PLANT-BASED POWER: Julieanna Hever on Nutrition, Mental Health & Whether Pineapple Belongs on Pizza | S2 EP8

Can what you eat really change how you feel? 🌿
In this episode, Mind Cake sits down with world-renowned plant-based dietitian Julieanna Hever to unpack the powerful link between food, mood, and mental clarity.

This week on Mind Cake, Lee and Paul are joined by Julieanna Hever, author, educator, and one of the most respected voices in plant-based nutrition. With a background in clinical nutrition and a passion for mental wellness, Julieanna helps us connect the dots between what's on our plate and what’s going on in our minds.

In this evidence-backed yet accessible chat, we explore:

🧠 The food-mood connection — how your diet affects anxiety, focus, and emotional health
🌿 Why plant-based diets are shown to reverse chronic conditions like heart disease and type 2 diabetes
🥦 The key nutrients (like B12, omega-3s, and magnesium) that support brain function
🍽️ Easy, actionable ways to introduce more plant-based foods into your life
❓ And finally: Does pineapple belong on pizza? (Yes, we went there — and there’s a poll.)

Whether you're plant-curious or a long-time veggie lover, this conversation is packed with practical takeaways to help you nourish your mind and body.

🎧 Tune in now and discover how your diet could be the missing link in your mental wellness toolkit.
