Curious about the intersection between diet, nutrition, and mental health? We interviewed Dr. Uma Naidoo, a Harvard psychiatrist, professionally-trained chef, & nutritional specialist to uncover the secrets behind a strong brain through food. Her niche work is in Nutritional Psychiatry, and she is regarded both nationally and internationally as a medical pioneer in this new & upcoming field.

Have you ever wondered how your emotions and thoughts are influenced by your diet? Are you seeking ways to treat anxiety without all the prescriptions? Have your food cravings taken control of your life? How do you alleviate stress with your diet?

Dr. Uma Naidoo is the author of “This Is Your Brain on Food,” and Michelin-starred chef David Bouley named her the world's first “triple threat in the food as medicine space.” Her niche work is in nutritional psychiatry and she is regarded both nationally and internationally as a medical pioneer in this more newly recognized field. In her role as a Clinical Scientist, Dr. Naidoo founded and directed the first hospital-based clinical service in Nutritional Psychiatry in the US. She is the Director of Nutritional and Lifestyle Psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and Director of Nutritional Psychiatry at the Massachusetts General Hospital Academy while serving on the faculty at Harvard Medical School.
