podcast from Ari Whitten, energy blueprint who I thoroughly recommend.

“In this episode, I speak with Harvard psychiatrist and nutritional psychiatry expert, Uma Naidoo, MD about how optimizing your diet can improve your brain health, helping to treat and prevent a wide range of psychological and cognitive health issues from ADHD to anxiety, to depression to OCD and others.In this podcast, Dr. Naidoo and I discuss:Why Dr. Naidoo became interested in helping patients through nutrition - even when her profession, psychiatry, relies almost exclusively on drugsFour different ways that your brain is altered by the food you consume and its effect on mental healthDr Naidoo’s opinion on the recent collapse of the depression-serotonin hypothesis and what it means for the future of mental health and SSRI prescriptions.To what extent can the science of neurotransmitters (tryptophan, GABA, etc) be used to help people feel happier, less anxious, more motivated and more energetic. (Big help or big hype?)Why the gut-brain axis is essential to consider when looking for better patient outcomes (and why this is not being addressed by most clinicians?)The specific foods or diet plans to lower the risk of suffering depression or anxiety (and the biggest pro-inflammatory foods you must avoid!)The key foods (and supplements) to consume in your diet to stabilize your mood and lift daily performance”
