Story
In this revolutionary audiobook, Dr. Lisa Mosconi, director of the Women's Brain Initiative at Weill Cornell Medical College, provides women with the first plan to address the unique risks of the female brain. Until now, medical research has focused on "bikini medicine", assuming that women are essentially men with breasts and tubes. Yet women are far more likely than men to suffer from anxiety, depression, migraines, brain injuries, and strokes. They are also twice as likely to end their lives suffering from Alzheimer's disease, even when their longer lifespans are taken into account.

Recent cutting-edge research shows that human intestinal microbiota influences metabolism, appetite, energy, hormones, inflammation, and insulin resistance. Because gut microflora plays a central role in weight management, losing weight is much more than cutting calories, fat, or carbs. When the trillions of live bacteria in our digestive tract - the gut microbiome - are balanced, excess pounds melt away, and we feel revitalized.

In Nutrition Essentials for Mental Health, Leslie Korn provides clinicians with a practical guide to the complex relationship between what we eat and the way we think, feel, and interact with the world. Where there is mental illness there is frequently a history of digestive and nutritional problems. Digestive problems in turn exacerbate mental distress.

All can be stoked by high uric acid levels. Our most respected scientific literature is bursting with evidence that elevated uric acid levels lie at the root of many pervasive health conditions, but mainstream medicine for the most part remains unaware of this connection.

Publisher's summary
Dr. Lisa Mosconi, whose research spans an extraordinary range of specialties including brain science, the microbiome, and nutritional genomics, notes that the dietary needs of the brain are substantially different from those of the other organs, yet few of us have any idea what they might be. Her innovative approach to cognitive health incorporates concepts that most doctors have yet to learn. Busting through advice based on pseudoscience, Dr. Mosconi provides recommendations for a complete food plan, while calling out noteworthy surprises, including why that paleo diet you are following may not be ideal, why avoiding gluten may be a terrible mistake, and how simply getting enough water can dramatically improve alertness.
Including comprehensive lists of what to eat and what to avoid, a detailed quiz that will tell you where you are on the brain health spectrum, and 24 mouth-watering brain-boosting recipes that grow out of Dr. Mosconi's own childhood in Italy, Brain Food gives us the ultimate plan for a healthy brain. Brain Food will appeal to anyone looking to improve memory, prevent cognitive decline, eliminate brain fog, lift depression, or just sharpen their edge.

Lack of scientific research
I don’t know whether to give this a 2 for below average or 3 for interesting.
There were many interesting things in the book, but it lacked scientific research. Most of it felt like her personal opinion. Some of her advice follows.
All food must be organic, no GMOs. Cattle must be organic grass fed. Chickens must be raised outdoors cage free on organic food. All animals must be antibiotic and hormone free.
GMOs:
My understanding of GMOs: they are all different. Some corn is designed to make cattle get fatter faster. Other GMOs are trying to find a better tasting vegetable or one with more vitamins. Some GMOs are for better resistance to pests or pesticides. Some GMOs are for longer shelf lives. To my knowledge there are no studies that support the author’s recommendation to avoid all GMOs. She mentions no research.
Salt:
Instead of talking about how much salt to consume she says add no more than the tip of a teaspoon for the day. But the starting point is different for people depending on whether they cook or buy prepared foods. She should talk about milligrams for the day, not a tip of the teaspoon for everyone. She also recommends avoiding the commonly bought grocery store salt because it has additives. She prefers sea rock salt and pink Himalayan salt due to more minerals and no additives. But would this be undesirable? Grocery store salt might be the only way many of us get iodine in our diet. She does not discuss iodine.
Water:
She says there is debate over how much water we need. Some experts recommend eight 8-ounce glasses per day. So that is what she recommends.
She says purified water is incapable of hydrating the brain, but she has no study or research supporting that statement.
Brain neurons:
The author made confusing statements about neurons. Early in book she said neurons are irreplaceable. Later in the book she said neurons continue to grow. And later she said a reduced calory diet promotes growth of new neurons. I was intrigued with Johanna’s review. She said the 1998 study by Dr. Fred H. Gage and Peter Eriksson found that the human brain can give rise to new neurons throughout life. They also found that exercise and cognitive enrichment can increase the brain’s ability to generate more neurons. This author made no mention of this.
Blue Zones:
Blue Zones are five regions in the world where people live to be 100. They have the lowest incidence of heart disease, obesity, diabetes and dementia. I wish the author would have given a complete list of foods consumed in each area. She did not. She mentioned a few foods in each area. I did find some of the differences interesting.
Italy: fish, olive oil, coffee
Icaria, Greece: coffee
Okinawa, Japan: fish, green tea, brown rice, soy products
Costa Rica: white rice, coffee
Loma Linda California: no coffee or tea
India:
Americans are 8 times more likely to get Altzheimers than Indians. Although Indians have shorter lives. Some believe that curry spices (turmeric and cumin) are the reason for the lower rate of Alzheimers. But there haven’t been enough studies to prove it. A thought: none of the Blue Zones consume curry.

Standard line on diet. Nothing new here.
Even though I start the review saying there's nothing new here, let me be clear that I do not mean that as an endorsement of the content. Unfortunately, I was suckered into purchasing and reading/listening to this book based on how the author's qualifications were marketed. It turns out, she says nothing new about diet than what you hear in the mainstream press. Her nutritionist credentials are questionable (look them up) because the "certificate" she received comes from a place not well known for quality or cutting edge nutritionist training.
But this isn't an ad hominem based on those credentials, rather it's based on how the book is sold as the 'Surprising science' behind the diet she recommends; there's nothing surprising and very little strong science behind the recommendations. If you have never heard of the so-called Mediterranean diet (an umbrella term that proponents use to justify their eating tastes and habits, as long as it includes olive oil, fish and red wine), then this is as good an introduction as any. But be aware that nutrition science is more unclear on what she promotes than she or anyone else lets on. And nutrition science has some actually more surprising conclusions bandied about than what you find here.
She toes the line on what one is supposed to say about nutrition these days and she does nothing to challenge received wisdom.

Disappointed
After hearing the author talk in TMHS podcast I expected in depth details on various processes related to nutrition of the brain. I was disappointed when hearing only fairly superficial information, even combined with outdated advice on for example cholesterol.
Also, "the brain runs exclusively on glucose". Really?
Peanuts are not nuts...
Soy is not healthy.

not scientific
All she does is peddle unproven dietary information that you could google. Statements like "everyone knows berries is good for you" and "blank food has been long celebrated for its health benefits" without any scientific explanation or proof of said benefits. Basically the book is a lot of anecdotes. I expected a lot more from a scientist.

She didn’t know how to provide the correct answers to the main question . She talked about everything else . She did not explain what I wanted to hear. She talked to much about other things that made no sense. I did not like this book and I don’t want to keep it.

PDF REQUIERED
Chapter 18 is simply a whole load of recipes listed - this is ridiculous and really spoils the whole book which is otherwise very informative. Problem would be solved by providing a PDF of this chapter. Narrator's voice is relatively monotone and somewhat irritating.

A pdf and descriptive chapter names
PDF copy is required. Reference of images were made which is nonexistent. A pdf copy with the images.
Chapters could be named as meaningful descriptive names that summarises the chapter contents as opposed to typical 1, 2, 3.
Even in the title description this information in not given.
Narrator’s voice could be a lot more animated.
It was hard work and quite boring to listen to.
Otherwise the book is good.

This book is a very interesting nutritional book. Lisa Mosconi talks about the Mediterranean diet for longevity compared to the Western diet. She talks about processed foods such as pesticides, additives, artificial colourings, emulsizers, Trans fats and saturated fats hidden in our everyday foods. High fat organic cheese and high fat plain yoghurt is better for you than low fat cheese, as low fat cheese is full of emulsizers, veg oil, trans fats and gum powders. Drink plenty of water especially spring water or infused water instead of purified water as purified water has no nutritional value. quality foods like wild caught fish instead of farmed fish: Salmon, cod, halibut and mackerel are good for the brain. Small portion of grass fed organic beef, pasturize organic chicken. Lugumes, wholegrain foods, healthy nuts, seeds such as flaxseed and chia seeds. Some organic fruit & veg are laden with heavy pesticides. increase your omega 3. I haven't heard of Buddah bowls until now.

Too much repetition
There are some nuggets of gold in it but you really have to be patient. The pace of reading is very monotonous and then the same information is repeated.

Brilliant book not suited to audio
There are lots of references to the website, tables for f info etc. I have now purchased the paperback. The content is really good but a book is needed.

Lots of good info
There lots of useful and interesting material in this book. I found it particularly useful for somebody who already eats very well, but was looking to nuance my diet to be the best it could be. Having said that there were certain things that the author said that from my understanding are not well based in science. However, there was lots of stuff that was still very useful. The narrator was a bit monotonous and not as interesting as they could be with the read.

Story
In this revolutionary audiobook, Dr. Lisa Mosconi, director of the Women's Brain Initiative at Weill Cornell Medical College, provides women with the first plan to address the unique risks of the female brain. Until now, medical research has focused on "bikini medicine", assuming that women are essentially men with breasts and tubes. Yet women are far more likely than men to suffer from anxiety, depression, migraines, brain injuries, and strokes. They are also twice as likely to end their lives suffering from Alzheimer's disease, even when their longer lifespans are taken into account.

Story
To grow produce of the highest nutritional quality the essential minerals lacking in our soil must be replaced, but this re-mineralization calls for far more attention to detail than the simple addition of composted manure or NPK fertilizers. The Intelligent Gardener demystifies the process, while simultaneously debunking much of the false and misleading information perpetuated by both the conventional and organic agricultural movements. In doing so, it conclusively establishes the link between healthy soil, healthy food, and healthy people.
