52. The Mental Health & Microbiome Connection with Dr. Uma Naidoo
Today, we’re rounding out mental health awareness month with a board-certified psychiatrist, nutritionist, and professional chef, Dr. Uma Naidoo. As the author of This Is Your Brain on Food, Dr. Uma explains what our microbiome is, how it works, and why it’s so closely involved in our mental health. She shares tips for turning your kitchen into a ‘food pharmacy,’ detailing which foods disrupt and which support a healthy gut and brain. By making conscious choices around the foods we put on our plate, we will reduce inflammation to benefit our mood and cognitive function.
