According to the World Health Organization, depression represents the main cause of disability around the world. In 2017, more than 17 million Americans reported at least one major depressive episode within the year; however, with the stress of 2020, those numbers continue to rise. More than 1 in 10 women have been given a diagnosis of depression in the United States, and rates of depression and anxiety continue to rise each year.

While antidepressants can be life-saving for some, they also mask the underlying cause of depression and can come with some serious side effects, and some research suggests that antidepressants are not as effective as they claim to be. There is also a significant link between depression and chronic inflammation. When searching for the root cause of depression, many considerations must be taken, such as chronic stress, environmental factors (toxins, pollutants), genetics (MTHFR), leaky gut, gut dysbiosis, food sensitivities (gluten, dairy), and past or present emotional traumas.
