Our global mental health crisis is growing at an exponential rate, with over half a billion people suffering from depression and anxiety; it’s time we rethink our understanding of the underlying root causes of mental health challenges.

From treating thousands of patients, I’ve learned that depression is not in your head. It’s in your body. More specifically, your gut. When your gut is unhealthy and inflamed, your brain is unhealthy and inflamed. In Functional Medicine, we know that the gut and the brain are intimately connected and that the health of one directly influences the health of the other. 

In today’s Health Bites episode, we’re diving into the gut-brain connection and sharing Functional Medicine tools to support your gut health and, as a result, your mood and mental health. 

In this episode, I discuss:

• Our global mental health crisis (2:45)
• The gut-brain connection (4:18)
• The story of Marks's broken brain (5:15)
• Features of the gut-brain axis (8:57)
• Gut hormones that send signals to your brain (10:06)
• Role of the gut microbiota in mood and mental health (12:24)
• How stress negatively impacts our gut microbiome (20:14)
• The link between leaky gut and poor mental health (21:41)
• The Functional Medicine approach to fixing the gut (25:56)
• The 5R Program for fixing your gut health (30:09)

Mental illnesses of all kinds are on the rise, and yet we seem no closer to being able to treat them effectively. We're only able to treat the symptoms of mental illness, but aren't often able to put the illness into remission because its root cause has been a mystery.

My guest, however, believes he knows exactly what the root cause of mental illness is, and thus how to finally resolve it for good. His name is Dr. Chrisopther Palmer, and he's a Harvard psychiatrist and the author of Brain Energy: A Revolutionary Breakthrough in Understanding Mental Health. Today on the show, Chris unpacks his theory of mental illness, which basically comes down to this: if your brain cells aren't getting enough energy, they're not going to function properly. He explains how numerous and seemingly diverse mental illnesses, from anxiety and depression to ADHD and alcoholism, actually all have a common pathway: metabolic disorders. While we typically think of metabolism as related to the physical body, it also greatly affects the mind, and Chris explains how you can have the kind of metabolic problems that cause mental illness even if you're not overweight. Chris then shares how certain lifestyle changes, like switching to a ketogenic diet, may be able to completely cure mental illness.

In Episode 57, the ADHD Adults James and Alex discuss the issue of pain in ADHD. As usual, the world's worst podcast™ includes pathetically delivered psychoeducation on ADHD and pain, monotonously delivered by Alex the Psychoeducation Monkey, personal reflections on the subject and the usual game of 'What has James lost, forgotten or mislaid this week?" which Alex undoubtedly will get wrong. Will Alex continue to receive  correspondence from 'Robert from Kidderminster'?  Our wonderful but confusingly enthusiastic  international listener base is welcomed with another cringeworthy 'hello',  and the usual pathetic . 'Top Tips' or 'spunk trumpeting without Gabby Logan reveals his 'rapper name' and James's gets 'pain shamed'...
