28 分钟We talk a lot about diet and food on this show.
As it relates to metabolism and mental health, diet.
So diet is huge.
And most people have no clue that diet plays any role in mental illness or mental health.
95% of mental health clinicians think it's laughable that anybody would suggest that diet can play a role in mental illness.
They think it's laughable.
What do you think?
I think if you do a deep dive into the science,
all of the science that we have accumulated over the last 100 years and longer sometimes,
If you do a deep dive into all of those neuroimaging studies that we've been doing,
all of the genetic studies we've been doing,
all of the neurotransmitter and hormone studies and trauma studies and adverse childhood experiences studies,
if you do a deep dive into the science and you understand what is happening in the brains and bodies of people as a consequence of those things,
or what could be causing those things.
If you put it all together,
you come to this sound bite that mental disorders are metabolic in nature,
and there is no questioning whatsoever.
It is incontrovertible that diet plays a massive, huge role in metabolism.
And therefore,
I believe very strongly that diet might be playing a role in the mental health epidemic that we are seeing.
