Kwik Brain with Jim Kwik

How can you use food to regulate your body, mood and heal your brain?  We are experiencing increasing levels of depression, anxiety, aggression, and divisiveness in our society. While we can attribute this to a global pandemic and lack of human interaction, there is something to be said about the studies connecting the food we eat to our biological function.  I am thrilled to welcome a very special guest, Dr. Mark Hyman, to the show returning to shed light on this topic and discuss his new book, The Pegan Diet.  Mark is a thirteen-time New York Times bestselling author and Head of Strategy and Innovation at the Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine. In this episode, Mark helps us understand the meaning of functional medicine and the seven systems in our bodies that are regulated by what we eat.  Listen as he shares our brains' tremendous ability to heal when we swap the bad food for good. Additionally, eating the right food works faster, better, and cheaper than any drug available. *** Do you want to stay up to date with every new episode and get my brand new Kwik Brain Accelerator Program?
