#169 Build your brain using food, with Dr Uma Naidoo

On the show today, I catch up with Dr Uma, a Harvard-trained psychiatrist, Professional Chef and Nutrition Specialist.

Uma has been on the pod before where we talked about nutrition, OCD and anxiety and on today’s episode we talk through practical tips on:

• hydration for mental health and some practical tips to drink more
• How her views evolved since writing her book “The Food Mood connection”
• The 80/20 rule and the importance of balance and flexibility
• What’s in her cupboard & fridge and some budget-friendly ways to eat well
• Spices that support brain health
• What’s next for the field of nutritional psychiatry, including psychobiotics
