Mental illness may look like a brain problem, but it can start as a body-and-energy problem.
In this episode of Too Curious MDs, Dr. Matthew Bernstein and Sophie Kwass join us to talk about metabolic psychiatry: how insulin resistance, mitochondrial function, and brain energy can shape conditions like depression, bipolar disorder, and psychosis, and why a ketogenic approach can change outcomes when traditional care only stabilizes.
