In this episode, Nicole Aucoin explores the fascinating connection between food, mood, and mental health. Drawing on her conversation with Dr. Uma Naidoo, author of “Your Brain on Food,” Nicole dives into the profound impact of nutrition on our mental well-being. She uncovers the dangers of ultra-processed foods and their link to mental illness while emphasizing the importance of consuming whole foods. Nicole shares key findings from a study indicating that high consumption of ultra-processed foods increases the risk of anxiety and depression. In this episode, you’ll learn how what we eat influences how we feel, and vice versa.
