The Anti-Anxiety Diet Cookbook

Great Recipes!

There are several things I like about this cookbook. I have The Anti-Anxiety Diet and there is a lot of information in it. However, if you don't want to read all the details. This cookbook is for you. Not only does it have amazing recipes that are easy to cook, it gives you information about WHY you need to eat real food. Our society is built on processed garbage and chemicals. This cookbook helps you with what to cook and explains information about how to use food as medicine. 

If you want a deeper dive after reading the information in the cookbook, I highly recommend the Anti Anxiety Diet book by Ali. She is so knowledgeable and provides a lot of information explaining how our bodies react to the food we eat.

Love it!

This cookbook is incredible! I love the recipes and planned our Christmas dinner and Thanksgiving meals Out of this book. So good! The first two chapters are helpful in understanding the benefits of eating Whole Foods and discovering what works for you and your body. I’m 7 weeks into my healthy lifestyle to rid myself of eczema and Ali and Becki are the first people to have offered me truly helpful advice. I’m so grateful for these two! — Craig Campbell

Great Recipes!

Ali is one of the most knowledgeable individuals in the functional medicine community and I'm really enjoying the recipes in this book. I am not crazy about cooking, but it's more enjoyable when the recipes are solid and the dishes/baked goods come out tasting amazing. I especially love that Ali uses real food (like dates) in desserts instead of sweeteners (stevia, erythritol, etc) that many other cookbook authors rely on. I've had issues with insulin resistance and gave up sugar over a year ago, but I also don't tolerate the natural sweeteners. I feel like sugar and sweeteners were a main culprit in my anxiety. — Michele Burns

Why I created this book:

Commonly prescribed anti-anxiety and antidepressant medications are often provided as a first line of defense rather than a last resort and these drugs can drive depletion of nutrients and dependency driving fatigue, sleep disorders, memory problems, weight gain, and often a more severe mood disturbance. Over 40 million Americans deal with anxiety and the use of anti anxiety and antidepressant drugs is up 65% in the past 15 years.

I created The Anti-Anxiety Diet to be your guide to get you back in the driver’s seat of the vehicle of your body. This is the manual to learn how to thrive versus simply survive! When the diet is shifted to that of the anti-anxiety diet protocol, inflammation is reduced, gut integrity is repaired, and nutrients of need are provided in abundance with enhanced absorption. As the body’s nutritional status is optimized and stress signals are reduced, the systems that regulate hormones and stress chemicals are able to downshift from high-alert, chronic anxiety to reactive only in times of need. This creates a more even-keeled mood and mental processing with balanced physical responses, which then relaxes the body and gives positive feedback to the mind.

The Anti-Anxiety Diet Cookbook serves as a resource to support the lifestyle and adds emphasis for children as well as metabolic flexibility and the concept of carb cycling with a ketogenic diet. With purchase of the cookbook you also get a download guide which includes grocery list, probiotic challenge
