About this episode

Today we’re exploring the impact that ultra-processed foods have on our brain. We often think of nutrition in terms of physical health - things like obesity, heart disease, or diabetes. However, what we eat also plays a crucial role in our mental health, influencing mood, cognition, and even our risk for conditions like depression.
