Food can affect our mood - we’ve all experienced it. In the past, psychiatry has been concerned with what happens in the brain.

She discusses her groundbreaking research on how food can affect our mood.
In this episode you’ll learn about the link between anxiety, depression and diet. Felice shares her own mental health issues growing up, and offers simple lifestyle tweaks that will make your gut and mind happier.
