Can changing your diet calm your mind? New science is saying it can. In this episode, I’m talking to Dr. Uma Naidoo about anxiety in women over 40 and why changing what’s on your plate could change your mood. Dr. Naidoo founded the first hospital-based nutrition psychiatry practice in the country, meaning she is on the cutting edge of understanding the gut-brain connection and its impact on hormones and mental health.
From the overlooked nutrients you should be monitoring to crucial dietary shifts and beneficial spices to try, Dr. Naidoo has helpful strategies you can begin using today to support your mind and body.
If you’ve been anxious, struggling with sleep, or generally feeling out of sorts, make sure you don’t miss a moment of this episode!
