Summary

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.

There are some nuggets of gold in it but you really have to be patient. The pace of reading is very monotonous and then the same information is repeated.

Too much repetition

There are lots of references to the website, tables for f info etc. I have now purchased the paperback. The content is really good but a book is needed.

Brilliant book not suited to audio

I absolutely love Lisa Mosconi’s work and this is another excellent book. However the robotic monotonous narration has me falling asleep. I would have preferred to listen to Lisa narrate this herself!

Excellent facts and story telling, terrible narration

Seemed to lack scientific evidence in places. Still unclear on exactly what foods contribute to cognitive decline and which foods help. seems like author is just promoting the Mediterranean diet for overall health.

unclear messages

I listen it twice and I bought the hard copy too
I already started to introduce some new stuff in my family diet. A lot of stuff we already did as we were on Mediterranean diet 😍

Excellent
