I think that is changing. There's a complex relationship between metabolic dysfunction and nutrition, food, mental health. And I want to start off by saying that the idea of food as medicine is not a new concept in the field of nutritional psychiatry. It's really grown over the past few decades by several prominent psychiatrists and researchers.

However, the focus has largely been looking at specific foods or supplements, eliminating certain things from the diet, the microbiome, or looking at the Mediterranean diet, for example, affecting depression symptoms?

And these are all very important questions, but what I thought was missing and why I named our clinic and our group's work metabolic psychiatry is to distinguish that this is a study of how treatment of metabolic dysfunction can affect psychiatric symptoms. If a majority of us are suffering from obesity, type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, What is that doing to our brain?

We know that these diseases affect multiple things. Mental illness rates have increased over the past 20 years, in fact doubled. We know that mental illness like depression, bipolar disorder, psychosis, they're strongly associated with inflammation. That research is really indisputable. And research is also showing that there's an energy deficit in these brain illnesses

and the mitochondria the energy powerhouses of ourselves are not functioning optimally causing changes in brain signaling itself and the thought is if we can target inflammation insulin resistance the abnormal blood sugar etc as a method to improve mental health symptoms then we can really improve our patients lives further and

Again, mental illness has many different causes, but even if we, you know, can 5 to 10% of people have an improvement in these symptoms with this method, then I think that would be a pretty significant improvement of the overall mental and physical health of our country.
