With the link between brain function and nutrition a hot topic, it makes a great deal of common sense to, at least, review the science and read about successes. Nutritional psychiatrist Ramsey (Fifty Shades of Kale, 2013) goes more than a few steps further. He explains the top 12 beneficial nutrients in detail, from folate to zinc, along with their roles in promoting the brain's neuroplasticity. Much space is devoted to not only the science behind such concepts as the antidepressant food scale, but also how to overcome challenges and other general questions. What if there are food allergies? Won't vitamin supplements suffice? Isn't red meat bad for the heart? Knowing those answers leads to reinforcing how best to embark on this eating program: identifying motivations and goals, setting up the kitchen and pantry, then introducing the six-week plan and almost 30 recipes, separated by five food types: leafy greens, rainbows, seafood, nuts/seeds/legumes, and good microbiome bugs. Dish names intrigue: turkey zucchini skillet lasagna, coconut-ginger lentil soup, kimchi pancake. The apt conclusion? Food is medicine. Includes resources and notes.
