Pay the Farmer, Not the Pharmacy
Mental Health, Nutrition, and the Blood Brain Barrier
The connection between nutrition, mental health, and the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a complex and fascinating area of research that highlights the importance of diet in maintaining overall brain health and psychological well-being.
The food we eat directly affects our brain function and mood. Certain nutrients are crucial for producing neurotransmitters, which regulate our mood. A balanced diet can help control inflammation, resulting in better mental health..
A healthy gut microbiome can also positively influence our brain function and mental well-being given the strong gut-brain axis. So guy nutrition is key to mental health.
But there is a Blood Brain Barrier that acts as a bouncer to our “Brain Club” only allowing selective nutrients into the brain. So it’s critical we eat the right foods that contain the “permissible” nutrients that can be absorbed. This episode explores nutrition and its relation to mental health.
