About the author
Must have guide for the newbies and experienced that want better brain health
Love this book!! This is such a beautifully written and designed book to meet you where you’re at with your mental health. Great for the beginners that are new to cooking. Gentle to the beginners that are new to healthy eating. Motivating and in powering to people to people like me that want to help loved ones and myself to improve brain health to live proactive rather than reactive to challenges. The book laid out so that each chapter is almost a book in itself making it easy to reference back or just read what area you want to improve. Dedicating a section to kitchen setup and basic tools you make cooking easier, more enjoyable and not so intimidating. Also includes a menu plan with delicious easy to follow recipes. I have a list of the ones I want to try! I’m hoping I can encourage my kids to read, until then I will implement what I can when I’m cooking for them. I also follow the dr on Instagram and love the insights she offers on social media. Thank you Dr. Nairobi, I’m blessed to have found you!
