Today’s episode is a part 2 to the episode where I discussed the studies used to create the Mental Health goal on the app. I specifically spoke about dietary patterns and nutrients related to supporting mental health as well as how we used this information to create recipes.
On this episode I want to discuss our ability to listen to our internal organs through the cues and signals they send and look at food through a more integrative lens, giving consideration to the pleasure associated with eating and sharing meals. We also asked our lovely newsletter subscribers who get my “eat, read, listen” every week, to talk about their experiences looking after their mental health, the barriers they face and some practical tips to integrate this knowledge into everyday life.
Today you’ll learn about:
Interoception
The beauty and pleasure of food
The main take-aways from the nutrition research
Tips and hacks from the community about how to instil these values in your day to day

| 1:08.8 | and I'm a firm believer in the power of food and lifestyle as medicine. |

| 1:46.8 | nutrition and mental well-being. So we looked at protective nutrients, we looked at eating patterns, |
| 1:52.7 | we looked at the foods to reduce. Well, this is the second element of it, and I think it's unique |
| 1:58.1 | to mental well-being, but I think it's more obvious in mental well-being that it's going to be |
| 2:02.3 | a lot more than just your diet and your exercise regimes that are going to have an impact. And so I |
| 2:08.6 | wanted to do something a little bit different. So instead of me or rating into the mic, as I've |
| 2:13.9 | done in previous episodes, or the traditional podcast, which is me having a chat with someone |
