How Food Affects Our Mood

You are what you eat. It’s time you heard that not just from your general physician but from your therapist as well. Dr. Uma Naidoo is founder and director of the Nutritional Psychiatry Service at Massachusetts General Hospital and on the faculty at Harvard Medical School. She joins host Krys Boyd to talk about how science shows foods like blueberries –-and sadly, not cookies — are keys to mental health and cogitative function. Her new book is called “This is Your Brain on Food: An Indispensable Guide to the Surprising Foods that Fight Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, OCD, ADHD, and More.”
