ZOE Science & Nutrition · Most replayed moment: Do You Have High-Functioning Depression? | Dr Judith Joseph & Professor Sarah Berry · 5 May 2026 podcast

No, Zoe's very good actually, I think.

And not just the big ones.

I love that, the small wins, because it's the small wins that I don't think we acknowledge, but it's the things that are occurring hour after hour, day after day that are challenging.

So I think there's no specific way of eating that would be different to what we would recommend for everyone, you know, specifically for mood.

So we would recommend for everyone's physical and also mental health to be following the kind of diet we encourage at ZOE.

So this is a diet rich with whole foods, whole plant-based foods, lots of colour, as your dad told you, Judith.

So a diversity of different plant-based foods that are rich in color because they contain all of these magical chemicals called polyphenols, which we know act on anti-inflammatory pathways.

Lots of fiber-rich foods, so whole grains, legumes, pulses.

Foods that also contain omega-3, and Judith touched on this as well.

Omega-3 is a particular kind of fat.

It's found in high amounts in oily fish.

And that's really important because we know it has a really important functional role in our brain as well.

And avoiding certain foods.

I know that we want to think about what we should encourage, but I do think we need to acknowledge, particularly when it comes to mental health and depression, that actually having these very high refined carbohydrates, high sugar foods, high heavily processed foods like your, you know, salamis, your heavily processed red meats, for example,

we know that that increases the chances of having mental health issues, of having depression, of having low mood.
