17:20 Tips for Food to Improve Mood
Can food really change how you feel?
In this episode, I dive deep into the science behind how nutrition affects your mood, and I’m not just talking about sugar crashes. From the gut-brain axis to blood sugar swings, inflammation, and nutrient deficiencies, I walk you through exactly how what you eat can shape your mental health. I also share personal stories and give you practical tips you can start using today to stabilize your mood through diet.
You’ll learn why your gut is called the "second brain," how neurotransmitters like serotonin are mostly made in your digestive system, and why even people without diabetes are seeing higher depression rates due to blood sugar instability. Plus, I cover the nutrients most commonly linked to mood disorders and what the science says about supplementation.
If you’ve ever felt anxious, foggy, or irritable after a meal and thought, “is it just me?”
It’s not. Your food is talking to your brain, whether you notice it or not.
