On the show today, I catch up with Dr Uma, a Harvard-trained psychiatrist, Professional Chef and Nutrition Specialist. Michelin-starred chef David Bouley described Dr. Uma Naidoo as the world’s first “triple threat” in the food and medicine space: a Harvard trained psychiatrist, Professional Chef graduating with her culinary schools’ most coveted award, and a trained Nutrition Specialist. Her nexus of interests have found their niche in Nutritional Psychiatry. Dr. Naidoo founded and directs the first hospital-based Nutritional Psychiatry Service in the United States. She is the Director of Nutritional and Lifestyle Psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) & Director of Nutritional Psychiatry at MGH Academy while serving on the faculty at Harvard Medical School. She was considered Harvard’s Mood-Food expert and has been featured in the Wall Street Journal. Dr. Naidoo is also the national best selling author of This Is Your Brain On Food. In her book, she shows the cutting-edge science explaining the ways in which food contributes to our mental health and how a sound diet can help treat and prevent a wide range of psychological and cognitive health issues, from ADHD to anxiety, depression, OCD, and others. _______________________________________________________________________ CHAPTERS: Timecodes: 00:00 - Introduction 2:26 - Overlooking Hydration 8:07 - Salts and Saturated Fats 10:25 - Food Relationships 13:26 - Nutritional Psychiatry 19:14 - Filling Your Kitchen 26:10 - Spice Up Your Life 32:43 - Psycho-Biotics ________________________________________________________________________ FOR MORE INFORMATION FROM Dr Uma Nadoo: Website: - https://umanaidoomd.com Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/DrUmaNaidoo/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/drumanaidoo Instagram - https://www.instagram.com › drumanaidoo Check out our previous conversation about food, OCD and anxiety: https://thedoctorskitchen.com/podcasts/83-the-brain-series-part-1-of-3-food-ocd-and-anxiety-with-dr-uma-naidoo _______________________________________________________________________ EAT WELL EVERYDAY 📱 Download the Doctor's Kitchen app for free here: https://apple.co/3La17ce 🥗 Download a FREE 7 day meal plan: https://thedoctorskitchen.com/newsletter/ LEARN FROM THE BEST 🎤 Listen to experts on the podcast: https://thedoctorskitchen.com/podcasts 👨🏽‍💻 Browse articles on the website: www.thedoctorskitchen.com MY COOKBOOKS 📚 https://thedoctorskitchen.com/books/ LET'S BE FRIENDS 📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/doctors_kitchen/ 📹 Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDHTLhQbYlFnPBv-iLgFsQQ 🙋🏽‍♂️ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedoctorskitchen 🐦 Twitter: https://twitter.com/doctors_kitchen 👔 https://www.linkedin.com/in/rupy-aujla/
