Eat for your mental health and learn the fascinating science behind nutrition with this guide from an expert psychiatrist.

Did you know that blueberries can help you cope with the aftereffects of trauma? That salami can cause depression, or that boosting Vitamin D intake can help treat anxiety?

When it comes to diet, most people's concerns involve weight loss, fitness, cardiac health, and longevity. But what we eat affects more than our bodies; it also affects our brains. And recent studies have shown that diet can have a profound impact on mental health conditions ranging from ADHD to depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, OCD, dementia, and beyond.

A triple threat in the food space, Dr. Uma Naidoo is a board-certified psychiatrist, nutrition specialist, and professionally trained chef. In This Is Your Brain on Food, she draws on cutting-edge research to explain the many ways in which food contributes to our mental health and shows how a sound diet can help treat and prevent a wide range of psychological and cognitive health issues.

Packed with fascinating science, actionable nutritional recommendations, and delicious, brain-healthy recipes, This Is Your Brain on Food is the go-to guide to optimizing your mental health with food.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic reviews

"Dr. Uma Naidoo unveils a truth that I wholeheartedly endorse: What we eat affects our brains. Her incisive research and scrumptious recipes are an ode to enhancing mental acuity." (Lisa Mosconi, PhD, director of the Women's Brain Initiative at Weill Cornell and author of The XX Br)

"In a very real sense, we are our brain's architect in terms of both structure and function. And without question, food may be the most powerful influence on our brain's destiny. Building on leading research, This Is Your Brain on Food provides everything you need to craft a nutritional program focused on optimizing brain health and performance." (David Perlmutter, MD, author of Grain Brain and Brain Wash)

"If you want to improve your cognitive function, mood, and mental health, read this book!" (Dr. Josh Axe, author of Keto Diet)

Because I have an interest in how foods affect ones health, a lot of this was review for me. If you're just starting to look into how foods affect ones body and mind, this is a great book. I think it might be better in print so I could go back and review, as well as, skip parts I'm not interested in. I am thankful there is a PDF with this title.

Good review for some, Great intro. for others
