Résumé
"Professor Felice Jacka is filling the huge gap that exists in both psychiatric and psychological training. This book changed the way I thought about the significance of nutrition, both personally and for my clients. Everyone needs access to this education about how their own brain works." DR JULIE SMITH"This is a fascinating book by a leading researcher, covering one of the most exciting areas of modern nutritional research about how our diet can impact our gut and brain health.
The combination of personal stories and cutting-edge science is a real winner" DR MICHAEL MOSLEY, AUTHOR AND TV PRESENTERA combination of Professor Felice Jacka's love of food and her own experience of depression and anxiety as a young woman led her to question whether what we put in our mouths everyday affects more than our waistline. Felice set out on a journey of discovery to change the status quo and uncover the truth through rigorous science.
Beginning her PhD in 2005, she examined the association between women's diets and their mental health, focusing on depression and anxiety. She soon discovered - you feel how you eat. It is Professor Jacka's ground-breaking research that has now changed the way we think about mental and brain health in relation to diet. Brain Changer explains how and why we should consider our food as the basis of our mental and brain health throughout our lives.
It includes a selection of recipes and meal plans featuring ingredients beneficial to mental health. It also includes the simple, practical solutions we can use to help prevent mental health problems in the first place and offers strategies for treating these problems if they do arise. This is not a diet book to help you on the weight scales. This is a guide to good habits to save your brain and to optimise your mental health through what you eat at every stage of life.

Biographie de Felice Jacka
Professor Felice Jacka is Director of the Food & Mood Centre at Deakin University. She is also founder and president of the International Society for Nutritional Psychiatry Research (ISNPR) and immediate past president of the Australian Alliance for the Prevention of Mental Disorders. She has been responsible for the development of a highly innovative field of research establishing diet and nutrition as of importance to common mental disorders.These include the first studies to document a role for diet in adolescent depression - the primary age of onset for common mental disorders - the first study to identify both maternal and early life nutrition as important predictors of children's mental health, and the first trial to show that dietary improvement can address depression. The results of the studies she has conducted have been highly influential, and she is widely recognized as international leader in the nascent but transformative field of Nutritional Psychiatry research.
Professor Jacka's current research focuses closely on the links between diet, gut health, and mental and brain health. This work is being carried out with the ultimate goal of developing new, evidence-based prevention and treatment strategies for mental disorders. Professor Jacka has published >160 peer-reviewed scientific papers, the majority in high-impact journals in the mental health field including the American Journal of Psychiatry, World Psychiatry, BMC Medicine and Lancet Psychiatry.
She is listed in the top ten most highly-cited researchers in mood disorders in Australia (Scopus). Personally, Felice has a passion for food and medicine, as well as knowledge translation. She has written a book for the lay public called 'Brain Changer' through Pan Macmillan press in Australia and is working on a children's book with her husband. Her hope is that her work will inspire individuals and families to prioritise a healthier way of eating to protect their mental and brain health over their lifespan, as well as influencing clinical practice for people affected by mental health problems.
She is also passionate about prompting changes by policy-makers to improve the global food environment.
