Calm mind with food

Enlightening, based on the purpose for which I read it — nutritional psych. It’s properly researched. Used in conjunction with my other education it will serve me well.

Very Informative

This was a fantastic and informative book. Dr. Naidoo makes clear the connection, in a science-based way, between what we eat and how we feel. It’s good to know that it can be within our power to limit anxiety’s affect on us.

Interesting but not new.

The reader is excellent. The book is nonjudgmental which is nice. But honestly if you ate this way you would be depressed and broke lol. I guess you could incorporate some things but it’s always about this vegan sprouted lifestyle that few can really do. Just my opinion. Still worth a listen. I listened to the whole book and did get some good take a ways.

I started with skepticism

but the science is persuasive. I appreciate the caution around pressing for 1 size fits all, as well as promoting flavorful foods with familiar (as well as a few exotic) ingredients. The idea of a Mediterranean diet, with world flavors & recipes.

So good

So good I told my MD to read this book! She said she too will read the audiobook

Not Much New Info.

It was fine and, of course, a quality work but nothing ground breaking or new as I’d hoped. Lots and lots of antidotes. If you are well read on clean eating and/or anxiety, you won’t likely benefit much. If you are a new comer, you will definitely learn lots. As with most of these books, the recipes are a bit time consuming with expensive, hard to find ingredients … I may try 1-2.

Very informative!

I liked this book very much! The author is so informative and easy to listen to. It opened my eyes to importance of what we put into our bodies. It was enlightening to learn more about the brain-gut connection. Thank you!

Eating for good health

I liked the division of the healthy foods and the recipes in the .pdf file.

A lot I heard before, a lot I hadn’t

Some really good dietary information here that I’ve implemented in the past and has worked for me. I’ve learned more in this book I plan to also work into my days.
