Why inflammation is depressing
A recent quote in the Journal of the American Medical Association said the following: “Psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders are being thought of more and more as systemic illnesses in which inflammation is involved.”
Nutritional Psychiatry
If you have a heart attack, your cardiologist is very likely to speak to you (at least briefly) about what you eat. This is a good thing! The food you eat has a significant impact on your future heart disease risk. If you have an episode of depression, its fairly unlikely that your psychiatrist will talk to you about food. But there is a significant movement aiming to change this.
Planetary Health
Human health and planetary health are deeply and inseparably linked. While my job is related to supporting the health of humans, this is not possible without the health of planet earth.
