"All who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure.“ (1John 3:3)
What is Depression?
Depression is merely a symptom that results from chronic brain inflammation known as neuroinflammation. If we want to reduce or eliminate depression, we must search for the source of inflammation fueling its existence. By neglecting the underlying cause, chronic inflammation persists, recovery from depression is less likely, and the risk of developing future medical conditions is greatly increased.There are numerous factors associated with increasing the risk of chronic inflammation and developing depression – adverse childhood experiences, nutritional deficiencies, chronic stress, MTHFR gene mutation, obesity, inflammatory diet, sedentary lifestyle, lack of exercise, sleep deprivation, physical or brain injury, trauma, toxins, medications, altered gut permeability, bacterial or viral infections, hormone imbalance, thyroid disorder, adrenal fatigue, blood sugar imbalance - just to name a few. We believe when the underlying source of chronic inflammation is discovered and dealt with, depression and/or any mentally-related condition can be greatly improved or eliminated. While embarking on this journey of discovery, one of the best defenses against chronic inflammation is to consume a diet that is high in vegetables and fruits. These plant-based foods contain a rich source of vitamins, antioxidants, minerals, fiber, and polyphenols loaded with anti-inflammatory activity. Stephanie’s Dream is about educating and helping to reduce inflammation with the use of nutrition.
