Mental health encompasses our psychological, emotional, and social well-being. It involves our thoughts, behaviors, and emotions, and it also affects the state of our physical health. One of the most modifiable ways you can positively affect your mental health is with food. In this article, we’ll highlight the ways we currently understand how food can affect our mental health through: gut microbiota, fiber and probiotics, inflammation and anti-inflammatory diets, and BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor).

In this brief podcast segment, Marwan Sabbagh, M.D., FAAN, sits down with our founder, Dr. Edward Park, to emphasize the link between Type 2 Diabetes and Alzheimer's Risk.

Have you ever had the experience of walking into the kitchen and forgetting why you did? Or maybe you’ve forgotten an appointment because it slipped your mind. These lapses in memory are normal, but sometimes become more concerning to us as we age. Did you know that AD begins silently, with changes slowly building in the brain many years before symptoms even begin? Researchers refer to this as a dementia "continuum," with changes happening in the brain over decades. Read on to learn more about this continuum and its stages ... and actions we can take to stave it off.

Marwan Sabbagh, M.D., FAAN, talks about when neurodegeneration begins in the brain, and the optimal time to start preventing cognitive decline.

Alzheimer’s disease and type 2 diabetes are two of the most common chronic diseases in the United States, conditions that on the surface appear to have little overlap or relationship. But if you look a little deeper, you’ll find that research suggests there’s a substantial amount of overlap between the two, and the connection is the role that insulin resistance plays in the development and progression of both.

Marwan Sabbagh, M.D., FAAN, sits down with our founder, Dr. Edward Park, to talk about things we can do to reduce our risk of developing Alzheimer’s and other dementias.

The MIND diet combines groundbreaking research findings and respected culinary traditions to offer a response to some of the most difficult medical problems of our time: neurodegenerative diseases, like Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.
