Summary

If I were to tell you that the things you consume could help you think more clearly and function at a higher level, would you make some changes to your diet? Enter Dr. Uma Naidoo, a Harvard trained nutritional psychiatrist, professional chef and nutrition specialist who penned the recent book, This is Your Brain on Food. She gives us the lowdown on how to eat smarter to scratch brain fog, including what should be in your morning mug (hint: it's not coffee) and how spices can make a major difference. Also: We chat strategies to beat emotional eating and the importance of removing the judgement from one small "slip up."
