Today, we’re talking about food and your brain. Sure, we’ve all heard how food affects your weight, your energy, and your gut, but what about your brain? It turns out, the connection between what we eat and how our brain functions is pretty incredible—and maybe even life-changing.
We’re joined by Dr. Uma Naidoo, Harvard psychiatrist and author of This Is Your Brain on Food, to explore the foods that boost brain health, improve mood, and sharpen cognition. From combating anxiety and depression to supporting focus and memory, we’re breaking down the science of what to eat—and what to avoid—for a healthier, happier brain.
