Show Notes

Connecting food and mood - whether good or bad - is probably not a radical proposal for anyone listening to this podcast. But what’s the science behind it?

Today’s guest is Felice Jacka, Professor of Nutritional Psychiatry and founder of the Food & Mood Centre at Deakin University. Felice’s work links the food we eat with our mental wellbeing - can foods of different types make us feel better…or worse. She’s also the author of a popular children’s book about gut health called There’s a Zoo in My Poo.
