Feeling down, lethargic or lacking focus? Dietician Dr Emily Leeming joins Liz to reveal how to keep your brain happy through better food choices.

Emily reveals how and why we need to care for our gut microbes through our nutrition, the key signs of an unhappy gut (and what to look for in the loo!), and looks at the emerging science linking our gut and brain.

Liz and Emily also discuss how loved ones can impact our gut microbiome, what we should be eating every day for optimal gut and brain health, and why 30 plants per week might not be the right target after all...
