Chasing the ‘perfect’ diet is a trap; which is really great news for our brand. Simon Hill, nutritionist, physiotherapist, and host of The Proof podcast, joins us in the Academy of Imperfection to break down whether the latest dietary trends on social media actually match up with nutrition science. In this episode, Simon unpacks the role of both genetics and lifestyle choices in shaping our health, and specifically our risk of disease. Acknowledging the pressure, and sometimes shame, that comes with chasing the ‘perfect’ diet, Hugh, Ryan, and Josh discuss how to encourage kids to build positive relationships with food, and the incredible significance of ‘joy’ and ‘human connection’, that occurs when we get together to eat. And then, of course, we play Simon Says and bust some food-myths about supplements, plant protein, and whether breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Simon, thank you for all that you says.

How much can a change in diet influence symptoms of mental health disorders? Why are a diversity of plants and whole foods so important to include, and ultra processed foods so important to remove? Why are inflammation and microbe diversity in the gut so key to this question? What does this research mean for the life-style medicine movement and to world food policy?In this episode we have the exploding new field of nutritional psychiatry to get to grips with, that is the way our diet can influence and even treat mental health conditions. We're going to be discussing the historical separation of mind and body by science, which has led to scepticism that diet could influence mental health outcomes; the new understanding of the importance of diversity in our microbiome and inflammation to our mood and mental state; our main topic which is going to be the radical results of recent trials showing large changes in cognitive and mental health outcomes when diet is altered; we'll get into the foods that can bring about that change and why they work; and we're going to be getting into the reasons for the broken industrialised food environment that has contributed to the current mental health epidemic in the west.Fortunately, to understand this complex new field, our guest today is the very scientist that risked her reputation to conduct the first trials, facing considerable pushback, only to shift the consensus remarkably quickly with some top science, Felice Jacka. She is the Deakin University Distinguished Professor of Nutritional Psychiatry in Melbourne, the founder and director of the Food & Mood Centre, and of the International Society of Nutritional Psychiatry; She has been cited in over 100 institutional directives for food policy including the World Health Organization and UNICEF; and she is also the author of two books on this for the general public, the children's book “There's a Zoo in my Poo” and for adults “Brain Changer: How diet can save your mental health” which we'll be covering today. Her impact has been so high on public health that in 2021 she was awarded the Order of Australia for her services to nutritional psychiatry.What we discuss:00:00 Intro08:50 The historic separation between mental and physical health. 10:35 People with mental health die about 20 years earlier. 13:30 The connection between the immune system and mental health. 16:20 New microbiome & chronic inflammation research's influence on psychiatry. 20:00 Epigenetics, mitochondria (energy generation) & neurotransmitter influences. 21:15 Gut brain axis & oxidative stress response.33:30 The SMILES trial results and their integration into the consensus. 38:30 Using the Press to shorten the usual 20 year gap between results and policy change. 43:00 Industrialised food is the leading cause of chronic disease & biodiversity loss. 45:00 ‘We're not going to tell people what to eat': the food lobby's ‘nanny state' argument. 50:00 Soil depletion and the soil microbiome. 50:50 The life-style psychiatry movement: Diet, sleep and exercise. 01:05:30 Take out ultra-processed foods - even the nutritionally balanced ones. 01:12:30 Cognitive ability and memory reduced by processed foods. 01:14:45 Nutritional and energetic equivalent foods have totally different outcomes for the microbiome. 01:19:15 Put in a variety of plants - 30 a week. 01:20:20 The mediterranean diet. 01:24:50 Polyphenol science so far. 01:27:00 Emulsifiers and artificial sugars - the mucosal lining of the gut. 01:30:15 Fermented foods - the waste products of the bacteria are beneficial.

Prof Felice Jacka – Author of Brain changer she is the professor of nutritional psychiatry and Co-Director of the Food & Mood Centre and founder and President of the International Society for Nutritional Psychiatry Research. We define what nutritional psychiatry is and talk about her now famous Smiles trial in it depressed patients saw remarkable improvements in their mental health in only 12 weeks just from improving their diets. We hear how processed foods affect the brain and our gut microbiome diversity in a negative way. We learn just how much of the standard western diet is made up of processed foods and the percentage of illnesses these foods contribute towards. Plus the trillions of dollars processed foods are costing in medical treatments globally. In addition we find out exactly what foods you should be eating to optimise your mental and physical health.

How does food affect our mood? Does diet actually impact our mental health? What is a gut micro-biome, and can we still eat a few chips without ruining it?In this Academy of Imperfection episode, we are joined one of the worlds leading experts on the relationship between what we eat, and how it effects our mental health, Professor Felice Jacka. And if can we trust anyone to get to the bottom of the vagus nerve ‘highway'; our hippocampus shrinking; our mitochondrial reaction to ultra-processed foods (don't worry we didn't know these words before either) - it's her.  There was a lot to 'digest' in this chat (so to speak), but thankfully, there is so much we can do, by making informed choices about what we put in our bodies, to improve our mental health.    See below for links & research mentioned in this episode, information on Felice and her work and extra resources:

Derogation, the way in which striking doctors can be recalled to the ward to protect patient safety, was agreed by NHS England and the BMA. Now, new data The BMJ has uncovered shows that the mechanism was rarely used - and when it was tried, was often rejected. Gareth Iacobucci explains what that means about relations between the government, the NHS, and doctors. Felice Jacka, director of the Food & Mood Centre at Deakin University, is one of the authors of our recent ultra-processed foods umbrella review - and joins the podcast to talk about the link between diet and health; and why goverments need to pay more attention to the food system. Finally, John Appleby, senior associate at the Nuffield Trust, and Gillian Leng, dean and president elect of the Royal Society of medicine, have been thinking about healthcare funding, and how more stability is essential in securing the service's future.   Reading list Hospital leaders warned that failure to recall striking doctors risked patient safety in some trusts, documents show Ultra-processed food exposure and adverse health outcomes NHS funding for a secure future   Chapters 00:31 Derogation and doctor strikes 06:59 Ultra processed food producers and health 13:59 Rethinking NHS funding

In this episode, Dr. Emily Deans discusses the field of evolutionary psychiatry and its connection to mental health. Dr. Deans is a board certified psychiatrist and writes the blog Evolutionary Psychiatry, based on the observation that our brains are healthiest when we embrace a diet and lifestyle reflecting the conditions under which we humans evolved.  Dr. Deans has presented at the Ancestral Health Symposium in 2012 and 2018 on topics related to this theme.In this discussion, we dive into what some of the recent clinical studies are telling us about the connection between food and mood disorders conditions such as depression. In particular, she reviews studies showing anti-depressive effects of a Meditarrean diet with meat, and also omega-3 supplementation.  Dr. Deans emphasizes the importance of considering individual dietary needs and preferences when implementing diet interventions in psychiatric practice. She shares success stories of patients who have experienced improvements in mood through dietary changes, including ketogenic and low-carb diets. She also highlights the connection between glucose tolerance and violent behavior, and the importance of smoothing out blood sugar response by incorporating whole foods into the diet. Dr. Deans discusses the emerging recognition within the medical profession of food's impact on mental health. She shares her approach to helping patients reduce or come off psychiatric medications, emphasizing the importance of a multifactorial approach that includes diet, exercise, and psychotherapy. Dr. Deans also discusses the potential risks and benefits of dietary changes for individuals with eating disorders. Resources:* Blog:  Evolutionary Psychology, at Psychology Today: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/evolutionary-psychiatry* Studies:* Smiles Trial (Felice Jacka et al):  https://foodandmoodcentre.com.au/smiles-trial/* ISNPR position statement on nutrition and psychiatry: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4592666/* ISNPR guidelines on the use of omega 3 fatty acids in the treatment of major depressive disorder: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31480057/* Mediterranean diet and older adults and depression over time: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4454450/* Ketogenic diet and mood and anxiety disorders:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10134254/* Microbiome and depression in mice (and cannabinoids!): https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-020-19931-2Here is a guide to topics discussed in this podcast episode:Time     Topic01:30      Introduction to Evolutionary Psychiatry and Nutritional Psychology04:32      Dr. Deans' interest in the connection between diet and mental health08:00      The evidence from observational and randomized controlled studies12:00      Felice Jacka's Smiles trial:  Adding meat to diet reduced depression19:03      Effects of single nutrients on mental health20:10      Anti-depressive benefits of omega-3 fatty acids22:22      Mental health in pre-modern populations26:43      Impact of sugar and processed carbohydrates on mood28:22      Physiological mechanisms: inflammation and mitochondrial dysfunction34:37      Using diet as a tool in clinical psychiatric practice43:20      Success stories: dietary reversal of psychosis and bipolar disorder49:12      Ketogenic and "Slow-Carb" diets for control of anxiety and panic attacks51:05      Violent behavior and poor glucose tolerance53:00      The bidirectional relationship between physical and mental health53:33      Medical profession's belated acceptance of the food-mood connection55:58      Helping patients reduce or come off of psychiatric medications58:07      Successes in reducing or stopping medications58:28      Dietary changes and eating disorders1:01:10   Current work and future plans Get full access to Ancestral Health Today Substack at ancestralhealth.substack.com/subscribe

There's been a surge in our consumption of ultra-processed foods, especially in the United Kingdom and the United States, where these foods contribute about two-thirds of people's caloric intake. Also a cause for concern is emerging evidence of ultra-processed foods' detrimental effect on our brain health and overall well-being.When most of our calories come from ultra-processed foods, the risk of chronic physical and mental health conditions escalates. Scientists are now uncovering the intricate mechanisms behind this relationship, particularly concerning the effects of these foods on our brains.In today's episode, we welcome back Prof. Felice Jacka, OAM. Felice is an Alfred Deakin professor of nutritional psychiatry and the director of the Food & Mood Centre at Deakin University, in Australia. She's also the founder of the International Society for Nutritional Psychiatry Research and the world's leading researcher on food's impact on our brain and mental health.Now, she's back on the show to delve deeper into the effects of ultra-processed foods on mental health and the brain, specifically the hippocampus, an area responsible for learning and memory.Get science-based nutrition advice straight to your inbox: https://bit.ly/44xRywMIf you want to uncover the right foods for your body, head to joinzoe.com/podcast and get 10% off your personalised nutrition program.Timecodes:00:00 Intro01:19 Quick fire questions04:17 What is ultra processed food?05:37 What is the NOVA classification?08:18 How does food impact the brain?10:33 What does the hippocampus do to influence our brain function?12:58 Is there a link between the size of the hippocampus and quality of diet?13:45 Is there a link between the quality of diet and depression?20:37 What are the effects of long term dietary habits?21:33 Is there a link between poor diet and dementia23:18 Is there a link between autism and diet?24:00 How real is the link between diet and dementia?24:57 What is the oral microbiome?28:16 New trial between whole foods and vitamin enriched nutritional foods29:28 How does processing foods impact the makeup of foods on a molecular level?32:10 How does the biodiversity around us affect our body?33:08 How does the industrialized food environment impact us?35:50 How strong is the evidence for this? is it comparable to smoking?39:12 Practical tips to help with our diet40:07 How does reducing consumption of UPF affect us?41:25 How to cut down on UPF44:04 Is it too late to change your diet?45:39 Does exercise impact our brain?47:41 Summary52:57 Goodbyes/OutroMentioned in today's episode: The SMILES trial published in BMC Medicine Ultra-Processed Food Consumption and Mental Health published in NutrientsWestern diet is associated with a smaller hippocampus also in BMC Medicine Learn more about Felice on the Food & Mood Centre's website.Follow Felice on

Professor Felice Jacka's love of food led her to question whether what we put in our mouths everyday affects more than our waistline. Felice set out on a journey of discovery to change the status quo and uncover the truth through rigorous science. Beginning her PhD in 2005, she examined the association between women's diets and their mental health, focusing on depression and anxiety. What Felice found fundamentally changes the way we think about mental and brain health, and the importance of the nutrition-mental health link. Brain Changer explains how and why we should consider our food as the basis of our mental and brain health throughout our lives. It includes a selection of recipes featuring ingredients beneficial to mental health. It also highlights the practical things we can do to help prevent mental health problems in the first place, and offers strategies for treating these problems if they do arise. This is not a diet book to help you on the weight scales. This is a guide to good habits to save your brain, improve the lives of future generations, and to optimise your mental and brain health at every stage of life. About the Author Professor Felice Jacka is director of the Food & Mood Centre at Deakin University in Australia, founder and president of the International Society for Nutritional Psychiatry Research, and immediate past-president of the Australian Alliance for the Prevention of Mental Disorders.

We've all felt the effects of food on our mood, so it would stand to reason that dietary intervention for mental health would be well studied and a regularly deployed treatment.  But this is far from reality, as historically, psychiatry was only concerned with what happened from the neck up. In today's episode, Jonathan is joined by https://foodandmoodcentre.com.au/team/felice-jacka/ (Felice Jacka), Professor of Nutritional Psychiatry and Director of the Food & Mood Centre at Deakin University. Felice was the driving force behind the landmark study to determine if dietary intervention could help treat the symptoms of moderate to severe depression.  With her help, we dive into what the science suggests regarding the relationship between food and our mental health and what foods we can eat to improve it.  If you want to uncover the right foods for your body, head to http://joinzoe.com/podcast (joinzoe.com/podcast) and get 10% off your personalized nutrition program.

Cérebro e Vegetais, por Dra Juliana Gomes Pereira @psiquiatrajulianagomes Médica Psiquiatra Geral, Infância e Adolescência. Atendimentos particulares por vídeo e presenciais. CRM-SP 127.410-RQE 29339-1/2 Eu sempre posto foto do que como com esta legenda para aumentar a divulgação da informação de que o que comemos interfere em como nos sentimos e é extensa a literatura que documenta este dado. Os neurotransmissores que promovem bem-estar são sintetizados a partir das fibras que consumimos do intestino para o cérebro. No entanto, é recente na medicina esta informação. A primeira metanalise sobre o tema, que é um estudo mais robusto em termos de qualidade de evidência científica, foi feito por Felice Jacka, em 2017 e assim sucessivamente estamos vendo como tem impacto nos transtornos mentais (ansiedade, depressão, pânico, bipolaridade, transtorno do déficit de atenção e hiperatividade, autismo, transtorno obsessivo-compulsivo e principalmente na Doença de Alzheimer. Outro estudo muito relevante foi feito com 100.000 adolescentes e encontrou associação entre consumo de fast food e tentativa de suicídio. O livro Médicos na Cozinha foi feito por um grupo de profissionais da saúde preocupados em promover melhora do estilo de vida e através de seus estudos, identificaram que os médicos também comem mal, não sabem cozinhar e não sabem orientar seus pacientes como otimizar a logística de aumentarem o consumo de vegetais em sua dieta. Escreveram um livro com este objetivo de informar e ampliar esta ação médica, capaz de produzir grande impacto na promoção de saúde através destes ensinamentos a serem feitos nas consultas de rotina. Hipócrates, o pai da medicina, já dizia: “Faça do alimento o seu remédio”. Sabemos que a medicina avançou de tal maneira que hoje temos medicamentos muito valiosos e que mudaram a história natural da doença para uma melhor qualidade de vida em muitas condições, mas sabemos que se consumirmos mais vegetais, com certeza precisaremos de menos remédios e que sim, a qualidade dos congelados é preservada, o que facilita muito o acesso a estes alimentos.

“Half of all mental disorders start before the age of 14, you want to get in and prevent them before they start and that means making sure that kids are getting the right nutrition and physical activity and obviously when they get into adolescence not smoking.” Dr. Felice Jacka, Director of The Food and Mood Center and founder and president of the International Society for Nutritional Psychiatry Research has dedicated her career researching nutritional psychiatry as well creating programs to mobilize change in our food environment. One of her many goals is to teach the role that lifestyle medicine can play in preventing mental health disorders. With a strong statistics background Dr. Jacka understands how important the role of quality research; intervention studies and meta analysis; will be in influencing change in the clinical practice setting and was part of one of the first studies looking at dietary intervention and depressive symptoms. “What gets me out of bed in the morning and keeps me doing this with such passion and zeal is the need to address the food environment and the fury I feel that big business has been allowed to sacrifice the health of the people and the planet right across the globe in the pursuit of profits, unimpeded” In our discussion we cover so many interesting areas: Treatment guidelines for mental health disorders: early focus lifestyle medicine Nutrition education for physicians Gut microbiota and its relationship to our mental health. Gut health: why variety of foods matters Setting up a healthy food environment for your kids with specific practical examples!

We used to think that our brain and gut connection were sending each other a single message from one to the other but now we know that they are actually sending four messages for every single one. The gut and the brain are constantly communicating with each other. So, when our gut is unhealthy, where 95% of our serotonin and 50% of our dopamine is made, then our brain becomes unhealthy too. We're eating three times a day and if we're eating inflammatory foods we are creating an inflammatory environment three times a day not only in our gut but also in our brain. - Autumn Smith   What simple dietary changes can create positive health results for your body's unique needs?   Get 15% off your CURED Nutrition order with the code WELLNESSFORCE   ---> Get The Morning 21 System: A simple and powerful 21 minute system designed to give you more energy to let go of old weight and live life well.   JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | *REVIEW THE PODCAST*   Wellness Force Radio Episode 352 Co-founder of Paleovalley, Co-Founder of Wild Pastures, and co-host of the top-ranked Optimize Paleo Podcast, Autumn Smith, returns to Wellness Force to explore how we can heal the brain with food, common gut-brain issues, the three foundational steps to a healthier you, and why we should nourish ourselves seasonally.   Discover why so many of us are experiencing poor mental health during this enforced lockdown and what nutrients can help you heal mentally, physically, and emotionally.   Listen To Episode 352 As Autumn Smith Uncovers:   [1:30] Getting To The Root Of Gut-Brain Issues Autumn Smith WFR 135 Autumn Smith Paleovalley Wild Pastures ‎Optimize Paleo Podcast by Paleovalley The incredible personal story of Autumn's background and her life before Paleovalley and becoming a certified eating psychology coach.

BREATHE M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community   Power Quotes From The Show   Autumn's Three Foundational Health Steps "There are three foundational steps that I like to teach people to help heal their gut and brain when inflammation is present. Find the inflammation, make sure that your nutrient bases are covered, stabilize your blood sugar, and on top of all of that, get some tests done. It's about finding your specific imbalances and then getting the assistance to make some real positive life changes." - Autumn Smith   Creating Discussions Around Nutrient Deficiencies "Many of us are facing nutrient deficiencies and we're not talking enough about what we should be eating. We're all talking about eliminating gluten, soy, dairy, and whatever else and that is great and can be very empowering for a lot of people. However, the bigger picture that we all miss is, 'What are we eating?' and 'Is this enough to sustain us?' because we need to think about how to aid our brain chemicals. That protein you eat is becoming your neurotransmitters. So, if we're not getting enough protein or if the body is unable to digest it, then it will manifest into nutrient deficiencies." - Autumn Smith     The Golden Ticket To Your Perfect Diet "What it all comes down to in creating the perfect diet for you is listening to your intuition and your body because you are the only person who can design it. Don't eat something just because an expert tells you to if you don't like that food. Also if something is working for you today it might not necessarily work for you tomorrow or in the next season. We have to eat in tune with our environment and our life circumstances. There will be times where you experience seasons of nourishment that you need to move through, question, stay aware, and know that your body is going to give you the feedback that you need unless your metabolism has been hijacked with really, really processed foods. Once you tune in and heal what needs your attention, that's going to be your golden ticket to the perfect diet." - Autumn Smith     Links From Today's Show  Autumn Smith WFR 135 Autumn Smith Wild Pastures ‎Optimize Paleo Podcast by Paleovalley The #1 Nutrient to Boost Your Mental Health 345 Dr. Zach Bush Gluten Triggers Strange Delusions in Woman with Celiac Disease The Baffling Connection Between Vegetarianism and Depression Julia Ross' Cures Felice Jacka Junk Food May Increase Depression Risk Healthy Eating for Growing Bodies & Minds EP211: Getting Kids to Care About Healthy Food (& Eat It Too) with Katie Kimball Greens Every Day Keeps Your Brain 11 Years Younger 341 Josh Clemente  103 Robb Wolf 275 Paul Chek  The End of Alzheimer's: The First Program to Prevent and Reverse Cognitive Decline by Dale Bredesen Cronometer 252 Harpreet Rai Trace Elements Morley Robbins aka Magnesium Man Michael Pollan 311 Mark Wolynn Leave Wellness Force a review on iTunes BREATHE M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Paleovalley Facebook Instagram   About Autumn Smith Autumn Smith has been a health enthusiast her entire life. She began her academic career with a Bachelor's degree in psychology and a minor in dance from the University of Montana. Upon graduation, Autumn danced professionally while becoming a certified yoga instructor. Hoping to combine her love of dance with her passion for health, Autumn became a celebrity fitness trainer with Tracy Anderson, most notably completing a world tour with Jennifer Lopez. Autumn & Paleyvalley's Mission While working as a fitness trainer, Autumn could see that exercise alone was not enough for many of her clients to achieve the radiant health they worked so hard to achieve. Meanwhile, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and anxiety continued to plague her personal health, starting in adolescence. These frustrations further ignited her passion and interest in the study of holistic nutrition. Through self-guided research, she and her husband, Chas, healed her IBS with the paleo diet. She then studied with the Institute for the Psychology of Eating to become a Certified Eating Psychology Coach and Hawthorn University where she obtained a Masters in Holistic Nutrition. In 2013, she founded Paleo valley with her husband and brother-in-law. Paleo valley’s mission is to disseminate excellent nutritional information and organic food products with 100 million people worldwide.   Try Paleovalley's Turkey & Grass Fed Beef Sticks Get 15% off Paleovalley's tryptophan-rich Pasture-Raised Turkey Stick and Grass Fed Beef Stick with the code JOSH Paleovalley's Pasture-Raised Turkey Stick Our Pasture-Raised Turkey Sticks are made with happy, healthy turkeys – none of this "cage free" or "free range" trickery here. Pasture-raised animals living a natural life are, not surprisingly, much healthier and contain higher levels of vitamins and minerals. They also have a much more favorable omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acid ratio which is important because when omega-6 levels are too high inflammation is often the result.   With such high quality ingredients we didn't want to degrade the product in the processing. While most snack stick products contain a health-damaging ingredient called encapsulated citric acid, we naturally ferment our sticks which results in a delicious, shelf stable product with the presence of gut-friendly probiotics.     Paleovalley's Grass Fed Beef Sticks Our 100% Grass Fed Beef Sticks are made beef from happy, healthy cows. They are NEVER fed grains. Unlike most companies using the term "grass fed" even though their products are NOT grass finished - we actually care about the quality of life the animals enjoy. Truly pasture-raised cows are, not surprisingly, much healthier than grain fed cows and contain higher levels of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They also have a much more favorable omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acid ratio which is important because when omega-6 levels are too high inflammation is often the result.   With such high quality ingredients we didn't want to degrade the product in the processing. While most snack stick products contain a health-damaging ingredient called encapsulated citric acid, we naturally ferment our sticks which results in a delicious, shelf stable product with the presence of gut-friendly probiotics.

I had a super insightful conversation with my lovely friend Annabel this week all about eating mindfully and healing holistically. The topic of health often becomes intertwined with toxic diet culture and a negative 'envisioned' body image, when we should be focusing on eating to nourish our bodies, and exercising to feel strong and positive. Annabel loves studying nutrition, and learning how feeding our gut wholesome nutrients directly influences our mentality. We also discuss the importance of making plant based eating more accessible and enjoyable so that an increased population can experience the wide ranging physical benefits, as well as contributing to collectively aiding our planetary health. Annabel reacted particularly badly to glandular fever during her gap year, and this inspired a deeper interest in health and wellness, as well as an investigation into holistic therapies, including; craneosacral therapy, reflexology and kinesiology. We finish the episode by discussing the importance of making sustainable lifestyle changes to allow healthy habits to remain truly present for the rest of our lives. We really hope you enjoy!Mentioned:Couch to 5km: https://www.c25kfree.comDeliciously Ella: https://deliciouslyella.comHow to Fail with Elizabeth Day: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/how-to-fail-with-elizabeth-day/id1407451189How to Fail with Elizabeth Day - Deliciously Ella Episode is Season 7 - BONUS EPISODE.How Not to Die by Michael Greger.Brain Changer: How Diet Can Save Your Mental Health by Felice Jacka.Follow my Journey: https://www.instagram.com/healingwithtorzi/Follow Annabel: https://www.instagram.com/foodieannabel/*This episode was recorded remotely, so I apologise for any audio issues!Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/that-healing-feeling.

It’s a human tendency to feel irritable if the body goes too long without eating. But Dr. Felice Jacka’s research indicates our relationship with food is much deeper. Dr. Jacka is the author of Brain Changer: The Good Mental Health Diet and a psychiatric epidemiologist from Australia’s Deakin University, where she runs the Food and Mood Centre. And she’s almost single-handedly created one of the hottest fields in wellness today: the area of nutritional psychiatry, which suggests that our food choices may be able to lift the symptoms of depression, as well as other mental illnesses.

A thought-provoking discussion with Prof Felice Jacka, author of Brain Changer: The latest cutting edge science on how diet can affect your risk of anxiety and depression, and influence the health of your brain. We also talk about mental health-related diet and lifestyle tips, the gut microbiome and fermented foods to improve mental health and so much more.     Bio:    Professor Felice Jacka is Director of the Food & Mood Centre at Deakin University in Australia, founder and president of the International Society for Nutritional Psychiatry Research, and immediate past-president of the Australian Alliance for the Prevention of Mental Disorders. She holds Honorary Principal Research Fellow appointments at the Centre for Adolescent Health, Murdoch Children's Research Centre, and the Black Dog Institute. Professor Jacka's current research focuses closely on the links between diet, gut health and mental and brain health.   You feel how you eat.   Professor Felice Jacka's love of food led her to question whether what we put in our mouths every day affects more than our waistline. Felice set out on a journey of discovery to change the status quo and uncover the truth through rigorous science. Beginning her PhD in 2005, she examined the association between women's diets and their mental health, focusing on depression and anxiety.   What Felice found fundamentally changes the way we think about mental and brain health, and the importance of the nutrition-mental health link.   Her book, Brain Changer explains how and why we should consider our food as the basis of our mental and brain health throughout our lives. It includes a selection of recipes featuring ingredients beneficial to mental health. It also highlights the practical things we can do to help prevent mental health problems in the first place and offers strategies for treating these problems if they do arise.     This is not a diet book to help you on the weight scales. This is a guide to good habits to save your brain, improve the lives of future generations, and to optimise your mental and brain health at every stage of life.   Topics discussed:   Prof Jacka’s mental health challenge The link between nutrition and common mental disorders Pyscho- immunology Neuroscience Hippocampus, Mental Health and Diet Quality of Diet and Mood A review of epidemiological studies around the world Early life nutrition and emotional health Diet: a leading cause of premature death in men Mental Disorders: Leading societal disability burden Depression response to medication and treatment Diet and reduced risk of depression Diet quality and hippocampal volume Randomised Control Trial and Intervention Study Challenges The Smiles Trial Challenges Social and Dietary Support for Depression The Smiles Trial Results- First step to Nutritional Psychiatry https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30591059 Cost-saving of treating depression with diet Diet, exercise and giving up smoking International guideline for lifestyle psychiatry Dietary strategies to improve mental health Vegetable diversity and fibre Olive oil and Fish The problem of Ultra-processed foods Gut and Brain Health Sleep Quality and Mental health Obesity and mental health Adoption by the medical community What is step Zero in Nutritional psychiatry? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31480057 The influence of “Big Food" Risk factors and lower lifespan of people with major psychotic disorders Other risk facts impact depressed cohort “Lifestyle medicine" Preventing depression in kids Creating the right environment through policy Food marketing and Big Food Protecting the health of our children: mental and cognitive Felice’s depression and anxiety disorder The impact of exercise on sleep and mental health The flow-on effect of improving diet Cooking and preparing food Professor Ted Dinan podcast- experts on Gut-Brain Axis https://podcast.nourishmeorganics.com.au/professor-ted-dinan-on-the-psychobiotic-revolution-mood-food-and-the-new-science-of-the-gut-brain-connection Modulating the Gut Microbiome for Mental Health Diet - a key driver of gut microbiota composition The significance of plant foods for gut microbiota modulation Your gut needs a diversity of fibre, polyphenols and good fats “ Eat real food, not too much, mostly plants" Short-chain fatty acids, fibre, the immune system, G-protein coupled receptors and epigenetic activation https://www.nature.com/scitable/topicpage/gpcr-14047471/ Gut Microbiome diversity and mucin degrading bacteria Loss of microbiome species and associated risks Neurotransmitters and the microbiome Tryptophan, GABA and serotonin Milk Kefir and GABA Fermented Foods and Metabolites The impact of fermented foods RCTs on fermented foods as a treatment for anxiety and depression Functional Peptides and Kefir Fermented Food and Mental health Study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30415609 Book: Brain Changer: The latest cutting edge science on how diet can affect your risk of anxiety and depression, and influence the health of your brain https://www.nourishmeorganics.com.au/products/brain-changer-the-good-mental-health-diet-by-prof-felice-jacka Felice’s top tip for gut health and mental health   Brought to you by:   Nourishme Organics- The Gut Health Superstore   Milk kefir is an amazing fermented food that may improve mental health.

We all know that a poor diet negatively impacts our physical health. In fact, it is now the leading cause of early death in men and number two in women. But it’s not only our physical health that is affected – the effects on our mental health can also be devastating. This week, I am joined by world leading expert in the field of nutritional psychiatry, Professor Felice Jacka, to discuss her ground-breaking research into the link between food and our mental health. We discuss why lifestyle medicine should be the starting point for many mental health conditions and why there is an urgent need to train medical practitioners to give such lifestyle advice. We delve into the important role the gut microbiome plays in this area and how a diet rich in diversity is key. We also talk about the link between a mother’s diet in pregnancy and their child’s emotional health. At a time where the modern food environment is so broken and depression and anxiety are on the rise, this conversation is more important than ever. It really is a fascinating listen – I hope you enjoy it!Show notes available at https://drchatterjee.com/brainchangerFollow me on instagram.com/drchatterjee/Follow me on facebook.com/DrChatterjee/Follow me on twitter.com/drchatterjeeukDISCLAIMER: The content in the podcast and on this webpage is not intended to constitute or be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

A combination of Professor Felice Jacka's love of food and her own experience of depression and anxiety as a young woman led her to question whether what we put in our mouths everyday affects more than our waistline. Felice set out on a journey of discovery to change the status quo and uncover the truth through rigorous science. Beginning her PhD in 2005, she examined the association between women's diets and their mental health, focusing on depression and anxiety. She soon discovered - you feel how you eat. It is Professor Jacka's ground-breaking research that has now changed the way we think about mental and brain health in relation to diet. Brain Changer explains how and why we should consider our food as the basis of our mental and brain health throughout our lives. It includes a selection of recipes and meal plans featuring ingredients beneficial to mental health. It also includes the simple, practical solutions we can use to help prevent mental health problems in the first place and offers strategies for treating these problems if they do arise. This is not a diet book to help you on the weight scales. This is a guide to good habits to save your brain and to optimise your mental health through what you eat at every stage of life.

Is there a proven link between our diets and our mental health? Could our diets be connected to the rise of anxiety and depression? Are there foods that boost your mood? Can we really eat for happiness? How does your gut health play into your mental health? We’re joined today by Felice Jacka, who gives us a clear insight into the most recent science, definitively answering whether there is a proven link between diet and mental health and separating myth from fact. We look at all the key questions posed above, as well as the role of our gut and our immune system, the relevance of pregnancy nutrition, the extent to which what we eat as children can impact on us later on and answer all your questions on sugar, caffeine, supplements and alcohol.

My guest is Professor Felice Jacka. Felice is a Psychiatric Epidemiologist working in the new field of Nutritional Psychiatry, which she helped to establish. Her PhD was the first to examine the impact of overall dietary intake (as opposed to individual foods or supplements) on mental health risk and she lead the SMILES trial, a ground-breaking randomised controlled trial using dietary improvement as a treatment for depression. In the episode Felice gives a behind the scenes look at what it was like conducting that research and the reaction from the international science community, and helps shed some light on some nutrition myths.

I really enjoyed this online conversation with Professor Felice Jacka from the Deakin University School of Medicine and Food and Mood Centre about how food effects our mental health and what clinicians and patients can do about it.  We reviewed the SMILES trial, a randomised control trial showing healthy food choices like the Mediterranean diet can produce remission in people with major depression disorder, which foods are good and bad for our mental health and the suspected mechanisms of action. And a lot more!

There is chronic, worldwide lack of funding available for research into the impact of diet and lifestyle on mood, behaviour and mental health. Prof Felice Jacka has pioneered an innovative program of research that examines how individuals’ diets and other lifestyle behaviours interact with the risk for mental health problems. Prof Jacka is currently leading the first randomised controlled trial to examine the impact of dietary improvement in patients with major depression, known as "The Smiles Trial" and later this month she will be presenting these research findings at the 2017 Australasian College of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine (ACNEM) conference in Melbourne.
