Show Notes

You know that feeling when you order food that looks great but makes you feel like crap? Maybe it's deep fried or sugar-ladden. It tastes great, but an hour later, you regret it. Now what if that happens once a week, once a day, or multiple times a day for years?

Obviously, your physical health can suffer, but your mental health can too. On this week's podcast, you'll meet a nutritional psychiatrist who is a thought leader on the mental health and nutrition connection.

Listen and learn:

How turmeric plus black pepper makes the curcumin 20x more bioavailable
Only 10% of the USA population eats enough fresh produce daily
Prebiotic vs. probiotics
Psycho-social aspect of foods and how that impacts your mental health
