درباره این اپیزود
Our guest in this episode is Prof. Timothy Dinan, Emeritus Professor of Psychiatry and a Principal Investigator in the Alimentary Pharmabiotic Centre at University College Cork (UCC). Prof. Dinan has built a distinguished career in psychiatry and neuroscience, making major contributions to uncovering how gut microbiota influence mental health.
In this episode, we explore the gut–brain connection and the impact of food & nutrition on mental health, showing how lifestyle choices shape both mental well-being and ageing.
He explains why stress is a major risk factor for anxiety and depression, highlights the power of the Mediterranean diet, fermented foods and Fish (EPA & DHA), and cautions against excess red meat, alcohol and drug use. We discuss why vigorous, weight-bearing exercise is essential for muscle strength, longevity and mental well-being, why most nutrients should come from whole foods rather than supplements, and how a positive attitude can dramatically improve resilience and quality of life.
