I thought there is a connection between food and mood, despite the fact that I've been going to doctors and they kept saying there's no connection. So why your work is so great is because you're doing it.
Have you ever wondered if what you eat could affect your mental health? Dr. Bonnie J Kaplan, a Professor Emeritus at the University of Calgary, certainly has. In this eye-opening episode of 'The Kick Sugar Coach Podcast', Dr. Kaplan shares her extensive research on how nutrition, particularly micronutrient supplementation, can play a pivotal role in managing mental health issues like anxiety, depression, and ADHD. Dr.
Kaplan's journey from a junk food diet to becoming a leading voice in nutritional psychiatry is both inspiring and informative. She breaks down the science behind why what we eat matters so much for our mental well-being and discusses the often-overlooked benefits of micronutrients. You'll hear about her bestselling book 'The Better Brain', co-authored with Professor Julia Rucklidge, which delves into the compelling evidence supporting the role of good nutrition in mental health. But it's not just about the science.
Dr. Kaplan also tackles the societal biases against micronutrient supplements and makes a strong case for why governments should make these supplements more accessible. Her insights are not only backed by rigorous research but also come from a place of genuine concern for public health. If you're curious about how changing your diet could change your life, or if you're looking for practical ways to support your mental health through nutrition, this episode is a must-listen.
