at all lately. I haven't been drunk for a year! I got covid back in March 2020 and still struggle with some remaining problems. Booze definitely doesn't help with that, so I quit altogether. I never thought I could actually do it. I feel really gross after eating dark chocolate, I do not believe that it's "healthy" at all. Same goes for raw cacao! I loooove coffee and teeeeeeeea! This week I started experimenting with using L-theanine with coffee or tea as well as rhodiola. So far it seems to remove the jittery side of coffee high. It leaves a pleasant alertness.
I don't have a problem with reducing most of those. The one sticking point for me would be garlic. I take a garlic supplement for heart health as I have hereditary cholesterolemia, and that is an important factor for cholesterol regulation.
OMG, how will I do without coffee…to me it’s a treat in the morning and after lunch. It all makes sense, but it’s a difficult task and a habit to get rid of. Any advice for substitution?
Start drinking it black ! Iam on this once again an praying break habit by the end week I keep going back an fourth I am sick of it! I just got pray now I stop for about month an half how ever pick up coffee again an smoking after 3 years ! I pray I kick the habit soon
I’ve had the same problem. Basically when your high on weed or edibles it can make you paranoid and trigger anxiety especially if you have anxiety problems. Alcohol can do the same I’ve had a moment where I stopped breathing while drunk but it was because I forgot to breathe due to having a panic attack while drunk. I can’t really explain the diary one. But don’t panic if your drinking or smoking weed drink water to help.
Try the Indica strains!!! They might help with anxiety and panic attacks. Sativas can definitely cause anxiety!!! And, panic attacks!!! I had to switch over to mostly Indicas, myself, because I was getting too jacked up and jittery with the Sativas. White Widow works good for me!!!
Thanks, Dr Janelle. Very helpful! What are your views on decaffeinated green tea? I also read cardamon or St John's Wort can neutralise the effects of caffeine. And that grapefruit prolongs the caffeine's effects. I'd love to hear your views on this!
@@MyTPITTMAN use half decaf and half normal coffee to begin with. Slowly reduce. Fill up on nutritious food. Check out my free online courses on how to resolve depression and anxiety naturally www.drjanellesinclair.com/ecourse
Lol! So do coffee or teas. But just lower alcohol. I think definitely should crush all the drinks listed. It is culturally tough, but so is living with anxiety.
Does drinking honey before bed cause an awakening cortisol spike in the morning? Does honey spike our blood sugar the same way was sugary foods? Thank you
Thank you Dr.Janelle Sinclair !! aplgy my english.. I got the reson & solution now only for my anxiety and panic attack after seeing your this video,.. I met lot of doctors but ii didn't get right reason why its happened ,.. but I realise when the sugar level goes low its happening but I didn't take it much important and manage my glucose level.. this video helped me to get to know the perfectly why this happens clearly and particularly the harmones from atrenal cortisol while the blood sugar levels low.. !!!!
