The #1 Mistake in Mental Health Care Today
Is mental illness really just a chemical imbalance? Or is there something deeper going on in the struggling body and mind?!
When I first trained in psychiatry, I saw it firsthand: treatments that barely moved the need, and rarely led to real healing.
What if that’s because we’ve been focused on the wrong system?
Most people think mental health is about the mind. But your brain is a physical organ, and like every organ, it relies on metabolism. It needs stable blood sugar. Efficient mitochondria. A healthy gut. Balanced hormones. Nutrients. Sleep. Inflammation in any of those systems can show up as psychiatric symptoms.
And that’s the problem with the old model. It tries to fix the “air conditioning” without checking if the engine is on fire.
In this episode with Dr. Iain Campbell, we unpack how mood disorders like bipolar may actually be metabolic disorders of the brain, and what new research is revealing about how to treat them.

Mark is not a young man any more, he’s 73 years old, I remember hearing and following his advice in my 30’s / now 63.
he walks his talk, check out how he crosses his legs and sits up right, clear minded and still looking good. I feel just as good @65. I followed the concepts he and others taught in my mid 20’s and still do!! Ty for your wisdom Mark!
