So what diet and nutrition fuels the best brain performance? Dr Joanna McMillan cuts through the nonsense, bust the myths and misconceptions and translates the extraordinary emerging science the gut-brain link, that explains just how your food choices impact your health and happiness. Each episode explains the everyday science, but also tells you exactly what you should be eating to improve your brain performance. Dr Joanna McMillan is one of Australia's favourite and most trusted health and wellbeing experts. She is a PhD qualified nutrition scientist and an accredited practising dietitian and has the natural ability to translate complex science into practical actions that will transform theory into achievement.

Like the other Audible titles from Dr Joanna McMillan, this is a down to earth discussion of how diet affects health, this time relating to brain health. I found this one slightly less engaging than Gutfull and Food Fight, but that may be because there is some overlap between the content of those two and this. Still, interesting and well evidenced discussion. A good reminder!
