Julia has over 140 peer reviewed publications, including in the Lancet Psychiatry, JAMA and the British Journal of Psychiatry and is currently on the Executive Committee for the International Society of Nutritional Psychiatry Research.   Grab your copy of “The Better Brain” here - https://thebetterbrainbook.com/julia-j-rucklidgeWatch Julia’s TedX talk here - https://www.tedxchristchurch.com/julia-rucklidge ----Full Transcript, Quote Cards, and a Show Summary are available here:https://www.jjlaughlin.com/blogSend me a personal text messageSupport the show
