Achieve a balanced mood, clear thinking, and abundant energy through transformative methods based on groundbreaking research on the gut-heart-brain-axis.
Depression, anxiety, and burnout are the plague of modern times. Mental wellness issues afflict millions of people worldwide and account for billions of dollars spent on pharmaceuticals and “feel better” products. Unfortunately, most of these solutions make us feel “different” but not really “better”–and certainly not how we want to feel. Nurturing the Brain-Body-Biome is the superhighway to improve physical energy, mental acuity, and emotional well-being through nutrition, movement, and mindset.
Written by expert Psychonutritionist Dr. Shawn Talbott—a nutritional biochemist who has dedicated years of research and a dozen books to the study of nutritional psychology—Mental Fitness provides a clear, actionable path to optimize the connection across the Brain-Body-Biome and feel better naturally.
Dr. Shawn Talbott integrates physiology, biochemistry, and psychology to help people improve mental wellness and physical performance. He received Bachelor’s degrees in Sports Medicine and Fitness Management from Marietta College, Master’s degrees in Exercise Science from UMASS and Entrepreneurship from MIT, and his PhD in Nutritional Biochemistry from Rutgers. Recent projects include two academic textbooks, an award-winning documentary film, and several best-selling books translated into multiple languages. His work has been featured on The Dr. Oz Show, the TED stage, and the White House-and he has developed numerous top-selling nutraceutical products, generating over $1 billion in global sales. Shawn has competed at the elite level in rowing and triathlon, and has held the title of the “World’s Fittest CEO.” He lives with his family in Utah and Massachusetts.
