Dr. Naidoo shares her expert perspective on mental health through the lense of nutritional psychiatry- more simply, “your mind on food”. Dr. Naidoo reframes food as a “tool” and empowers listeners to use nutrition to help mitigate conditions from depression, anxiety and libido to bipolar disorder. She discussed foods “you should embrace” and foods "you should step back from” as prescriptive tools to match each specific condition.
Dr. Naidoo shares wisdom from her groundbreaking new book, Calm Your Mind With Food which provides actionable strategies to help empower and guide the reader to mitigate anxiety through food. Tune in to learn Dr. Naidoo’s nemonic, CALMS, which lists her top recommended foods to help calm the mind. The episode closes with a Practically Healthy potato chip “swap" from Dr. Naidoo- you won’t want to miss this tip!
