About this audiobook
"An important read for anybody who is sick of covering up the underlying problems with medications and explore non-pharmaceutical solutions." —Emeran A. Mayer, MD, Distinguished Professor at UCLA and author of The Mind Gut Connection and The Gut-Immune Connection
Achieve a balanced mood, clear thinking, and abundant energy through transformative methods based on groundbreaking research on the gut-heart-brain-axis.
Depression, anxiety, and burnout are the plague of modern times. Mental wellness issues afflict millions of people worldwide and account for billions of dollars spent on pharmaceuticals and “feel better” products. Unfortunately, most of these solutions make us feel “different” but not really “better”–and certainly not how we want to feel. Nurturing the Brain-Body-Biome is the superhighway to improve physical energy, mental acuity, and emotional well-being through nutrition, movement, and mindset.
Written by expert Psychonutritionist Dr. Shawn Talbott—a nutritional biochemist who has dedicated years of research and a dozen books to the study of nutritional psychology—Mental Fitness provides a clear, actionable path to optimize the connection across the Brain-Body-Biome and feel better naturally.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Dr Talbott’s understanding of how our body functions, his way to explain it in a way we as inhabitants of a human body can understand sets him apart. Furthermore, Shawn’s depth of knowledge about natural ingredients properties that influence our body functions so we feel and perform at an optimum level is something doctors should know but our need for Pharma would be drastically reduced. Shawn’s capacity to go so far as to know where a plant thrives best to achieve its greatest potential to be most valuable to humans blows my mind. For instance New Zealand pine bark thrives best in the pristine climate of New Zealand instead of China where it is subjected to toxins and lest optimal conditions yielding a less effective response. Dr Talbott is top drawer.
