About this episode
After a period off work or studying, it can be difficult to get your neurons up and running again, can’t it. But you can actually get a little boost by being more selective with the foods you eat, given that nutrition plays a crucial role in brain function.

Dr. Uma Naidoo is a director of Nutritional Psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital in the US, and published bestselling book “This is Your Brain on Food” back in 2020.
