'When you improve nutrition, you reduce violence': Psychologist Kimberley Wilson on working in Europe's largest women's prison

A woman in an orange jumpsuit sits behind prison bars sitting on a bed and holding a plate of food.

British psychologist Kimberley Wilson has worked with people from all backgrounds following her years working as a therapist at London's Holloway Prison, which was Europe's largest women's prison at the time. But those formative years shaped the advice Wilson gives her clients and patients to this day.

During her time at Holloway, Wilson learned about surprising links between diet, mental health and behavior in the population she worked with. Those early findings were so promising they inspired the work Wilson has done over the past decade, as well as her two books: "How to Build a Healthy Brain" (Yellow Kite, 2020) and "Unprocessed: How the Food We Eat is Fueling our Mental Health Crisis" (Ebury Publishing, 2023).
