In this powerful solo episode of Plant-Based Curious, host Diane Randall, M.A. CHC, merges raw personal storytelling with groundbreaking science to reveal how food rewires Mental Health.

Why dopamine receptors hate cheese (and love lentils + berries) for sustained   energy.  

Underrated Brain Heroes:

  • Zinc (hello, pumpkin seeds!) for neurotransmitter magic.  
  • Vitamin C in bell peppers to boost serotonin.  
  • Polyphenol powerhouses like dark chocolate that cross the blood-brain barrier.   

Actionable Bites You Can’t Skip:  

  • Diane’s 50% Plate Rule for instant meal upgrades.  
  • Why swapping coffee for chamomile tea might save your afternoon.  
  •  Brain Bowl Recipe: Sweet potato + tahini dressing = serotonin heaven.  

Why Listen?

  • No Fluff, Just Science: Cutting-edge studies made deliciously simple.  
  • Your Weekly Challenge: Add one antioxidant-rich food (think turmeric or berries) and share your creation with the community!
