Description

Can what’s on your plate rewire your brain?


In this mind-altering episode, I sit down with Dr. Uma Naidoo—Harvard-trained psychiatrist, nutritional psychiatrist, and author of This Is Your Brain on Food—to uncover the hidden science behind how food fuels (or fails) your mental health. From anxiety-busting berries to brain-boosting spices, we explore how your next meal could be your next therapy session.

Whether you're battling brain fog, burnout, or just want to feel better, this episode rewrites the rules of what eating for health really means. Tune in—because what you eat might just be the missing piece to your peace of mind.
