Ramsey helps readers to assess barriers to self-nourishment and offers techniques for enhancing motivation. To get us started, he provides a kick-starter Six-Week Depression and Anxiety Mental Health Food Plan to incorporate key food categories, like leafy greens and seafood, along with simple, delicious, brain-nutritious recipes.
