@CookWithDrBrooke: Nutritional Psychiatry

About this episode

Psychiatrist Brooke Resch, M.D. discusses the role of nutrition in mental health and debunks myths about nutritional psychiatry.

About one-fourth of U.S. adults have a diagnosed mental health disorder, such as depression, anxiety or ADHD. And with the everyday stress of life, even people who don't have a diagnosis may be looking for a way to find some relief. Can we find a solution on our plates? Is nutrition an effective way to treat mental health? On this episode of On Nutrition, psychiatrist Brooke Resch, M.D., a nutrition influencer who goes by @CookWithDrBrooke online, shares her take on nutritional psychiatry myths and how patients can translate nutrition information into real-life meals while dealing with real-life limitations.
