The Real Impact of Nutrition on Your Brain and Mood

Second Thoughts

Is your diet affecting more than your waistline? In this episode, we explore how what you eat shapes your brain health, mood, and overall mental performance. Discover why the Standard American Diet (ironically called the SAD diet) is making us feel worse despite filling us up, and how eating the right foods can improve focus, fight depression, and support brain function.

We also dive into the benefits of omega-3s, B vitamins, and other essential nutrients, while breaking down the hidden dangers of processed foods. Whether you’re curious about boosting your mental sharpness or simply want to feel better every day, this conversation is packed with practical nutrition insights.
