Almost a year later, D and Jac are reunited with their fav Harvard Nutritional Psychiatrist (NBD), Dr. Uma Naidoo, to discuss her new book, "Calm Your Mind With Food," which focuses on the link between diet and anxiety, emphasizing the importance of a healthy gut-brain connection. She shares insights from her own personal experiences with anxiety and highlights simple dietary changes that can help you manage it. Dr. Uma also offers tips for incorporating nutritious meals into a busy schedule, stressing the importance of avoiding foods that can trigger anxiety and which ones to avoid in particular. The gals also touch on the role of medications like Ozempic on hormones like leptin, the effect they might be having on people’s mental health, and so much more.
