Making A Dietitian

Mental Health and your Diet

Listen Later

Today I discuss how your diet may affect your mental health! First, we cover the importance of your macros and micros in terms of mental health, then go into how your gut microbiome may affect your mental health. I finish with covering anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, and schizophrenia in terms of medical treatment and medical nutrition therapy. Please contact your doctor if you believe you are suffering from any mental illnesses! TW: suicide.
