What is the link between food and our brain? What about our mental health? We go into all of this and more with Dr. Uma Naidoo. She is a Harvard trained psychiatrist, professional chef, and a trained nutrition specialist. Her nexus of interests have found their niche in nutritional psychiatry - something we discuss in this episode. Dr. Naidoo founded and directs the first hospital based nutritional psychiatry service in the US. She is the director of nutritional and lifestyle psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital and director of nutritional psychiatry at MGH Academy while serving on the faculty at Harvard Medical School.
