The "drive" series is dedicated to the Prevention of Suicide and Motivation of Grief. 

The the second episode in this series called "The Physiology of Depression & Motivation" as a piggyback on the first week about the physiology of grief.  The key elements of depression require us to really understand depression from a metabolic perspective to learn more deeply about its mechanisms of disease that are not always thought of, especially in "treatment resistant" depression cases that are simply not responding to medication but would respond to metabolic healthcare. Some of these mechanisms include blood sugar regulation, hormone regulation, cortisol regulation, and more.  It's more than a discussion of neurotransmitters but a discussion of systems biology, micronutrient imbalances, and the functionality of our healthcare system in how we are currently approaching this very important mental health condition.   Swinging into a life of motivation, better energy, and better momentum can change your life, and it is a matter of commitment and choices to understand your personal health in a new way and create the kind of alignment in your life to steer towards your best health and be willing to save yourself from burnout, suicidal thoughts, and actions that are detrimental to your health.  Join Dr. Coomes for an empowering, honest, real time, and informative look at shifting out of grief and depression and into a more fulfilling life after loss.
