Brain Food

The Surprising Science of Eating for Cognitive Power

By: Lisa Mosconi PhD

Narrated by: Norah Tocci

Dr. Lisa Mosconi, whose research spans an extraordinary range of specialties including brain science, the microbiome, and nutritional genomics, notes that the dietary needs of the brain are substantially different from those of the other organs, yet few of us have any idea what they might be. Her innovative approach to cognitive health incorporates concepts that most doctors have yet to learn. Busting through advice based on pseudoscience, Dr. Mosconi provides recommendations for a complete food plan, while calling out noteworthy surprises, including why that paleo diet you are following may not be ideal, why avoiding gluten may be a terrible mistake, and how simply getting enough water can dramatically improve alertness.

Including comprehensive lists of what to eat and what to avoid, a detailed quiz that will tell you where you are on the brain health spectrum, and 24 mouth-watering brain-boosting recipes that grow out of Dr. Mosconi's own childhood in Italy, Brain Food gives us the ultimate plan for a healthy brain. Brain Food will appeal to anyone looking to improve memory, prevent cognitive decline, eliminate brain fog, lift depression, or just sharpen their edge.

Very inspiring and super informative

This is your nutrition science book in plain English including recipes and useful tips for sustainable brain healthy foods

Voice

Sounds like a computer reading this. The content is good and so important but the digital voice makes it hard to listen to.

Voice over choice questionable

The voice over is awful! Ready to put me asleep. Got through the book at 1.2 speed. Content good but somewhat repetitive. Wonder if it would have been a different experience with a difference voice narrator.

Smart foods for healthy brains!

excellent research by an absolutely brilliant scientist! I'm so glad I invested the time to listen to all the information to give my brain its best shot at thriving, from now until I'm 150+. highly recommend!

Good info, but very repetitive.

Good info, but very repetitive. More words per Audible requirement, seriously. Another, more and more and more.
