Nutrition Essentials for Mental Health is an absolute must-read for
all mental health professionals, and highly recommended for anyone
wanting to understand the connection between what we eat and how
our minds function. Dr. Korn brings two crucial concepts to the
table: the importance of the diet of our ancestors and the
significance of biochemical individuality. This book will change
lives!--Gray L. Graham, BA, NTP, President and Founder of the

Leslie Korn has written the essential book for mental health care
providers. As I read Nutrition Essentials for Mental Health, I was
astonished at the level of detail. It is engagingly written and
fascinatingly encyclopedic in its reach. The delicious recipes
alone provide a pathway to health. This book should be a bible for
the mental health field.--Peggy Knickerbocker, James Beard
