Food and mental health: the gut-brain connection explained
In this episode, Emma Sullivan and David Park break down the emerging science of nutritional psychiatry—exploring how your gut microbiome directly communicates with your brain through the vagus nerve and influences mood, anxiety, and mental resilience. You'll learn what the research actually says (and doesn't say) about specific foods and mental health, discover the dietary patterns most strongly linked to better mood outcomes, and walk away with one genuinely actionable first step: increasing dietary diversity rather than chasing restrictive rules.Follow The Wellness Rhythm Show: ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheWellnessRhythmShow 📖 Newsletter: https://thewellnessrhythmshow.substack.com Powered by VoxCrea.AI
