Food as medicine for mental health with Dr Adrian Lopresti and Dr Uma Naidoo

Internationally recognised nutritional psychiatrist and professional chef, Dr Uma Naidoo joins fx Medicine 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. Dr Naidoo shares her clinical insights to support the implementation of sustainable, positive change for our patients using food as medicine to influence behaviour change and compliance to achieve beneficial mental health outcomes. This podcast is full of practical tips and insights into various nutrients that have been evidenced to positively lower neuroinflammation associated in mood and cognitive decline disorders, and to encourage the concept of mindful eating to support sustainable long-term outcomes for our patients.
