How to Feed Your Brain with Harvard-Trained Experts Dr. Srini and Dr. Uma

Does splurging on late-night takeout quietly rewire your brain like a drug? Are your nutritional choices building resilience and longevity, or quietly feeding inflammation, burnout, and creeping disease? If you’re done with extreme diet dogma and want a science-backed way to eat for your brain and your future—this one’s for you. In today’s special episode, I'm thrilled to be here with two incredible Harvard-Trained Doctors and dear friends: Dr. Srini Pillay , psychiatrist, brain scientist, and musician, and Dr. Uma Naidoo , a pioneering nutritional psychiatrist, chef, and best-selling author known for her “mood food” creations. In this episode with a couple of brilliant docs, you'll hear: How to enjoy treats like chocolate cake and hot dogs guilt-free without sending yourself into a shame spiral The story of a patient who transformed his mental health by changing one daily habit before breakfast How art, poetry, and music can rewire your brain and support longevity just as powerfully as diet and exercise The shocking truth about women’s health research , and how nutritional psychiatry is finally starting to close the gap Dr. Uma, Srini and I are hosting in-person retreats coming up in the weeks and months ahead, and we'd love for you to join us.
