More than sixty million Americans are affected with psychiatric disorders and few see improvement using prescribed medications. Fix Your Mood with Food uses the methods practiced in Chinese medicine to improve mood naturally. By focusing on the whole individual-rather than an isolated affliction-it is designed to cure the entire body.In this approachable book, Heather Lounsbury, one of Los Angeles' most well-known acupuncturists, draws from her own personal and clinical experiences as well as her extensive studies in holistic and Chinese nutrition and Chinese medicine to help you achieve emotional and physical health. Readers will be empowered by natural options for mood improvement with dietary insight based on ancient healing practices. Whether you're a constant worrier, easily agitated, stressed, suffer from panic attacks, or anything in between, you can take back control and return to emotional balance. Lounsbury guides readers to elevate mood naturally as they improve (and prevent) a variety of physical ailments, including heart conditions, high cholesterol, digestive issues, headaches, and energy problems. Includes comprehensive food charts and health tips.

So take out the unknowns and start feeling great by digesting the awesome information, facts and stories that Heather has served up." --David de Rothschild, Environmentalist"All of my life I've struggled with my eating habits. Eating was a way of forgetting about problems. I grew up trying all diets available from Atkins to South Beach. It wasn't until I changed into a plant based diet and learned about greens and super foods and read Fix Your Mood with Food that I was finally able to feel healthy, stronger and younger than ever. I lost 40 pounds within my first year of going vegan and now I have plenty of energy to practice yoga, training at the gym and riding more than 100 miles a week on my bike. A plant-based diet has helped me overcome my food addictions and I highly recommended to everyone an expert like Heather." --Marco A Regil, Mexico's Number One Television Game Host
