Summary

In The Food-Mood-Body Connection, bestselling health and nutrition expert Gary Null brings nutrition-based treatment of mental health problems into the 21st century, showing how many conditions generally believed to be purely mental disorders are caused or exacerbated by the food we eat and other environmental factors. Culled from interviews with more than sixty-five top alternative practitioners, The Food-Mood-Body Connection offers the latest information on treatments that address the underlying biochemical imbalances that cause or contribute to many physiological and psychological conditions.
