Addressing metabolic health is crucial in psychiatric care and can lead to improved mental well-being. There is a need for more clinicians trained in metabolic psychiatry to provide specialized care. A brain-healthy diet should nourish the brain, protect it from damaging ingredients, and provide the right balance of glucose and insulin. The first 1,000 days of life are critical for brain development, and proper nutrition during this period is essential.
