I am honoured to be joined by an incredible guest today with a wealth of knowledge and experience in the field of neuroscience.
Dr Andrew Scholey is the Professor of Human Psychopharmacology at Swinburne University in Melbourne, Australia. Having published over 250 peer reviewed journal articles, Professor Scholey’s is a leading authority on the neurocognitive effects of nutrition. He is particularly interested in the way nutra' interventions such as caffeine, drugs and alcohol change the human brain, physiology and behaviour.
In this episode, we dive into a discussion about nutritional interventions that improve mood and cognitive function. Professor Scholey talks about the impact of recreational drugs and alcohol on the brain, the things we can do to remain healthy and decrease the risk of future disease.
We also discuss the relationship between cognitive decline and mental illness and Professor Scholey shares some insights from a number of studies that are underway to discover more of what science is saying on the topic.
