1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 In today’s episode I am speaking with Dr. Uma Naidoo, whose fascinating research continues to shed light on a very important connection: the impact our diet has on our mental and emotional health. Dr. Uma Naidoo is a Harvard-trained psychiatrist and nutrition expert, who is also trained as a chef, and is currently the Director of Nutritional Psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital and the author of the upcoming book, This Is Your Brain On Food. &amp;nbsp; My conversation with Dr. Naidoo highlights many interesting facts related to the gut-brain connection, but here are some of the key takeaways: What we eat affects not only our bodies, but also our mental and emotional health. Foods like fruit, veggies, beans, nuts, legumes and whole grains can have a positive impact on our gut health, as do prebiotic and probiotic foods. Healthy living means starting your day in a way which allows you to connect with your spiritual center so that you can find joy and gratitude in your life. &amp;nbsp; If you’re eager to learn more about Dr. Uma Naidoo’s work, you can visit her website (https://book.umanaidoomd.com/), where you’ll also find information about her book, Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/DrUmaNaidoo/), and Twitter (https://twitter.com/DrUmaNaidoo),&amp;nbsp; Drama-Free Healthy Living With Jess Cording http://drama-free-healthy-living-jess-cording.libsyn.com/website <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/15305360/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/content/80290598
