    8 foods that soothe anxiety | Dr. Uma Naidoo
    Nov 14 2024
    1 in 3 people have anxiety. It’s the most common mental health disorder in the world. And many of us know what anxiety feels like: palms sweating before a job interview, losing your appetite before a looming deadline, a pit in your stomach when you get bad news. It’s not just in your head, it’s in your gut. Today, we’ll learn how food could help us cope. Our guest explains the rising global trend toward increased anxiety: its rise through the pandemic, and explosion among young people. Dr. Uma Naidoo is on the forefront of nutritional psychiatry. She directs the first hospital-based Nutritional Psychiatry Service in the US, at Massachusetts General Hospital and teaches at Harvard Medical School. Uma will help you understand the symptoms and biology of anxiety, painting a picture of the risks it poses for long-term health. And her diet tips will help you fuel your gut for a healthy mind. 🥑 Make smarter food choices.

My favorite podcast

I absolutely love, love this podcast. It's just the right amount of detail I need to get a good understanding on each topic. The guests they have are very good at summarizing the science behind nutrition. Can't get enough of it and always look forward to hearing the new episode. Highly recommended!
