Metabolic Psychiatry

Emerging evidence shows that many mental health conditions have biological causes including:

​

  • Imbalances in neurotransmitters

  • Oxidative stress 

  • Insulin resistance

  • Inflammation​​

Metabolic psychiatry is a holistic approach that utilizes diet changes as well as assessing for underlying micronutrient deficiencies and metabolic dysfunction.   

​​Potential Benefits for Mental Health:

May improve symptoms of various mental health conditions, including:

​

  • Dementia

  • Autism

  • Bipolar disorder

  • Schizophrenia

  • Depression

  • Anxiety

  • ADHD

  • Food addiction

  • Binge Eating Disorder​

​​How it Works:

​

By limiting carbohydrates, blood sugar levels stabilize, reducing insulin spikes. This allows the body to utilize fat for energy, producing ketones as a byproduct. Ketones may be more readily utilized by the brain than glucose, especially in cases of mitochondrial dysfunction.​

​

Using this approach, individuals may be able to manage their mental health symptoms with lower doses of psychiatric medications or possibly taper off psychiatric medication.
