135: Metabolism & Mental Health: How Diet Can Heal the Mind


Listen Later

Ever wondered why traditional mental health treatments often fall short? Despite therapy sessions and prescriptions, are you or a loved one still struggling with anxiety or depression? Well, the answer might be on your plate, not just in your therapist's office.

In this eye-opening episode, Leslie sits down with Dr. Matthew Bernstein, clinical psychiatrist for over 20-years, and a pioneer in metabolic psychiatry, to expose the powerful connection mainstream medicine has overlooked for years: how your metabolism directly impacts your mental health. Until now, we've been missing a fundamental truth—what you eat literally shapes how you think.

Dr. Bernstein shares compelling research showing how optimizing your metabolic health through strategic dietary choices can transform anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, and other mental health challenges. 

Discover why the food-mood connection might be the game-changer you've been searching for, and learn actionable strategies to harness your metabolism for mental wellness—it's potentially the missing piece in your mental health puzzle.
