When Science Finds a Way · Does the food we eat improve our mental health? · 6 May 2026 podcast

We'll also hear how the lived experience of patient communities and the questions of implementation and personalization are incorporated in this field.

So let's get into it.

So when we think about food and mood, you know, I think about the old saying, you are what you eat.

But I wonder how true that is when it comes to our mood and mental health.

What do you what do you say to that?

I want to talk about...

How does diet impact our mental health?

What are the mechanisms and what do we know so far and what are you most curious about?

It's not like brushing your teeth.

It's something that happens in front of other people sometimes.

With people, yeah.

So when you work with the Food and Mood Centre,

I wonder if you can describe what you do, but also how it relates to the way maybe the average person thinks about food and food consumption, diet, things like that.

So I want to talk about the SMILE study.

Can you tell me about the SMILE study?

When we think about diet as a tool for helping with a clinical diagnosis, improving symptoms and things like that, we're not necessarily talking about diet exclusively, right?

We're talking about it in conjunction with medications or behavioral changes, or maybe you can shed some light on in addition to a diet, what else are we looking at when we think about a clinical diagnosis?

To get some insight into the other research driving this field, we spoke to Dr. Ian Campbell from the University of Edinburgh.

He has a very unique perspective on this as both a researcher and someone with lived experience of bipolar disorder.
