I think the MIND diet is pretty great, but as The MIND Diet book author, I’m definitely biased. That’s why I’m happy to share that I’m not the only one who is a fan! See what the experts at The Food Network, U.S. News & World Report, Nutrition 411 and more have to say.

Nutrition 411
On nutrition hub site Nutrition411.com, Karen Buch, RDN, LDN writes, “I think dietitians will look to this book as a resource for patients, family members, and themselves. Everyone can benefit from slowing down the normal, age-related downturn in cognitive abilities that we all face. Moon points out that eating for brain health is most effective before symptoms of cognitive decline develop. So, don’t delay—consider getting your copy today!” Read the full MIND Diet book review.
To Live and Diet in LA
To Live and Diet in LA blogger and RD-to-be Whitney English says, “As you can see, this so-called “diet” isn’t strict at all. There’s still room for the bi-weekly indulgence, a little butter, and even a juicy steak. In fact, your current eating habits may already meet these suggestions. Plus, any meal plan that makes room for red wine is A OK in my book!” Find out what’s got her hooked on healthy eating for prevention, and her full MIND Diet book review.

Health writer and dietitian Liz Shaw, MS, RDN, CLT of Shaw’s Simple Swaps asks, “But what if I told you there were two things that could boost your brain that didn’t involve any fees or long-term memberships?

The MIND diet sets simple and practical guidelines for everyday eating that are based in sophisticated brain health research published in Alzheimer’s & Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer’s Association.
The eating plan is a hybrid of the heart-healthy Mediterranean- and the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diets, and then tailored to focus on the foods shown to enhance brain health in the scientific literature.
