Shouldn't this be psycho-neuro-immunology?
I think the sequence is critical.

Hello,
I can't speak directly to the brain-food-behavior interaction, but
neuro-psycho-immunology was a great area of strength, interest and
collaboration at the University of Minnesota when I was in grad school
there.
I would be a little skeptical of the amazing results you report from the TV
show for all the reasons you list, but I would believe that dietary effects
on cognition and mental health in general are likely. In addition to
possible immune effects, food is also the source of neurotransmitter
precursors and can often contain psychoactive compounds.
