Food as medicine

“The anti-anxiety diet is a food-as-medicine approach, which means understanding that food can contribute to disease and dysfunction, or be used to promote healing and prevent disease and anxiety,” says Miller.
This 12-week plan employs what Miller calls The Six R’s: removing inflammatory foods, resetting your gut microbiome (the trillion-strong collection of bacteria that live in your GI system), repairing your GI lining, restoring your micronutrient status, and rebalancing your neurotransmitters.
Sounds confusing and hard, right? But it’s essentially a combination of the ketogenic diet and an anti-inflammatory protocol. That means you simultaneously stop eating anything containing inflammatory foods (Miller says there are five: gluten, corn, soy, sugar, and dairy) and start consuming a high-fat, moderate-protein diet. The latter sends you into ketosis—the state your body enters when it stops burning glucose from carbs for energy and starts burning ketones from fat.
