Eat well, feel well, think clearly
As a Harvard-trained psychiatrist, professional chef, and Certified Nutritional Specialist, Dr. Uma Naidoo is a triple threat in the exciting new field of nutritional psychiatry. Her main message: Most people overlook the power at the end of their forks to feel emotionally better.
In this course, you’ll explore the profound connection between what you eat and your mental well-being, learning practical and empowering strategies for a calmer mind. By the end, you’ll better understand which foods work for you (and which to ditch) and have a personalized Calmness Plan, complete with shopping lists, meal plans, and recipes.
