Overview
Why Attend?
Mental disorders are a growing public health challenge and a leading cause of disability worldwide. In the U.S., approximately half of people receiving mental health care are not getting evidence-based treatment—and even when they do, it often fails to bring lasting relief.
Decades of research have illuminated the connections between metabolism and mental health, revealing how disruptions in energy production can contribute to conditions such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. Integrating psychiatry, metabolic science, and lifestyle medicine can open new doors to recovery, whether for patients seeking a more holistic approach to their care or for those who have not found success with traditional treatments.
