Could the brain’s metabolism play a bigger role in mental health than we realize? In this episode, Dr. Matt Bernstein, Chief Medical Officer at Ellenhorn and CEO of Accord, explores the emerging field of metabolic psychiatry and its potential to reshape how we understand and approach complex psychiatric conditions.

With more than 25 years of clinical experience, Dr. Bernstein has dedicated his career to helping people achieve meaningful mental health improvement and long-term functional recovery. His work examines the connection between metabolic health, brain function, and psychiatric disorders while exploring new treatment models that go beyond conventional psychiatric care.

In this conversation, we explore:

• What metabolic psychiatry is and how it differs from traditional psychiatric approaches.
• How brain metabolism may influence mental health and psychiatric symptoms.
• Why ketogenic therapies are being investigated as potential tools for psychiatric care.
• The relationship between metabolic health and conditions such as depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, anxiety, OCD, and psychosis.
• How a more comprehensive approach could change the future of mental health recovery.

As research continues to uncover the relationship between metabolism and brain function, metabolic psychiatry is opening new conversations about personalized treatment and recovery.
