Dr. Lisa Mosconi, whose research spans an extraordinary range of specialties including brain science, the microbiome, and nutritional genomics, notes that the dietary needs of the brain are substantially different from those of the other organs, yet few of us have any idea what they might be.
Her innovative approach to cognitive health incorporates concepts that most doctors have yet to learn. Busting through advice based on pseudoscience, Dr. Mosconi provides recommendations for a complete food plan, while calling out noteworthy surprises, including why that paleo diet you are following may not be ideal, why avoiding gluten may be a terrible mistake, and how simply getting enough water can dramatically improve alertness.
Dr. Mosconi joins host Lisa Davis to discuss:
- What you can do to prevent Alzheimer’s disease.
- The most beneficial foods necessary to maintain brain health.
- Why we need to revise our perception of a nutritious diet.
- Why there is so much confusion about food and the brain.
- How your gut health affects your brain.
