Leading Nutritional Neuroscientist: The Foods That Shape Your Brain, Focus and Mental Health! E53

Описание: This week Alberto sat down with Dr Rachel Gow, leading nutritional neuroscientist, researcher, author, and founder of Nutritious Minds Trust.
Dr Rachel explains why we have been taught to think about food only in terms of weight, calories, or appearance, while completely ignoring its impact on the brain, mood, focus, and emotional regulation.

Drawing from decades of clinical research and personal experience as a mother, she reveals how what we eat directly shapes neurotransmitters, brain structure, inflammation, and long term mental health.

They explore how ultra processed foods, sugar, alcohol, and nutrient deficiencies quietly impair attention, motivation, emotional stability, and resilience, and why many mental health conversations ignore the biological foundations of the brain.

This conversation bridges neuroscience, nutrition, psychology, and real life application, offering simple but powerful ways to support brain health at any stage of life.

You will learn
• How food directly affects dopamine, serotonin, and emotional regulation
• Why omega three fats are essential for memory, focus, and mood
• How sugar and alcohol hijack the brain’s reward system
• The connection between gut health and mental health
• Simple nutrition principles that support long term brain resilience

This episode is a practical guide to understanding your brain, feeding it properly, and protecting it for life.
