Anxiety diagnoses have been on the rise, especially in a post-pandemic world. With more and more people suffering from anxiety in our stressful lifestyles, it can be challenging to find a path forward and calm our minds. But we know that anxiety can be a powerful signal from our body that change needs to occur.
One change we can implement immediately is changing what we eat daily. Our food has the power to lower inflammation in our body, enhance gut bacteria, and ultimately change how we feel.
Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Dr. Uma Naidoo, a Harvard trained psychiatrist, Professional Chef, and Nutrition Specialist. Dr. Naidoo shares the research that shows the connection between the foods we eat and how we feel. She also shares the common myths about anxiety and lifestyle factors that can increase our anxiety, including ultra-processed foods, lack of fiber, and a sedentary lifestyle. Dr. Naidoo shows us how to fill our plates with foods and incorporate anxiety-busting foods into our diet.
