Steven Ilardi joins us to discuss depression.
Across the industrialized modern world, clinical depression has reached epidemic proportions, despite a staggering increase in the use of antidepressant medication. In fact, depression is now the single leading cause of work-related disability for adults under 50. However, there is strong evidence that depression can be both prevented and treated through a set of straightforward changes in lifestyle. Our research has demonstrated that TLC is an effective treatment for depression, with over 70% of patients experiencing a favorable response, as measured by symptom reduction of at least 50%.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome back to Not Just Paleo. I'm your host, Evan Brand. Today we're talking with Dr. Stephen |
| 0:06.0 | Alardi. Now, he wrote the book that I found, I don't know where I found his book, but it's called |
| 0:11.5 | The Depression Cure. You may or may not have heard about it. And this is a book that really |
| 0:17.2 | outlines some of the basic foundations that humans need to have in place to be healthy. |
| 0:23.5 | Basically, the idea is that depression is a disease of civilization, if I were to categorize |

| 0:56.8 | And as you may know, depression was one of the biggest symptoms or issues that I had that really |
