My guest this week is
Dr. Drew Ramsey,
a psychiatrist, author, farmer,
teacher, and advocate who is a long-time proponent of the
healing power of food, understanding dietary change to help balance
moods, sharpen brain function and improve mental health. He is a
leading innovator in mental health, combining clinical excellence,
nutritional interventions, and creative media. He is an assistant
clinical professor of psychiatry at Columbia University College of
Physicians and Surgeons and in active clinical practice in New York
City. His work and writing have been featured by The New York
Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Huffington Post, Lancet
Psychiatry, and NPR, which named him a “kale evangelist”, and he’s
made appearances on the Today Show, BBC, and TEDx. He is the author
of 4 books,
Eat to Beat Depression &
Anxiety, Eat Complete:
The 21 Nutrients that Fuel Brain Power, Boost Weight Loss and
Transform Your Health, 50 Shades of Kale, and The Happiness Diet.
His new e-course, Eat To Beat Depression, helps people maximize
their brain health with every bite.
In
this episode, Dr. Ramsey and I discuss how to eat to beat
depression and anxiety. Nutrient density plays a huge role in
supporting brain growth and mental health so what should we eat?
Dr. Drew gives us a list of important nutrients for brain function
and a list of what he calls power foods. While you may think that
leafy greens and salmon will not be popular on your kid's plate,
Dr. Drew encourages us to try to add these foods in a way that
isn’t jarring. We’re not talking about a total overhaul here but
instead, looking for ways you can make a pancake or a smoothie more
nutrient dense.
