@mightypursuit: Link in bio for full episode. This week, we sit down with Dr. Uma Naidoo on the Mighty Pursuit Podcast. Widely recognized as Harvard’s leading expert on the connection between mood and food, she has been called the world’s first “triple threat” in the fields of nutrition and medicine. Not only is Dr. Naidoo a psychiatrist but also a trained nutritionist and professional chef, uniquely blending these disciplines to pioneer the field of nutritional psychiatry. As the Director of Nutritional and Lifestyle Psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital—one of the top hospitals in the world—Dr. Naidoo has been at the forefront of research on how food impacts mental health. Her influence has grown significantly, fueled by the success of her New York Times bestseller This Is Your Brain on Food and her follow-up book, Calm Your Mind with Food, which explores the link between diet and anxiety. In today’s episode, we talk about the brain-gut connection, the impact that chronic stress has on the body and whether chemical imbalances are truly the cause of mental health issues. We then dive into treatment options, discussing the effectiveness of pharmaceutical interventions like antidepressants, as opposed to using food to improve your mood.
