How Nutrition Impacts Your Mental Health: Dr. Julia Rucklidge

In the latest episode of the Simply Fit Podcast, I have the pleasure of speaking with Dr Julia Rucklidge. Julia is a professor of psychology, a director of the mental health and nutrition research group at the University of Canterbury and co author of the better brain. Julia has been researching the link between mental health conditions and nutrition for over a decade and how using nutrients can be a viable cure for mental illness. This was a very interesting conversation that really emphasised the importance of our nutrition and why the traditional route of going for pills and antidepressants may not be the best approach. In this episode you can expect to learn: Why Julia believes that nutrition/supplementation can be a cure for mental illness. The issue with pharmaceuticals and what the issue is with taking them to cure mental illness’ Along with how we can adjust our diets to support our mental wellbeing.
