We're back!! This week, we dish on a topic that impacts most everyone either directly or indirectly: depression and whether changes to your diet or physical activity regimen can help symptoms. We bring you the results of a data deep dive we did, and help make this super applicable for yourself, a loved one, or a patient working to improve their symptoms of depression.

The studies discussed in today's episode included:

Dietary patterns and depression risk: a meta-analysis published in Psychiatry Research
Exercise as a treatment for depression: A meta-analysis published in the Journal of Affective Disorders
Exercise or basic body awareness therapy as add-on treatment for major depression published in the Journal of Affective Disorders
Physical exercise and internet-based cognitive-behavioral therapy in the treatment of depression published in the British Journal of Psychiatry
