About this listen

In this episode of Sound Living, Dr Mike Banna is joined by chartered psychologist and author Kimberley Wilson to explore the intricate connections between lifestyle, nutrition, and mental health. They discuss how this evidence-based conversation goes beyond simplistic notions of well-being, delving into the complex interplay between our dietary choices and brain function.

Drawing on insights from her book, How to Build a Healthy Brain, Kimberley explains how nutrition significantly influences behaviour and cognitive function, drawing on her experiences in high-pressure environments such as prisons as compelling examples. She also examines how societal structures and systemic barriers shape our dietary choices, advocating for both individual lifestyle adjustments and the development of compassionate, supportive public health policies.
