About My Guest:


Dr. Matt Bernstein is one of the leading voices in the emerging field of metabolic psychiatry. He trained as a psychiatry resident in Belmont, Massachusetts, where he served as chief resident. He was also a psychiatrist in charge and later served as an assistant medical director of a schizophrenia and bipolar inpatient unit. 

Dr. Bernstein developed his passion for community-based care as the chief medical officer of Ellenhorn, where he pursued alternative ways such as focusing on metabolism, nutrition, cardiac rhythm, biology, and exercise to help individuals achieve their best level of functioning without relying solely on traditional psychiatry approaches.

Summary:


Join me in this episode of the #BackToTheBasicsPodcast as we delve into the innovative approach of metabolic psychiatry with Dr. Matt Bernstein.

Drawing from years of experience and his groundbreaking work with ketogenic diets, he explains how addressing cerebral insulin resistance and improving mitochondrial function can significantly benefit patients with psychiatric disorders. 

From anxiety and depression to schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, we shed light on how these conditions can be better managed or even mitigated through targeted dietary and lifestyle changes.
