Most psychiatrists or neuroscientists will say there's no way that what we eat would play a role in something like depression, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia.
When you actually start to pull back the curtain, it's horrifying.
How's my mood?
How's my anxiety?
How's my ability to sleep?
Any of those things should be at least warning signs that you may have impaired metabolism somehow or another impacting your brain.
Thank you so much for having me on.
The overarching theme of that roundtable discussion was that here in the United States, and actually throughout the world, we have an ever-increasing chronic disease epidemic.
And so many people focus on the epidemics of obesity and diabetes, and there's no doubt that those are skyrocketing in prevalence.
And I was there to represent the mental health epidemic that is occurring concurrently, that we really can't separate physical health and mental health, although many people want to.
But I think that as we have these escalating rates of obesity and diabetes, we have escalating rates of a broad range of mental illnesses, neurodevelopmental conditions, mental health conditions, mental disorders, whatever term you like, even though those things mean very different things to a lot of people.
We have escalating rates of things like autism, ADHD, anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorders, substance use disorders, eating disorders.
It's across the board, across a wide range of diagnoses.
And the bottom line is that what we're doing to address these chronic diseases isn't working, and we need a paradigm shift.
I think probably for a lot of people, one of the more surprising things for mental health
is that the same factors that can play a role in obesity, for example, can also play a role in mental health.
And the one that gets overlooked most often is the role of diet or nutrition.
You know, if you talk to most psychiatrists or neuroscientists and ask them, does diet play a role in mental health?
Most of them will say, probably not.
That the brain is just a really complicated organ, and there's no way that what we eat, nutrition, would play a role in something like ADHD, or even depression, and certainly not something like bipolar disorder or schizophrenia.
