Using Food To Fight Anxiety with Dr. Uma Naidoo

Food is function. The food we eat acts as information to our bodies. So can our food actually make a difference in our mental health? Does our gut health really impact our brain health?

The answer is a RESOUNDING YES.

Dr. Uma Naidoo founded and directs the first hospital-based nutritional psychiatry service in the United States. She’s the Director of Nutritional and Lifestyle Psychology at Massachusetts General Hospital and Director of Nutritional Psychiatry at MGH Academy. While serving on the faculty of Harvard Medical School, she was considered Harvard’s Mood Food Expert and has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Goop, MindBodyGreen, and ABC News for her new groundbreaking book, This Is Your Brain On Food. Oh, and she is a professional chef.

So, yeah she has a lot of value to bring to the table.

Throughout the pandemic the CDC released a statement that about 11% of Americans had considered suicide.
