Internationally recognised nutritional psychiatrist and professional chef, Dr Uma Naidoo joins fx Medicine by BioCeuticals Ambassador Dr Adrian Lopresti to deep dive into the world of nutritional psychiatry.
Together they explore the concept of food as medicine for the management of mood disorders and cognitive decline conditions.
Dr Naidoo unpacks the concept of the gut-brain axis, and how neurotransmitter production and cross-talk with the gut microbiome affects mood, and how we can influence this through dietary interventions.
