Learn how food can affect your mood and mental health, not just physical health! My guest, David Wiss, Ph.D., is a registered dietitian, mental health researcher, and the founder of the Wise Mind Nutrition app.

Dr. Wiss has studied the intersection of nutrition and mental health. In his private practice, Nutrition in Recovery, he provides nutrition education to people recovering from substance use disorder.

We chat about the gut-brain connection, and how what we eat can help us stabilize our moods and give us more energy. Dr. Wiss also details how food choices can affect depression.

We also discussed the concept of rigidity and the need for more nuance within the nutrition field. You can read his blog post about this topic here: “How I Overcame the Rigidity of My Mind and the Toxicity of the Nutrition Profession.”

David’s Wise Mind Nutrition app is designed for people with mental health issues like anxiety disorder, depression, ADHD, OCD, and substance use disorder. Using a non-diet approach, the app is designed to help one’s symptoms improve over time.
