We all know that sugar is something we should really try to avoid at all costs when it comes to our dietary intake. But when we look at the mental health implications that go along with high sugar intake, this is when it becomes incredibly alarming. Today, I want to talk about the true impact that sugars have when it comes to our mental health.†
When we look at our society as a whole, we know that Americans intake way too much sugar. The average American adult consumes roughly around 75 to 80 grams of sugar per day, which is three times the recommended amount. These sugars come from sugary beverages and high-processed foods.†
Then we look at all of the health implications that go along with sugar consumption, beyond that of just diabetes. That’s the first thing that most people think about, but we also have to think about the mental health implications.†
There was data collected in the UK where researchers followed over 10,000 men and women for 30 years, between the years of 1983 and 2013. The researchers were looking at their dietary intake of processed sugars and trying to see if there was any type of increased risk for developing a mental health disorder such as anxiety and depression. The reason why it is so critical to draw this correlation is because over 40 million adults in the United States suffer from mental health conditions.†
These findings are also extremely alarming as researchers have predicted that by the year 2030, major depression will be the leading cause of disability in economically privileged countries.†
There is a very simple fix to help stop the impacts of sugar on mental health status. We stop with the sugary beverages and the processed foods. We start eating whole foods again and start to consume things like water or green tea, as opposed to sugar water, which is not only harmful to our mental health, but also to our energy status and overall well-being.†

Anxiety disorder itself is highly treatable. Unfortunately, many people who have it are given anxiolytic drugs, but they are never given the advice that they should change their diet. Perhaps it’s their diet that’s driving so much of this by basically disrupting the normal communication pathways within the brain, which is incredibly problematic.†
In this episode, Amanda Williams, MPH discusses how the high-sugar foods we eat so frequently can impact mental health. She details several studies on this topic and provides explanations of how sugar works within the body.†

Welcome back to Part 3 of our podcast looking at how heart attacks in women can differ from heart attacks in men. This is a crucial thing to know. In Part 1, we discussed the symptoms of a heart attack in women. It’s not always crushing chest pain. It could be nausea, dizziness or quick-onset fatigue. It’s important to know these things.†
Let’s discuss coenzyme Q10. When CoQ10 is converted to its active form, ubiquinol, it allows you to use oxygen and calories for energy. This is involved with your brain, heart and every other system in the body. All the energy in your body requires CoQ10, but it has to be converted into ubiquinol for that to happen.†
Diabetics have a terrible time converting CoQ10 into ubiquinol, so they are much better off using a ubiquinol supplement. As you grow older, the level of ubiquinol in your body declines because it gets increasingly more difficult to convert CoQ10 into ubiquinol. This lack of ubiquinol impacts your muscles, including your heart muscle. Your heart is pumping blood 100,000 times a day, so it needs a lot of energy. Without ubiquinol, there’s a lot of stress in the heart.†
WHY COENZYME Q10 UBIQUINOL IS SO IMPORTANT – INVITE HEALTH PODCAST, EPISODE 233. Listen Now>>
There have been many studies looking at the role of ubiquinol in heart health. One particular study found that when they gave elderly people ubiquinol, it actually cut down on the number of both men and women who died as a consequence of something wrong with their heart like heart failure, heart attack or sudden cardiac death. When you increase the amount of ubiquinol in the heart, you take a lot of pressure off of it. This means your heart is less likely to go into an arrhythmia, have a heart seizure or suffer a heart attack.†
Here are some things you should look out for. Women more commonly have a condition called spontaneous coronary artery dissection. This occurs when one of the blood vessels in the heart tears. That can block your blood flow and can lead to really severe chest pain. It can feel like a heart attack. Women are more likely to have this issue, especially soon after pregnancy.†
There are things that can help improve the health of your arteries, including fish oils, cocoa, green tea and magnesium. Eating fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as nuts, can also be beneficial.†
