Can the food we eat make you a healthier, less toxic individual? (+ help you live longer)?  Do prisoners commit crimes because of what they eat? Is the food we are eating fuelling a mental health crisis? 

In today’s episode, Louise is joined by Kimberley Wilson, chartered psychologist and author of 'Unprocessed: How The Food We Eat is Fuelling our Mental Health Crisis' . Prepare to be amazed by the intricate web of connections between nutrition, behavior, and mental health. As Louise and Kimberley navigate through the diverse topics discussed, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the critical role that food plays in shaping our well-being. The pair discuss:

• The impact of nutritional deficiencies in early life
• The connection between prisoners, aggression, and mineral and vitamin deficiencies
• The limited genetic influence on Alzheimer's disease risk
• The early onset of Alzheimer's and its hidden progression
• Mexico's obesity rates surpassing the United States and the link to Coca Cola
• The importance of incorporating more beans into our diet (yes, really)

Louise also shares her own personal experience around how being a ‘bad’ vegan led her to getting her gut tested using an Organic Acid Test at a biohacking clinic in London. It helped her understand how the food she was eating wasn’t providing her with the right building blocks to create dopamine. Cue: depression.
