In this Real World Nutrition Podcast episode, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Shelley explores the connection between nutrition and mood. While last week’s episode (176) focused on how emotions influence eating habits, today’s discussion flips the perspective—showing how food impacts neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine and affects overall mood.
Shelley breaks down the science behind the gut-brain connection, explains how blood sugar fluctuations impact energy and emotions, and offers practical nutrition strategies for mood stability. Listeners will learn how omega-3s, probiotics, protein, and whole foods contribute to emotional well-being while understanding the risks of excessive caffeine, alcohol, and sugar.
She also provides an important disclaimer: while food can support mental well-being, it is not a cure for mental health conditions.
Tune in for science-backed, practical nutrition tips to help you feel your best daily!
