The story of food and depression is a complex one. Even at the surface, it is at least a two way street, with food affecting depression and depression impacting how we eat. I chose this topic to "come out" as it were because my depression was making it difficult to get this podcast started. It was just one of the things that kept getting crushed by my lack of motivation.

In this episode we will hear other food-related stories of depression, as well as hearing what the current science has to say. Take a listen.

• Xiomara Creighton,
• Chef Erin Socall, and
• Kelly Matheson, MSc. RD, CDE, from CAMH

In our inaugural episode, Diane Lacey and Gisela McKay introduce themselves and lay out their plan for the first six months of the podcast.

Then, accompanied by guest host, Joey Schwartz, we visit (part of) the team at the Laylow Brewery, Toronto's Smallest Brewery, in the West End of Toronto: Colin Weadick, Brewer/Owner and Chef Adisa Glasgow, Owner of Young Animal, Refined Trinidadian Fare, located within the Laylow premises.

We have a spirited discussion of brewing, niches, and aspects of the Toronto food scene, before Gisela asks Chef Adisa about his Five Ingredients and Five Kitchen Utensils.
