What’s on for next week?
Diet quality and mental outcomes are directly linked to physiological processes.
Next week, we will unpack some of the mechanisms that explain how diet and nutrition might influence mental and brain health.
We will explore and discuss:
- the use of special diets for medical conditions
- misconceptions associated with special diets
- biological dysregulations and co-morbidities associated with mental health disorders
- roles of the immune system and the gut microbiota.
