Dr. James and I dive deep into the often-overlooked dangers of low cholesterol, its impact on mental health, and why our bodies—and especially our brains—need dietary fat. We also discuss the connection between modern diets, rising suicide rates, and why functional psychiatry may hold answers that traditional models miss. Make sure to listen to the full interview to learn more.

Dr. James Greenblatt is a board-certified child and adult psychiatrist with over 35 years of clinical experience. He bridges traditional psychiatry with integrative and functional approaches to mental health, focusing on biochemical individuality and root-cause healing. Dr. Greenblatt has authored several books and is a pioneer in nutritional psychiatry, working to transform how we approach mental health conditions like depression, ADHD, and eating disorders.
