you're more likely to have a heart attack, for example, if you have depression, and you're more likely to develop depression after you have a heart attack. So these observations that I made really put questions in my mind as to there must be something more to what we're doing that needs further investigation.

And I believe that there are metabolic issues that are not necessarily addressed within the field that I think needs to start occurring. I mean, we need to start including that in the way that we diagnose and treat and evaluate disease.

So I originally started off with an interest in learning about nutrition and metabolic issues and obesity. And I wanted to treat obesity. And then I saw that in a lot of the patients, there were psychiatric conditions in those patients. So I started to veer into the realm of psychiatry and got very interested in that.

So what happened was that when I was treating metabolic dysfunction, not necessarily obesity, but metabolic dysfunction, which is problems with blood sugar or insulin resistance or high blood cholesterol, I saw improvements in quality of life, in mood, in anxiety symptoms, in psychiatric symptoms, essentially.

And that really got me interested in what is this relationship? Why is this occurring?

and got me interested in treating these patients in a slightly different way than standard of care, really integrating the understanding of what metabolic dysfunction is. And I then started a clinic and I started to do research and that's how my path started. And I started early on developing this clinic in residency training.

Sure. That's quite an important question. When we talk about how nutrition affects the brain and specifically focusing on reducing that sugar and processed foods and refined carbohydrates to improve mental and physical health, we know that consuming excessive amounts of sugar, processed foods, and refined carbohydrates lead to obesity, metabolic problems, fatty liver, heart disease, even cancer.

There is evidence for this and the body is really one whole system and what happens in the body also affects the brain. The brain has a delicate balance of neurotransmitters or chemical messengers with more sugar and processed foods, these levels really become unbalanced and they're significantly off.
