The Food-Mood Connection: Insights from Dietician Cyrilla Purnell

Looking at how nutrition and mental health directly affect each other is so important, and we really need to appreciate that concept, because, as nutrition directly affects mental health, we know that through studies.
Ever wondered how your diet might be affecting your mood? In this episode of 'Through a Therapist's Eyes', host Chris Gazdik sits down with Registered Dietician Mrs. Cyrilla Purnell to unpack the intricate relationship between what we eat and how we feel. Mrs. Purnell sheds light on how the foods we consume can influence our mental health, and conversely, how our mental state can impact our food choices.
It's a two-way street that can either lead to a vicious cycle of poor nutrition and worsening mental health or a virtuous cycle of mindful eating and emotional well-being. Mrs. Purnell dives into the role of the microbiome and probiotics, explaining their significant impact on our mental health. She also shares practical tips for developing a healthier relationship with food, emphasizing the importance of self-acceptance and variety in our diets.
Whether you're looking to improve your mental health through better nutrition or simply curious about the food-mood connection, this episode offers valuable insights and actionable advice.
