Think clearer and feel calmer with these 7 food strategies from neuroscientist Dr Miguel Toribio-Mateas

What we eat, and how we eat, can have a profound effect on our brain health, even influencing depression, anxiety and ADHD. Today, we’re unpacking simple food strategies that can support your nervous system, with a big focus on the gut-brain connection. And I have the pleasure of chatting with Dr Miguel Toribio-Mateas to explore this topic. He’s a clinical neuroscientist, nutrition researcher and author of the brilliant new book ‘ADHD Body and Mind: A Compassionate Guide to Rewilding Your Nervous System’. He also has a fantastic way of bringing together brain health and delicious, practical food. We cover 👇 • Why combining foods can unlock more benefits than eating them on their own • The shift from “more fibre” to “more variety of fibre” • Everyday foods your gut microbes thrive on that most of us under-eat • Why how you eat matters just as much as what’s on your plate • The surprising impact even mild dehydration can have on focus and mood • Easy ways to upgrade meals you’re already eating, even on low-energy days This conversation will leave you inspired to cook your way to a healthier brain. And stick around for Miguel’s slightly unusual approach to using a slow cooker to maximise the nutritional value of his food. ​​ Dr Miguel’s socials https://drmiguelmateas.com/ https://thecreativescientist.substack.com/ http://instagram.com/drmiguelmateas Hope you enjoy!
