How does the food we eat impact the way our bodies absorb and metabolize medications? What do we have to be aware of if we are eating a low-carb, high-fat ketogenic diet, and how it’s going to impact so many of the medications people with mental illness are taking?
In this engaging interview with psychopharmacology expert Dr. Deanna Kelly, you’ll learn how the food you eat can influence the effectiveness of mental health medications such as Cobenfy and the extended-release form of Quetiapine, where absorption rates are affected by high-fat meals. Dr. Kelly shares valuable insights on optimizing psychiatric care with individualized approaches, revealing practical tips for patients and practitioners alike.
This conversation is essential viewing for those interested in the latest strategies in metabolic psychiatry and the powerful role of nutrition in mental health care.
