Welcome to Week 2 of the Feed Your Mental Health Challenge! 🧠

This week, we’re talking about a tiny food that packs a serious nutritional punch:

Pumpkin seeds.

They are rich in magnesium, zinc, iron, and healthy fats, nutrients that play important roles in brain health.

They’re also incredibly easy to incorporate into your day.

Add them to oatmeal, yogurt, salads, soups or simply keep a handful nearby for an easy snack.

Your Week 2 challenge:
Try pumpkin seeds this week.

Keep them somewhere you’ll actually see them and make them part of one meal or snack.

Small changes, one week at a time!

You Belong Here Now.
Where ever and whenever this post finds you:
You Belong Here.
Su***de Prevention is what we do in mental health. My colleagues and I talk about it everyday. We ask every patient we evaluate about suicidal thoughts or thoughts of not wanting to be here.
This month was different for me. Several of my patients were very suicidal this year all at once. It feels very private.
We hope to be the people who hear about these thoughts.
People are scared to tell us. Alliance really means trusting me with the hardest, unspeakable things. Say it.
Please say it.
Su***de prevention is something that changes very quickly for clinicians.
You do a lot of days preventing. Chin up.
A few days you don’t. No words.
It is a humbling experience to sit with a person, a brain, that is grinding on in pain and dwelling on su***de and then
to see that same person/brain with a big smile fall in love.
It’s hard to look away once you see that.
Su***de prevention takes all of us. Let people know they belong. Check in. Do more than check in. Get good conversations going.
Part of the message is for my neighbors in Wyoming Montana, Idaho, Colorado and Alaska. Stay with us.
We recorded an important podcast episode with AFSP medical director Christine Yu Moutier MD who is full of wisdom and actionable advice.
Thank you for being here. đŸ§ đŸ’šđŸ™ŒđŸŒ

How did Week 1 go?

Your challenge was simple:

Add lentils to one meal this week.

Maybe you made lentil soup. Maybe you added them to a salad or grain bowl. Maybe you tried them for the first time.

Now check in:

☐ I tried it
☐ I liked it
☐ I’d eat it again

Tell us me, what did you make?

This week of the Feed Your Mental Health challenge is about all things lentils, a simple, affordable, nutrient-dense food that can be an easy addition to your dietary pattern.

The goal of this challenge isn’t to find one “magic” food for mental health. It’s about building a more nutrient-dense dietary pattern, one food at a time.

How did you add lentils to your week?
Soup? Salad? Lentil bowls? A new recipe? Or maybe you discovered that you actually like them? 👀

Share your lentil creations in your stories and tag us so we can see how you’re feeding your mental health!

Next week, we’re adding a new food.

Share this post with someone who should join us for the rest of the challenge.

Lentils are one of the foods I recommend most often and one that patients have the hardest time getting excited about.

I get it. Lentils aren’t exactly the most glamorous food.

But I keep them in my pantry because they’re inexpensive, easy to store, and incredibly versatile.

One of my favorite ways to use them is to make a big pot of lentils on the weekend and keep it in the fridge throughout the week. Then I can add lentils to salads, soups, grain bowls, and other meals.

They’re an easy way to add protein, fiber, folate, iron, magnesium, and potassium to your diet.

What’s your favorite way to eat lentils?

Welcome to Week 1 of the Feed Your Mental Health 7 Week Challenge! 🧠

We’re starting with one of my favorite foods to recommend and one that doesn’t always get the attention it deserves:

Lentils!

Lentils are packed with nutrients your brain needs, including folate, iron, magnesium, potassium, and fiber.

And they’re practical, too, inexpensive, easy to store, and incredibly versatile.

But the bigger idea this week is nutrient density

Instead of only asking, “How many calories does this food have?” Nutritional Psychiatry asks us to think about how many nutrients we’re getting for those calories.

Lentils are a great example of a food that delivers a lot of nutrition in a simple package.

Your Week 1 challenge: Add lentils to one meal this week.

Try them, see how you like them, and start moving your diet in a more nutrient-dense direction.

Iron is more than an energy nutrient. It’s a brain nutrient. 🧠

Iron helps form hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen to the brain. It’s also needed to make neurotransmitters like dopamine.

That’s one reason iron is included among the important nutrients to pay attention to when we’re thinking about mental health and nutrition.

And the good news? You can get iron from a variety of foods, including meat, seafood, beans, lentils, leafy greens, and seeds.

This is one of the many antidepressant nutrients discussed in Eat to Beat Depression and Anxiety.

Food is information for the brain. What are your favorite iron-rich foods? 👇
