Dr. Uma Naidoo is a Harvard-trained psychiatrist and nutrition specialist whose practice advocates for us all to evaluate how the lifestyle and nutrition choices we make impact not only our body, but our mental health. Her newest book, Calm Your Mind With Food, takes her work one step further with science-backed, practical guidance designed to shed some light on what she calls “the anxiety epidemic”. In our conversation we dive into the specifics on how food, gut-health, and inflammation all connect to anxiety and chronic mental health disorders, while also sharing some of the tools, strategies, and foods that can help us battle our chronic anxiety and bring more calm into our lives.
