Amy Dirks: Mental Health & How Nutrition Can Affect It | Self-improvement Atlas #2

Nutrition doesn't just affect our physical body, it also affects our brains. When we fuel our body with healthy foods and the right nutrition, it improves the quality of our sleep and keeps our brain active and alert. The question is, which food or nutrition should we choose to fuel our brain? On this episode of Self-improvement Atlas: The Personal Science Insights Podcast, host Aditi Kutty is joined by Amy Dirks, an experienced Registered Dietitian-Nutritionist with a demonstrated history of working in wellness and the sports industry. In this podcast, Amy shares her experience with her athlete clients and her friends' kids, the hierarchy of foods, tips on choosing good foods, and planning healthy meals that are good for not only our physical health but also our mental health. Aditi and Amy also discuss about how nutrition can affect our mental health and thus, personal development.
