Dr. Andre’a Watkins

Many of us have heard, “You are what you eat.” Guess what… you are!  If you eat better, you will be healtier. On this #TherapyThursday, Dr. Topaz has a powerful conversation with her Spelman College and Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., Sister, Dr. Andre’a Watkins. “Dr. Andy” is the CEO/Owner and Culinary Psychiatrist for FreedomMind Wellcare and Consulting LLC. She has over a decade of expertise in the field of psychiatry, layered with an innovative, nutritional approach to mental health, gut health, and nervous system regulation to drive lasting transformation. As they delve into the gut-brain connection, their conversation underscores that our bodies are naturally designed to help and to heal us. As we consider how to optimize our mental wellness journey, Dr. Topaz and Dr. Andy remind us of two powerful truths: 1) every journey to optimal mental health is individualized; 2) do not underestimate the power of a tailored nutritional plan in support of your mind.  This episode deserves a double-listen.  Spoiler alert: Sugar is not your friend!Let’s establish an interconnected community that is committed to creating strong minds and soft lives.
