Dr. Uma Naidoo is a Nutritional Psychiatrist at Harvard Medical School, best-selling author, professional chef, and more. She joins your hosts today to discuss how the gut and brain are connected, the importance of what food you eat, and the link between mental and metabolic health. She shares what drew her to this field of medicine, how our diet is linked to our brain, and offers quick and easy recipes that can make a big difference for shift workers. She touches on foods that support your mental health, foods to support people going through fertility treatments, and discusses her new project: the first CME program in nutritional psychiatry with Mass General.
