Now, some of the symptoms were reduced to a greater extent than other symptoms. So there's some symptoms that diet seemed to have a bigger impact. So particularly the psychological symptoms, diet seem to have the biggest impact. So these symptoms are, for example, the mood swings, the irritability, the anxiety, as well as some of the other cognitive conditions like memory loss.
Oh, and now I'm forgetting. Every time I say the word memory loss, my memory loss part of my brain comes in. But that's where we seem to have the biggest impact for improving diet. What we also did is we did a deep dive into looking at individual dietary components.

So having seen that on average, if you're following a healthy diet, you experience about a 35% reduction in your symptoms, which is a huge, this is on average across all of the different symptoms, but some being greater than the other. We also saw that that reduction was of the same size, whether you were taking HRT or not, because this is something people often ask.

Again, because we had such a big cohort, we could adjust for lots of different variables. We could adjust, does this differ depending on whether you're on HRT or not on HRT? Those on HRT are obviously coming from a lower starting point in terms of how many symptoms they have and how burdensome the symptoms are.

But what we found was that even if you're taking HRT, you still get this big improvement in symptoms when you follow this overall healthier diet. And then when we started to drill down into individual components, and we haven't published this yet, this is quite new analysis. What we found was that there were some foods that were associated with reduction in quite a number of symptoms.

And then when we started to drill down into individual components, and we haven't published this yet, this is quite new analysis. What we found was that there were some foods that were associated with reduction in quite a number of symptoms.
So we saw, for example, seeds and nuts. They were associated with a lot lower prevalence of symptoms. We see that fruits and vegetables as well were associated with lower prevalence of symptoms. And we saw that some dairy products, so for example, the fermented dairy products like the whole yogurts and cheeses were also associated with lower prevalence. symptoms.

And then conversely, we saw that some of the starchy refined foods. So starchy, refined carbohydrate foods like white breads, white rice, white pasta are associated with greater symptoms and that some of the quite heavily processed foods that are high in sugar or high in kind of saturated fat were associated with more prevalence of symptoms.

So nothing kind of surprising in terms of it's kind of just going in a direction of a healthier dietary pattern. The strongest association was the seeds and the nuts. which I think is really interesting. But I wouldn't say there was a silver bullet as such that came out. But we're still crunching some of the numbers. This isn't published yet, this data.
