What we eat, and how we eat, can have a profound effect on our brain health, even influencing depression, anxiety and ADHD.Today, we’re unpacking simple food strategies that can support your nervous system, with a big focus on the gut-brain connection.And I have the pleasure of chatting with Dr Miguel Toribio-Mateas to explore this topic.He’s a clinical neuroscientist, nutrition researcher and author of the brilliant new book ‘ADHD Body and Mind: A Compassionate Guide to Rewilding Your Nervous System’.He also has a fantastic way of bringing together brain health and delicious, practical food.We cover 👇• Why combining foods can unlock more benefits than eating them on their own• The shift from “more fibre” to “more variety of fibre”• Everyday foods your gut microbes thrive on that most of us under-eat• Why how you eat matters just as much as what’s on your plate• The surprising impact even mild dehydration can have on focus and mood• Easy ways to upgrade meals you’re already eating, even on low-energy daysThis conversation will leave you inspired to cook your way to a healthier brain. And stick around for Miguel’s slightly unusual approach to using a slow cooker to maximise the nutritional value of his food.Dr Miguel’s socialshttps://drmiguelmateas.com/https://thecreativescientist.substack.com/http://instagram.com/drmiguelmateasHope you enjoy!Dr Rupy x🎬 Watch the podcast on YouTube here📱 Download The Doctor’s Kitchen app🌐 View full show notes, including guest details, on our website☕️ Try Exhale Coffee here🥗 Join the newsletter and receive a 7 day meal plan📷 Follow on Instagram Hosted on Acast.
