About this listen

A revolutionary full-body approach to relieving anxiety, from bestselling author and nutritional psychiatrist Uma Naidoo, MD

In this groundbreaking guide, Dr. Uma Naidoo presents cutting-edge research about the ways anxiety is rooted in the brain, gut, immune system, and metabolism. Drawing on the latest science on the connection between diet and anxiety, Dr. Naidoo shows us how to effectively use food and nutrition as essential tools for calming the mind.

In Calm Your Mind with Food, you’ll learn:

  • How inflammation affects everything from anxiety and depression to Alzheimer’s disease
  • How the trillions of bacteria living in your gut are key to controlling anxiety
  • The six pillars for calming the mind
  • What to eat to balance leptin, a key link between the central nervous system and metabolic processes
  • How to incorporate anxiety-busting foods into your diet, from the obscure (ashwagandha) to the ubiquitous (vitamin C)
  • The best diets for managing symptoms of anxiety and depression

Along with guidelines for creating your own personal anti-anxiety meal plan and dozens of supernutrient-forward, delicious recipes, Calm Your Mind with Food will help you boost your immunity, reduce anxiety, and enhance your overall mental well-being.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

"Once you read Dr. Uma Naidoo’s approachable, science-backed explanations of the connection between nutrition and mental health, you will forever alter your dietary choices. In her groundbreaking book, Dr. Naidoo masterfully teaches how to use food to relieve symptoms of anxiety and calm the mind."—Mark Hyman, MD, author of Young Forever

“I can’t say enough about the critical connections Dr. Uma Naidoo draws between mental health and the food we eat.

“Nutritional Psychiatry is a new discipline and Dr. Uma Naidoo is a global leader in this field. This book is a must-read for anyone who is plagued with stress and anxiety, which is essentially every one of us!”—Deepak Chopra, author of Living in the Light

Editorial Review

Eating your way to a healthier mind
As I’ve grown older and wiser I’ve started to rethink the concept of “comfort food.” And since I consumed a metric ton of sausage stuffing last month, I’m really rethinking it. Because I actually feel best, and most comforted, when I’m eating a nutritious diet (I just need to be reminded sometimes). And there’s no one better to remind me than Uma Naidoo, a nutritional psychiatrist and trained chef. In her sequel to This Is Your Brain on Food, she tackles the world’s most diagnosed mental health condition—one that she herself suffers from: anxiety. (I’ve been known to be a bit anxious myself). What Naidoo understands maybe better than anyone is that anxiety is rooted not just in our minds but in our guts. And this listen is just the inspiration I need to put the sausage stuffing behind me and start the new year with the ingredients for a healthy body and mind. Bon appétit! —Phoebe N., Audible Editor

Very Informative

This was a fantastic and informative book. Dr. Naidoo makes clear the connection, in a science-based way, between what we eat and how we feel. It’s good to know that it can be within our power to limit anxiety’s affect on us.

Calm mind with food

Enlightening, based on the purpose for which I read it — nutritional psych. It’s properly researched. Used in conjunction with my other education it will serve me well.

Not Much New Info.

It was fine and, of course, a quality work but nothing ground breaking or new as I’d hoped. Lots and lots of antidotes. If you are well read on clean eating and/or anxiety, you won’t likely benefit much. If you are a new comer, you will definitely learn lots. As with most of these books, the recipes are a bit time consuming with expensive, hard to find ingredients … I may try 1-2.

Very informative!

I liked this book very much! The author is so informative and easy to listen to. It opened my eyes to importance of what we put into our bodies. It was enlightening to learn more about the brain-gut connection. Thank you!

Interesting but not new.

The reader is excellent. The book is nonjudgmental which is nice. But honestly if you ate this way you would be depressed and broke lol. I guess you could incorporate some things but it’s always about this vegan sprouted lifestyle that few can really do. Just my opinion. Still worth a listen. I listened to the whole book and did get some good take a ways.

I started with skepticism

but the science is persuasive. I appreciate the caution around pressing for 1 size fits all, as well as promoting flavorful foods with familiar (as well as a few exotic) ingredients. The idea of a Mediterranean diet, with world flavors & recipes.

A lot I heard before, a lot I hadn’t

Some really good dietary information here that I’ve implemented in the past and has worked for me. I’ve learned more in this book I plan to also work into my days.
