Summary
Details

Nourish Your Brain, Heal Your Mind - One Meal at a Time

Mental wellness begins in the kitchen. The Brain Plate is a practical, research-based guide to using whole foods and nutritional supplements to support cognitive function, emotional balance, and overall mental wellness.

This isn't a fad diet. It's a sustainable, evidence-based approach to supporting emotional balance, clearer thinking, and stronger resilience-through everyday meals.

If you've ever wondered how nutrition impacts anxiety, depression, or ADHD symptoms, this book gives you the answers-and the tools to act on them. Bonus? You'll find yourself thinking more clearly with better overall mood and energy when you put these tools into place.

Inside You'll Discover:

A deep dive into how key nutrients support brain health, including the role of amino acids, omega-3s, antioxidants, and neurotransmitter pathways like GABA and NMDA. A complete 4-week meal plan designed to optimize brain function-quick to prepare, easy to adapt, and approved by real families. Nutritionally balanced recipes that work for gluten-free, dairy-free, and plant-based lifestyles, with strategies for picky eaters in every recipe. Practical strategies for eating well even when you're overwhelmed, stressed, or short on time.

Written by two registered dietitians-one also a licensed therapist, the other certified in diabetes education and intuitive eating-who bring decades of clinical experience plus the lived experience of juggling real-life stressors as working moms.

If you're ready to take control of your mental health with every bite, pull up a chair. You're in the right place.
