Dana Chapman

Hello and welcome to the podcast!

This episode is all about nutrition and how much our diet can impact our mental health.

It was a real pleasure welcoming Dana Chapman, a nutritional therapist, onto the pod to chat about the affects food have on us and our mental health, something I've never really thought about about. Previously, whenever I've thought about diet and a balanced diet, I've immediately linked it to physical health and how it dovetails with exercise and fitness. Dana really opened my eyes about food and how important it is for a wholistic health, busting some big myths and misconceptions along the way!

In this episode we talk about:

• How different foods impact us mentally
• How stress can impact the digestive system and important neurotransmitters
• How food and our diet plays a huge role in our mood - the impact it has on our neurotransmitters such as serotonin
• Busting long standing myths about our diets and the idea of 'good' and 'bad' food
• The Western diet vs the Mediterranean diet

When editing and re-listening to our conversation, I had so many wow moments and lightbulb moments, I'm absolutely sure you will too!!
