Ep 44. Food and Mood: Are They Related?

My Wife The Dietitian

How do food and mood influence each other? Does it really matter if you have that donut instead of the apple?

There's more evidence showing that what we eat is related to our brain health, including our moods and how we feel. Plus, if there's deficiencies with specific nutrients, this can negatively impact our brain neurotransmitters and feelings.

Today, we discuss :

- 7 Nutritrients for Brain Health

- Which Foods to Limit to Help Mood

Plus, how emotions/thoughts and feelings drive our food choices. How can we unlearn poor dietary habits and problematic mindsets that may keep us stuck eating too much junk.
