Summary

Hey Heal Squad! We’re diving into the delicious side of healing this week with psychiatrist and nutritional wellness pioneer Dr. Drew Ramsey! Let’s just say, this convo might completely change how you think about food and your brain… Dr. Ramsey breaks down how what we eat directly impacts anxiety, depression, and brain fog—and how simple nutrient upgrades can supercharge your mental health. We talk about dopamine, gut-brain connection, why your serotonin might be stuck, and what to do when anxiety makes you feel like you’re spiraling. Plus, we get into “brain food swaps” (yes, even for sugar and coffee), why magnesium is underrated, and the powerful foods that can actually help you heal—like seafood, dark chocolate, and yes… even certain carbs.If you’re ready to feed your mind AND feel better in your body, you’re gonna love this one! -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy’s Page: Shop My Macy’s Storefront Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi code: SQUAD EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/ Join the In-Person Heal Retreat: https://www.canyonranch.com/stay/events/heal-retreat-with-maria-menounos/?location=lenox DR DREW RAMSEY RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drewramseymd/?hl=en Website: https://drewramseymd.com/ ‘Healing The Modern Brain’ Book: https://go.shopmy.us/p-19597042 ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos’ passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.
