This article is inspired by Dr. Uma Naidoo’s Mood Food series, which explores the powerful connection between nutrition and mental wellbeing. As a Harvard-trained psychiatrist and nutritional expert, Dr. Naidoo reframes foods like dark chocolate not as indulgences, but as tools for supporting brain health, mood, and emotional balance. Her work reminds us that eating well can be both science-led and deeply enjoyable.
