Metabolic Psychiatry: The Future of Mental Health | SNH Podcast #157

In this episode of the Smarter Not Harder Podcast, Dr. Matthew Bernstein joins Jodi Duval for a pioneering conversation about the rise of metabolic psychiatry — the intersection of mitochondrial health, nutrition, and brain performance. From ketogenic therapy to personalized mental health biomarkers, this episode offers a radically hopeful perspective on treating conditions like depression, OCD, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia.

Join us as we explore: • What metabolic psychiatry is and why it matters now • How insulin resistance, inflammation, and mitochondria affect mood and cognition • Why ketones aren't just fuel — but also powerful brain signals • Tools like CGMs, RCTs, and the ACCORD program • Supplements and real-world protocols for psychiatric healing

This episode is for you if: • You or someone you love has struggled with medication-resistant mental illness • You're curious how nutrition and metabolism affect the brain • You want a psychiatrist's view on keto, CGMs, and continuous feedback • You believe mental health deserves smarter, not harder solutions
