Fix Your Brain by Fixing Your Body: Metabolic Psychiatry Explained by Dr. Shebani Sethi
For too long, psychiatry has treated mental illness as if it lives only in the brain. But what if the real story begins in the body? My guest today, Dr. Shebani Sethi, is a Clinical Associate Professor at Stanford and founding director of the Metabolic Psychiatry Program, the first clinic to unite psychiatry with nutrition and metabolism.
On this revealing episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, we explore how shifts in metabolism affect the brain and why this whole-body lens could transform how we prevent, understand, and treat mental health. Watch the full conversation on YouTube, or listen wherever you get your podcasts.
We discuss:
• How to recognize metabolic red flags behind mood and focus
• Tests you can ask for to uncover hidden drivers of mental health
• Everyday steps to restore brain energy and resilience
• Foods and nutrients that calm inflammation and support cognition
Dr. Shebani Sethi coined the term Metabolic Psychiatry, capturing what I’ve long believed and explored: that mental health begins in the body. Embracing this shift could reshape how we treat the mind and how we live each day.
