Lisa is joined by Dr. David Scheiderer MD, MBA, DFAPA (aka Dr. Dave) the Chief Medical Officer and Director of Education at Integrative Psychiatry, Inc. in Sarasota, Florida and the President of Tiberius Enterprises, Inc. in Roanoke, Virginia.

An accomplished clinician, educator, and lecturer, Dr. Dave has established himself as a key opinion leader in the fields of both mainstream psychiatry and functional medicine. Dissatisfied with the patient outcomes using only conventional treatments, he began treating his patients by addressing biological imbalances with lifestyle improvements, nutrition and nutraceuticals to get better outcomes. His integrative approach provided much improved results. Dr. Dave is passionate about helping the community he serves by personalizing treatments and educating the public about mental health and healthy aging.

Dr. Dave talks about how to support the gut-brain axis and why it is so crucial to your overall health. The human gut microbiome may be the solution to prevention and treatment of many of the most common modern degenerative diseases, including depression, anxiety, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, HIV, dementia, autism spectrum disorders (ASD), obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. All of these diseases are associated with decreased gut microbial diversity, increased intestinal permeability, dysbiosis, and chronic-low grade inflammation, or “metaflammation.” 

Dr. Dave shares that his go to probiotic is Omni-Biotic Stress Release. Check them out on amazon!

Dr. Dave is not only full of valuable information but he has a quick wit and a great sense of humor. Enjoy!
