How effective is exercise for treating depression, and how can we help more people use it as a cornerstone of treatment?
The last decade we have seen mounting evidence that exercise can play a big role in mental health through a variety of mechanisms.
In this interview, Dr. Nick Fabiano, a psychiatry resident and researcher, shares his innovative approach to using exercise as a therapeutic intervention, drawing from his recent co-authored paper.
In this interview you’ll learn:
Why exercise is comparable to antidepressants and therapy in treating mild to moderate depression. How a holistic, lifestyle-based approach can complement traditional treatments. The mechanisms linking exercise to improved mental health, including metabolic health benefits and social interaction. How to personalize exercise prescriptions for individuals based on their physical and mental health needs. Challenges of integrating exercise into psychiatric careMovement is a core pillar of our THINK + SMART program, embodying the 'M' in the acronym. Exercise not only has the remarkable ability to provide an immediate boost to mood and mental clarity but also fosters long-term adaptations that support both metabolic and mental health. As the field of metabolic psychiatry continues to grow, we are optimistic that exercise will become a foundational component in the standard of care for mental health treatment.

The Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) have the potential to shape the health of millions, but are they based on outdated or flawed evidence? In this powerful interview, Dr. Bret Scher and investigative journalist Nina Teicholz expose the controversial history of dietary policy, challenge the methodology of the DGA Advisory Committee, and discuss the urgent need for change to address rising rates of metabolic and mental health disorders. And they try to answer the burning question from the guidelines: Will eating more beans, peas, and lentils make all of us healthier?
What you will learn in this interview:
What is the importance of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans? How is the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee committee selected? How is the DGA created and what is the quality of evidence? What are the conflicts of interest in current and past DGA committees? How are decades-old biases shaping current dietary policies? How is the DGA failing to consider individual needs? What do we know about the upcoming 2025 DGA? What are we hoping for in the upcoming 2025 Dietary Guidelines?This timely discussion brings both hope and urgency as they address the question: Will the next guidelines reflect the latest research or continue to steer us in the wrong direction?

In this video, we tackle a common misconception: that losing weight alone will make you healthier. Contrary to popular belief, simply reducing the number on the scale may not lead to better health outcomes. Instead, it's crucial to focus on losing fat mass, maintaining or building lean mass like muscle and bone, and improving your overall metabolic health.We dive deep into how medications like Wegovy and Ozempic—while popular for weight loss—don't differentiate between fat and muscle loss, which can be crucial for long-term health. We'll also explore the growing evidence supporting ketogenic diets for their ability to promote fat loss while preserving muscle mass, making them a compelling option for improving body composition.Watch this video to understand how optimizing your body composition, rather than just losing weight, can lead to sustainable health benefits.*Papers Mentioned*_Once-Weekly Semaglutide in Adults with Overweight or Obesity_https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2032183_Body Composition Changes After Very-Low-Calorie Ketogenic Diet in Obesity Evaluated by 3 Standardized Methods_https://academic.oup.com/jcem/article/102/2/488/2972058?login=false_Long-Term Effects of a Novel Continuous Remote Care Intervention Including Nutritional Ketosis for the Management of Type 2 Diabetes: A 2-Year Non-randomized Clinical Trial_https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/endocrinology/articles/10.3389/fendo.2019.00348/full*Resources*Metabolic Mind’s Families & Peers page:https://www.metabolicmind.org/families-and-peersClinician Directory:https://www.diagnosisdiet.com/directoryFollow our channel for more information and education from Bret Scher, MD, FACC, including interviews with leading experts in Metabolic Psychiatry.Learn more about metabolic psychiatry and find helpful resources at https://metabolicmind.org/ About us:Metabolic Mind is a non-profit initiative of Baszucki Group working to transform the study and treatment of mental disorders by exploring the connection between metabolism and brain health.

In this interview with Dr. Bret Scher, Dr. Mark Horowitz, a leading clinician and researcher in anti-depressant withdrawal and de-prescribing, delves into the complex world of de-prescribing anti-depressants. Dr. Horowitz shares his personal journey with antidepressant withdrawal, which led him to dedicate his career to understanding safe tapering practices.He discusses the challenges that patients face when coming off medications, the withdrawal effects often mistaken for relapses, and how the current psychiatric guidelines may fall short in helping people safely taper. Dr. Horowitz emphasizes the importance of individualized tapering plans and the need for slower, more gradual reductions in medication, challenging the traditional approach of quick tapers over a few weeks.*Key Topics Covered*• The difference between withdrawal symptoms and relapse• The effects of long-term antidepressant use• Dr. Horowitz’s personal experience with tapering off Lexapro• The role of clinicians and peer support in the de-prescribing process*Experts Featured*Dr. Mark HorowitzX: @markhorohttps://markhorowitz.org/Resources:Safe tapering resources:https://www.outro.com/_The Maudsley Deprescribing Guidelines: Antidepressants, Benzodiazepines, Gabapentinoids and Z-drugs (The Maudsley Prescribing Guidelines Series)_https://www.amazon.com/Maudsley-Guidelines-prescribing-Prescribing/dp/111982298XMetabolic Mind’s Families & Peers page:https://www.metabolicmind.org/families-and-peersClinician Directory:https://www.diagnosisdiet.com/directoryFollow our channel for more information and education from Bret Scher, MD, FACC, including interviews with leading experts in Metabolic Psychiatry.Learn more about metabolic psychiatry and find helpful resources at https://metabolicmind.org/ About us:Metabolic Mind is a non-profit initiative of Baszucki Group working to transform the study and treatment of mental disorders by exploring the connection between metabolism and brain health.

Does eating a very low carbohydrate or ketogenic diet increase the risk of heart disease? Many healthcare practitioners might say yes, but recent evidence suggests otherwise. Contrary to popular belief, a ketogenic diet does not automatically increase cardiac risk. This video explores a new study that supports this notion, challenging misconceptions that may prevent people from using ketogenic therapy to treat conditions like diabetes, depression, bipolar disorder, and other brain-based disorders.Join us in this critical discussion and share this video with your healthcare provider to help spread awareness about the true effects of ketogenic diets on heart health.*Related Videos*https://youtu.be/jybPe48bGtYhttps://youtu.be/cXwpYDWS0RE*Papers Mentioned*_Impact of very low carbohydrate ketogenic diets on cardiovascular risk factors among patients with type 2 diabetes; GRADE-assessed systematic review and meta-analysis of clinical trials_https://nutritionandmetabolism.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12986-024-00824-w_Effect of carbohydrate-restricted dietary interventions on LDL particle size and number in adults in the context of weight loss or weight maintenance: a systematic review and meta-analysis_https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0002916522004749_Cardiovascular disease risk factor responses to a type 2 diabetes care model including nutritional ketosis induced by sustained carbohydrate restriction at 1 year: an open label, non-randomized, controlled study_https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29712560/_Ketogenic Diet Intervention on Metabolic and Psychiatric Health in Bipolar and Schizophrenia: A Pilot Trial_https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0165178124001513Follow our channel for more information and education from Bret Scher, MD, FACC, including interviews with leading experts in Metabolic Psychiatry.Learn more about metabolic psychiatry and find helpful resources at https://metabolicmind.org/About us:Metabolic Mind is a non-profit initiative of Baszucki Group working to transform the study and treatment of mental disorders by exploring the connection between metabolism and brain health.

In this interview, Dave Feldman, citizen scientist and founder of the Citizen Science Foundation, and Nick Norwitz, Oxford PhD and Harvard medical student, discuss their latest study, which challenges the traditional view of LDL cholesterol and its relationship to heart disease risk and metabolic health. Their research focuses on lean mass hyper-responders (LMHRs)—lean, metabolically healthy individuals on a low-carb, high-fat diet, also known as a ketogenic diet. Their findings suggest that LDL cholesterol levels may not contribute to plaque buildup in these individuals as is commonly believed in the general population.They also delve into the role of coronary CT angiograms as a powerful tool for more accurately diagnosing heart health and evaluating cardiovascular risk. This study provides new insights into the intersection of cholesterol, heart disease, and metabolic health, offering fresh perspectives on how we should rethink diet, cholesterol management, and long-term health outcomes.Watch as they break down the intersection of cholesterol levels, heart disease, and metabolic health, offering fresh perspectives on assessing cardiovascular risk in modern medicine and calling for further research.Don't miss this enlightening discussion that could change how we view diet, cholesterol, and long-term health outcomes!*Featured In This Video*Dave FeldmanX: @realDaveFeldmanLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dave-feldman/https://citizensciencefoundation.org/Nick Norwitz, PhDX: @nicknorwitzhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/nicknorwitz/*Related Papers*_Elevated LDL Cholesterol with a Carbohydrate-Restricted Diet: Evidence for a "Lean Mass Hyper-Responder" Phenotype_https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35106434/_Carbohydrate Restriction-Induced Elevations in LDL-Cholesterol and Atherosclerosis: The KETO Trial_https://www.jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jacadv.2024.101109_Carbohydrate restriction-induced elevations in LDL-cholesterol and atherosclerosis: The KETO Trial_https://www.metabolismjournal.com/article/S0026-0495(24)00080-5/abstract*Related Videos*https://youtu.be/cXwpYDWS0REResources:Metabolic Mind’s Families & Peers page:https://www.metabolicmind.org/families-and-peersClinician Directory:https://www.diagnosisdiet.com/directoryFollow our channel for more information and education from Bret Scher, MD, FACC, including interviews with leading experts in Metabolic Psychiatry.Learn more about metabolic psychiatry and find helpful resources at https://metabolicmind.org/ About us:Metabolic Mind is a non-profit initiative of Baszucki Group working to transform the study and treatment of mental disorders by exploring the connection between metabolism and brain health.
