A short YouTube talk by Dr. Nicole Cain promoting the flavonoid apigenin as a neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory antioxidant that supports mood and brain health. The speaker describes food sources (chamomile, celery, parsley), proposed mechanisms (reduces inflammation, increases brain-derived neurotrophic factor, protects against oxidative damage), and practical advice for improving bioavailability (eat whole-plant sources, fiber, fermented foods, and support Bacteroides gut bacteria). The speaker also briefly promotes her Holistic Wellness Collective.
