Psychiatrists lack practical frameworks to diagnose and treat psychiatric symptoms rooted in metabolic dysfunction

Psychiatrists are trained to treat mental health conditions with psychotherapy and psychiatric medications, but many patients with depression, anxiety, and cognitive issues have underlying metabolic problems (insulin resistance, thyroid dysfunction, nutritional deficiencies) that go undiagnosed. Current psychiatric practice ignores metabolic assessment, leaving patients on ineffective medications while their root metabolic causes worsen, leading to treatment-resistant mental illness and patient frustration.
