What To Eat: Balancing Plant-based "Good Mood Foods" with the Power of Protein
With Robynne Chutkan, Max Lugavere Gabrielle Lyon Uma Naidoo and Dariush Mozaffarian

When it comes to building a diet that promotes and sustains your well-being the wisdom is both ancient and modern – consistent on some things, and divergent on others. Nearly 2,500 years ago, Hippocrates was quoted saying that “all disease begins in the gut,” and while these roots run deep, the history in our own cells runs even deeper. So what does this history and deeply rooted internal connectivity have to do with deciding what to eat? Well, everything, really. In this dialogue, you’ll hear the case for animal protein and why nutrient-dense foods are essential for an optimally performing brain. You’ll hear about the case for plants – rich in their own resources of nutrients, fiber, protein, healthy fats, and phytonutrients. And it won’t just be recipes and dietary protocols – we’re going under the hood of nutritional psychiatry and getting into specific foods, how they affect our moods. Practical. Provocative. Profound. These experts aren’t just talking about what to put on your plate, they’re talking about how you deserve to feel and be, for the rest of your life. Join us.
