to go out and, you know, enjoy richer foods because a lot of, a lot of my patients I remember when I, you know, years ago were frightened of eating because they'd read, oh, you know, eggplants are going to make me worse. I can't have tomatoes. They're terrible, you know, and it's, it's, it's, it's a terrible thing to be frightened of food.

And I want to make sure that people aren't, there really is nothing out there that people shouldn't be eating in small, moderate amounts. What are your thoughts about the food sensitivity tests? Most of them are rubbish, is the quick answer. When you speak to allergy consultants, they'll tell you, yeah, most of them are not repeatable. There's no common standard.

And the only way to do it is a real food challenge test. where you actually challenge someone in a clinical setting. So again, that whole industry is there just often ends up fright, making people frightened of foods. And if they realize that, you know, it's the opposite, you would just want to have more of everything. But if you have everything on your, you know,

by definition, you're not gonna have too much of anything.

There is certainly a large gut-brain connection that is equally important. So the second biggest collection of nerves outside the brain is in our gut as well. So you've got the immune system there, you've got the nervous system there. And just like we're talking about the immune system, it's also interacting with the nervous system. And if you've got inflammation in your gut,

those signals are going to go straight to your brain. And we believe that quite a lot of anxiety and depression is actually caused by what's going on in your gut because your brain is getting the wrong signals. It thinks it's under, you know, it's ill and it should be shutting down and, you know, going back to bed and, you know, not going out with your friends and, and isolating.

So there's increasing evidence that there's a crucial two-way link between the brain and the gut and that food, as I said, in these clinical trials has been shown to actually work as well as antidepressants. So mood and food are very tightly linked. And I say in all our studies, Mood is the first thing that changes.
