Professor Felice Jacka
About this listen
A combination of Professor Felice Jacka's love of food and her own experience of depression and anxiety as a young woman led her to question whether what we put in our mouths every day affects more than our waistline.
Felice set out on a journey of discovery to change the status quo and uncover the truth through rigorous science. Beginning her PhD in 2005, she examined the association between women's diets and their mental health, focusing on depression and anxiety.
She soon discovered - you feel how you eat. It is Professor Jacka's groundbreaking research that has now changed the way we think about mental and brain health in relation to diet.
Brain Changer explains how and why we should consider our food as the basis of our mental and brain health throughout our lives. It includes a selection of recipes and meal plans featuring ingredients beneficial to mental health.
It also includes the simple, practical solutions we can use to help prevent mental health problems in the first place and offers strategies for treating these problems if they do arise.
This is not a diet book to help you on the weight scales. This is a guide to good habits to save your brain and to optimise your mental health through what you eat at every stage of life.

An important book for everyone!
Authoritative and softly asserted advice for everyone. Highly recommended, particularly for those suffering with mental health issues and bowel diseases, such as Crohn's.

Great book, love the science
I found this book really insightful especially with all of the evidence base to back up a lot of the concepts. I found the narration engaging and better than many other audiobooks. Definitely one for those who want science-backed nutrition information.

Bad re autism and ADHD
When it started blurting out how obese parents around time of birth play a part in autism and ADHD I wanted to burn this book. idiotic and placing blame on parents as usual as if they do not have enough to deal with. I was slim around my pregnancies so not true in my experience. so much written shit to sift through, written by professors who don't see the effect on real life people of their lump research!
