Sometimes it hides in insomnia, gut issues, brain fog, and a body that feels “wired but tired.” In this episode, Dr. Phil talks with nutritional psychiatrist and trained chef Dr. Uma Naidoo about the science behind nutritional psychiatry using food and nutrients alongside therapy and medication to support mental well-being. Dr. Phil and Dr. Naidoo break down the gut–brain connection in plain language: how chronic stress can disrupt the microbiome, increase inflammation, and intensify anxiety and depression symptoms. Dr. Naidoo also explains why anxiety surged during the pandemic and why it hasn’t fully dropped back down pointing to ongoing stress, uncertainty, and the way modern eating patterns can keep the nervous system on edge. Based on Dr. Naidoo’s work and books including This Is Your Brain on Food and Calm Your Mind with Food this conversation is a science-forward guide for anyone who wants a better mood, better sleep, and a brain that feels more in control.
