So refreshing to see a common sense, research backed approach to nutrition! And the links between "mood and food" just make so much sense! Thanks Michele for introducing a voice of reason into a world that is too packed with woo science and crazy restrictive eating plans. Great talk!
Could listen to you all day about any topic you speak of, not just because your the "Australian Nutritionist with the NY accent" but because you have a beautiful energy, and your message is so powerful and your approach is FANTASTIC! LOVE YOU Michele! - MacKenzie // NOLE Cafe
Michelle, This makes so much sense!!! We know anxiety, depression and mood disorders are increasing especially in teenagers and young adults but I imagine no-one thinks about the connection with food. There are so many reasons to eat healthy (not diet!) and this is a great reason. Fabulous talk! entertaining and educational.
Hello Matevz- thank you! Biochemically... the process goes... amino acids- one might be tryptophan which is a precursor to not only to serotonin but to melatonin as well. Awesome! Food and mood connections!
but carbs are a non-essential nutrient and, from what i can tell, you can get plenty of B vitamins without carbohydrates from meat, veggies, and nuts and even some fruit. are there some B vitamins that are only paired with carbohydrates that i'm missing? (i ask because i know there's over 20 different B vitamins at this point)
High-carbohydrate foods, such as legumes and fruits, are high in fiber, wich is important for a healthy intestinal flora. Which is important for mental health. ;)
@@anniepannie2093 fiber has a may help your micro biome but is unnecessary. it's seemingly more important that you're eating real, whole foods and not destroying them with processed/refined garbage.
Far as I'm aware eating tryptophan rich foods will do nothing in terms of stimulating serotonin production, as tryptophan introduced into body with foods will compete with other amino acids and will not get absorbed. Or am I getting anything wrong here ?

If a type 2 diabetes followed her recommendation, the patient would never reverse her situation. She is good at speech but her recommendations cannot solve the chronic disease issues.
Brain fog disappears when people go into nutritional ketosis, eating a well-formulated 'keto' diet. Brain fog is rarely a problem in people who eat Low Carb High Fat - very low to no sugar and starch- which is made of sugar molecules hooked together, and restrict 'carbs' to vegetables, moderate amounts of protein, ideally from quality animal sources - and plenty of natural fats (NOT the highly processed seed oils cleverly, and deceptively marketed to us as 'vegetable') and generally avoid processed foods. In other words, the real, whole foods that our great-grandparents enjoyed - when people were leaner and healthier, and cancer, heart disease, and Type 2 diabetes was uncommon, and seen only in the old. Fish, like salmon, have more total fat and more saturated fat (not a bad thing!) than a comparable portion of beef or pork.
