"An important read for anybody who is sick of covering up the underlying problems with medications and explore non-pharmaceutical solutions." —Emeran A. Mayer, MD, Distinguished Professor at UCLA and author of The Mind Gut Connection and The Gut-Immune Connection
Achieve a balanced mood, clear thinking, and abundant energy through transformative methods based on groundbreaking research on the gut-heart-brain-axis.
Depression, anxiety, and burnout are the plague of modern times. Mental wellness issues afflict millions of people worldwide and account for billions of dollars spent on pharmaceuticals and "feel better" products. Unfortunately, most of these solutions make us feel "different" but not really "better"-and certainly not how we want to feel. Nurturing the Brain-Body-Biome is the superhighway to improve physical energy, mental acuity, and emotional well-being through nutrition, movement, and mindset.
Written by expert Psychonutritionist Dr. Shawn Talbott—a nutritional biochemist who has dedicated years of research and a dozen books to the study of nutritional psychology—Mental Fitness provides a clear, actionable path to optimize the connection across the Brain-Body-Biome and feel better naturally.
