On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, we’re exploring the emerging science of metabolic psychiatry. My guest, Dr. Iain Campbell, is a researcher at the University of Edinburgh and someone who has lived with bipolar disorder himself. He brings a rare dual perspective as both a scientist and a patient to this critical conversation.
Together, we discuss what’s really driving psychiatric conditions like bipolar disorder and why a systems-based approach may hold the key to meaningful recovery.

We unpack:
• What it means when mental health symptoms start in the body—not just the brain
• How to tell if metabolism, sleep, or inflammation are driving your mood swings
• Why seasonal changes impact energy and mood, and how you can stay steady year-round
• When keto might help where meds haven’t, and what to know before trying it
• How to catch metabolic red flags before they affect your mental health
When we shift how we see mental health, real healing becomes possible. There are answers, and this episode can help you find them.
