Many psychiatric labels—like bipolar disorder and schizophrenia—can obscure underlying biology, and symptom checklists often fail to explain or heal what's really going on. Emerging evidence reframes mental illness as a problem of brain energy, mitochondria, and inflammation—shaped by insulin signaling, circadian rhythm disruption, the gut–brain axis, toxins, infections, and nutrient status. Metabolic interventions such as ketogenic nutrition, already established for epilepsy, show promise for rebalancing neurotransmitters, lowering neuroinflammation, and improving overall brain function. With depression now a leading cause of disability, shifting from “manage the symptoms” to “fix the biology” could dramatically improve outcomes where standard drugs fall short. In this episode, Dr. Christopher Palmer, Dr. Todd LePine, Dr. Iain Campbell and I explore how rethinking mental illness as a metabolic and inflammatory disorder of the brain—rather than just a chemical imbalance—could transform the treatment and prevention of conditions like depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. Dr. Chris Palmer is a psychiatrist and researcher working at the interface of metabolism and mental health. He is the Director of the Department of Postgraduate and Continuing Education at McLean Hospital and an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. For over 25 years, he has held leadership roles in psychiatric education, conducted research, and worked with people who have treatment-resistant mental illnesses. He has been pioneering the use of the medical ketogenic diet in the treatment of psychiatric disorders - conducting research in this area, treating patients, writing, and speaking around the world on this topic. More broadly, he is interested in the roles of metabolism and metabolic interventions on brain health. Dr. Todd LePine graduated from Dartmouth Medical School and is Board Certified in Internal Medicine, specializing in Integrative Functional Medicine. He is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner. Prior to joining The UltraWellness Center, he worked as a physician at Canyon Ranch in Lenox, MA, for 10 years. Dr. LePine's focus at The UltraWellness Center is to help his patients achieve optimal health and vitality by restoring the natural balance to both the mind and the body. His areas of interest include optimal aging, bio-detoxification, functional gastrointestinal health, systemic inflammation, autoimmune disorders, and the neurobiology of mood and cognitive disorders.  Dr. lain Campbell is the first academic research fellow to specialise in Metabolic Psychiatry as the Baszucki Research Fellow in Metabolic Psychiatry at the University of Edinburgh. He has a PhD in Global Health from the University of Edinburgh and is a principal investigator on a pilot trial of a ketogenic diet for bipolar disorder. He is a workstream lead and co-investigator on the first publicly funded research hub for Metabolic Psychiatry, the UKRI Medical Research Council Hub for Metabolic Psychiatry at the University of Edinburgh. His research in metabolic psychiatry has been published in Nature press journals Molecular Psychiatry and Translational Psychiatry and presented at Mayo Clinic Grand Rounds and The Royal College of Psychiatrists International Congress.  This episode is brought to you by BIOptimizers.

This episode of Let Us Be Idiots amounts to various recordings being “stitched” together. The entire collectionof audio tracks used for this episode was recorded in August this year. The more critical factor in this episode is breaking down the two segments with context. The first segment summarized, Matteo Pascale, while on a road trip, visited theCorning Museum of Glass. The museum had a “Glass Crystal Harmonica” on display. The museum's exhibit featured an interactive component regarding the Crystalophone, the official name for this type of musical instrument. The additional interactive feature included an audio recording of someone playing the Crystalophone. Matteo Pascale, as he doesbest, made an audio recording captured on an iPhone. Of the audio recording of someone playing the Crystalophone. To finish off this segment with CorningMuseum of Glass' own words of there:Audio Crystal SpiritYatri (Kathryn Root),Lenox, Massachusetts,Pilgrim Records, 1996Performer: YatriThe following segment consists solely of recorded interactions with John LoCicero, aka Big Chief (my grandfather).

Artist creates what she calls 'welded drawings' Marieken Cochius paints, sculpts, draws and works with felt. But around seven years ago, she donned a welder's mask and picked up a blowtorch. Although her style keeps evolving, she began to work with flat sheets of steel and create what she calls "welded drawings." Three of her wood sculptures are on display outside the Ligenza Moore Gallery in Philipstown and on Saturday (Aug. 16), she will open a solo exhibition, Axons, at the Garrison Art Center with a 5 p.m. reception. Her work is also showing at galleries in New York City; Clifton Springs, New York; and Lenox, Massachusetts. Soon, she'll be in Newburgh at the revivified New Holland Gallery. Asked about her Dutch heritage, she replies "born and raised" and cracks a deep smile. "But I always wanted to leave after high school." She came to the U.S. as an au pair and settled in Brooklyn, working as an assistant to Eddie Adams, who snapped the iconic photo of a street execution in Saigon during the Vietnam War. Now she lives in Wappingers Falls; the village commissioned a wood sculpture for its Boathouse community center. Cochius is a professional organizer and back then, "my clients went to the Hamptons every summer, so I sublet my apartment and traveled all over the country in a 1982 Cadillac Coupe de Ville. It was like driving a couch." She learned to weld 25 years ago while working in a prop shop that made Christmas decorations for department stores, including moving metal arms. "I couldn't believe I got paid to do that," she says. After a hiatus with the torch, she experimented by building reliefs on a piece of sheet metal and turning the results into something unrecognizable by playing with the voltage and wire speed of the welding apparatus to make the metal warp and bend on its own. Sometimes she pokes holes through the surface and uses a Dremel to hash out the details. Peering at one of her creations, she compares a mass of material to a stack of dimes: "It's like blowing bubbles." Despite the industrial origin and process, her work resembles organic matter: roots, leaves, tree bark, blood vessels and the floor of a forest with mushrooms popping up in "Triptych of the Universe," which will be displayed at Garrison. Nothing is wasted and sometimes Cochius cuts away pieces to reuse. The process is meticulous, as one might expect from a professional organizer as reflected in her tidy open-air welding station and immaculate studio. Lately, she's incorporating the detritus of the process into her work, including the byproduct slag and the burnt wire emitted by the welding machine, which she melts on top of the metallic sheet, "playing and drawing with it." Table sculptures featuring wire (also at Garrison) look like they're wrapped in lace or cobwebs. A couple of years ago, Cochius began finishing pieces with a blowtorch, which adds a patina akin to oil in a puddle: the colors change depending on the light and the viewer's angle. And she started working with sheets of rusted zinc taken from the roof of a dark green barn that houses her woodshop. The metallic abstracts unfold as she works. "I have no idea what I'm going to do until I get started at 9 a.m. every day," she says. "I don't wait for inspiration, I just work things out as I go, asking questions like, 'I wonder what would happen if I did this?' " Showing off her blowtorch, Cochius flashes another smile and says, "This is so much fun." The Garrison Art Center, at 23 Garrison's Landing, is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. except Monday. Axons and a show by Bill Schuck, Remnants and Schemes, continue through Sept. 14. Cochius will speak about her work at 2 p.m. on Aug. 23.

Autoimmune disease is explored as a complex and rising health challenge driven largely by lifestyle and environmental factors rather than genetics alone. Conventional treatments often rely on immune-suppressing medications that manage symptoms but fail to address underlying causes like gut dysfunction, chronic infections, toxins, and stress. A functional medicine approach instead emphasizes identifying and treating these root causes—such as gluten sensitivity, dysbiosis, and nutrient deficiencies—through personalized diagnostics and anti-inflammatory diets. Case studies illustrate dramatic improvements in patients' symptoms and lab results when switching from conventional to root-cause-based care. Ultimately, this integrative model empowers individuals to reclaim health by addressing what triggers immune system dysfunction in the first place. In this episode, I discuss, along with Dr. Sunjya Schweig, Dr. Cindy Geyer, and Dr. Todd LePine the root cause approach to healing autoimmune conditions. Dr. Sunjya K. Schweig is dedicated to advancing data-driven approaches to prevent and reverse chronic illness. He is the Founder and President of the California Center for Functional Medicine (CCFM), where he and his team deliver personalized, precision care using innovative technology and a comprehensive team-based model. Since 2016, CCFM has also supported first responders through specialized wellness programs. In 2021, Dr. Schweig launched the Functional Medicine Research and Technology Center to further research, education, and innovation in chronic disease prevention. A graduate of UC Berkeley, he earned his MD from UC Irvine and completed his residency at UCSF Santa Rosa. He is board-certified in family practice and integrative and holistic medicine. Dr. Cindy Geyer received her bachelor of science and her doctor of medicine degrees, with honors, from the Ohio State University. She completed residency in internal medicine at Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester, N.Y. and is triple board certified in internal medicine, integrative medicine and lifestyle medicine. Dr. Todd LePine graduated from Dartmouth Medical School and is Board Certified in Internal Medicine, specializing in Integrative Functional Medicine. He is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner. Prior to joining The UltraWellness Center, he worked as a physician at Canyon Ranch in Lenox, MA, for 10 years. Dr. LePine's focus at The UltraWellness Center is to help his patients achieve optimal health and vitality by restoring the natural balance to both the mind and the body. His areas of interest include optimal aging, bio-detoxification, functional gastrointestinal health, systemic inflammation, autoimmune disorders, and the neurobiology of mood and cognitive disorders. Dr. LePine enjoys skiing, kayaking, hiking, camping, and golfing in the beautiful Berkshires, and is a fitness enthusiast. This episode is brought to you by BIOptimizers.

My search to help people heal from chronic diseases came down to a single question: Were you created by intelligent design or was there some big bang that accidentally formed intelligent life? This question ultiamtely leads to a fork in the road where you can: Believe the universe exists by accident and therefore your sicknesses or diseases are also an accident; Believe that you're intelligently created, which means diseases shouldn't happen, leading you to find out what the root cause is so you can fix it. This may not sound like my typical episode, but I promise you that this conversation is all about the science. You see, you've been told about evolution all your life, but what if this was a lie? What if the evolution theory actually has no basis? Dr. Kent Hovind is a creation scientist and he's going to break down the other side of the argument, bringing into question: how did we get here?   TOPICS DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE: Evolutionism vs Creation How no transitional fossils exist showing evolution ever happened How evolution has zero scientific basis and is easily disproven That dinosaurs and humans co-existed at one point The major flaws of carbon dating That no living being has ever come from non living matter Where you came from, how intelligent your body actually is    More from Dr. Kent Hovind: Where did God come from?

Skin issues like acne, eczema, and rosacea are deeply connected to internal imbalances, especially those originating in the gut. It is important to explore diet—particularly sugar, refined carbs, and dairy—because it can drive inflammation, insulin resistance, and hormonal disruption, all of which contribute to poor skin health. Topical treatments and antibiotics may provide short-term relief, but they often disrupt the skin and gut microbiome, worsening conditions over time. A Functional Medicine approach focuses on restoring gut balance, identifying food sensitivities, and supporting detoxification pathways with nutrient-dense foods, supplements, and lifestyle practices. Addressing the root causes not only improves skin but also promotes systemic healing and resilience. In this episode, I speak with three of our doctors at The UltraWellness Center—Dr. Elizabeth Boham, Dr. Cindy Geyer, and Dr. Todd LePine—about why, when it comes to skin care, we need to look inside the body first. Dr. Elizabeth Boham is Board Certified in Family Medicine from Albany Medical School, and she is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner and the Medical Director of The UltraWellness Center. Dr. Boham lectures on a variety of topics, including Women's Health and Breast Cancer Prevention, insulin resistance, heart health, weight control and allergies. She is on the faculty for the Institute for Functional Medicine. Dr. Cindy Geyer received her bachelor of science and her doctor of medicine degrees, with honors, from the Ohio State University.
