Dr. Lisa Mosconi, whose research spans an extraordinary range of specialties including brain science, the microbiome, and nutritional genomics, notes that the dietary needs of the brain are substantially different from those of the other organs, yet few of us have any idea what they might be. Her innovative approach to cognitive health incorporates concepts that most doctors have yet to learn. Busting through advice based on pseudoscience, Dr. Mosconi provides recommendations for a complete food plan, while calling out noteworthy surprises, including why that paleo diet you are following may not be ideal, why avoiding gluten may be a terrible mistake, and how simply getting enough water can dramatically improve alertness.

Including comprehensive lists of what to eat and what to avoid, a detailed quiz that will tell you where you are on the brain health spectrum, and 24 mouth-watering brain-boosting recipes that grow out of Dr. Mosconi's own childhood in Italy, Brain Food gives us the ultimate plan for a healthy brain. Brain Food will appeal to anyone looking to improve memory, prevent cognitive decline, eliminate brain fog, lift depression, or just sharpen their edge.

Dr. Lisa Mosconi, PhD, INHC, is the associate director of the Alzheimer's Prevention Clinic at Weill Cornell Medical College (WCMC)/NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital. She also is an adjunct faculty member at NYU School of Medicine, NYU Steinhardt School of Nutrition and Public Health, and the University of Florence (Italy).

Norah Tocci is a nonfiction narrator with an incurable curiosity for the human condition and how we put it to use. After leaving a diverse Silicon Valley career, Norah turned to technical narration and is now in high demand for her warm and credible delivery. Her narration of self-discovery titles is described as "comforting" and "sincere." Norah lives in the Buffalo, New York snowbelt, where she enjoys cross country skiing with her family and restoration of their turn-of-the-century farmhouse.
