93 - My Diet Made Me Depressed (+ Other Psychology Stories) ft. Kimberley Wilson

Can the food we eat make you a healthier, less toxic individual? (+ help you live longer)? Do prisoners commit crimes because of what they eat? Is the food we are eating fuelling a mental health crisis?  In today’s episode, Louise is joined by Kimberley Wilson, chartered psychologist and author of 'Unprocessed: How The Food We Eat is Fuelling our Mental Health Crisis' . Prepare to be amazed by the intricate web of connections between nutrition, behavior, and mental health. As Louise and Kimberley navigate through the diverse topics discussed, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the critical role that food plays in shaping our well-being. The pair discuss: The impact of nutritional deficiencies in early life The connection between prisoners, aggression, and mineral and vitamin deficiencies The limited genetic influence on Alzheimer's disease risk The early onset of Alzheimer's and its hidden progression Mexico's obesity rates surpassing the United States and the link to Coca Cola The importance of incorporating more beans into our diet (yes, really) Louise also shares her own personal experience around how being a ‘bad’ vegan led her to getting her gut tested using an Organic Acid Test at a biohacking clinic in London. It helped her understand how the food she was eating wasn’t providing her with the right building blocks to create dopamine. Cue: depression. –––––––––––––––––––––––– 40% OFF YOUR HEALING GIRL OUTFIT WITH LILYBOD This episode is sponsored by Lilybod.
