"Berlin liest ein Buch" – jedes Jahr lädt die Aktion Berlinerinnen und Berliner mehrere Wochen lang dazu ein, gemeinsam über einen Roman ins Gespräch zukommen. In diesem Jahr steht Daniela Dröschers Roman "Lügen über meine Mutter" im Mittelpunkt. Angelehnt an die Biografie der Autorin erzählt das Buch von familiären Machtverhältnissen, Körperbildern und sozialem Druck im Westdeutschland der 1980er Jahre. Noch bis zum 7. Juni liest Daniela Dröscher aus ihrem Roman und diskutiert mit dem Publikum über die Themen des Buches – in Bibliotheken, Buchhandlungen und Kulturorten in vielen Bezirken der Stadt. Antje Bonhage war bei einer der Veranstaltungen dabei – in der Gottfried-Benn-Bibliothek in Zehlendorf.

A recent report highlighted a surprising trend: individuals using GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic and Wegovy may be facing even more social stigma than those who remain overweight. And while neither deserves any stigma at all, it raises an important question about how we judge health choices in modern medicine.In this conversation, Dr. Bret Scher reflects on whether his own critiques of GLP-1 medications stem from bias against the individuals using them. His conclusion is clear: the issue is not the patient, but the system surrounding care.While GLP-1 receptor agonists can be powerful tools for weight loss and metabolic improvement, Dr. Scher emphasizes a deeper concern: the growing tendency toward a “drug-first” model that may overlook foundational lifestyle and metabolic interventions such as nutrition quality, protein intake, resistance training, and long-term behavior change.Key themes discussed:The stigma patients face regardless of whether they lose weight or notThe difference between criticizing a treatment and blaming the patientConcerns about overprescribing without adequate lifestyle supportWhat happens when medications are stopped (and weight is regained)The importance of metabolic health beyond the scaleThis conversation also highlights the complexity of long-term care. While some individuals may benefit significantly from GLP-1 medications, sustainable metabolic health ideally integrates medical tools with lifestyle-based strategies that support long-term resilience.

Psychiatric medication tapering* is becoming one of the most important and controversial conversations in mental health care.In the wake of the American Psychiatric Association Annual Conference, Dr. Bret Scher explores the growing debate around psychiatric medication “deprescribing,” responsible tapering, overprescription, and the urgent need for better research and clinician guidance.This discussion examines the real clinical questions:When should psychiatric medications be reassessed?How should tapering be approached safely?How do we distinguish withdrawal symptoms from relapse?Why is there still so little research on tapering protocols?What role could metabolic psychiatry and ketogenic therapy play in supporting brain health during treatment?Dr. Scher also discusses why every psychiatric prescription should include an ongoing plan for reassessment, not just indefinite continuation by default.Importantly, this video does NOT encourage anyone to stop psychiatric medications on their own. Decisions about medication changes should always be made carefully with a qualified healthcare provider.

Alle Literaturinteressierten sind ab sofort zur Lektüre eingeladen, um dann im Aktionszeitraum vom 24. Mai bis 7. Juni 2026 an zahlreichen Veranstaltungen in Berlin teilzunehmen. Zum Auftakt der Aktionswoche ist Daniela Dröscher am 24. Mai 2026 um 18.00 Uhr zu Gast in der Sendung "Die Literaturagenten" auf radioeins und radio3. Darüber reden wir jetzt mit dem Literaturagenten Thomas Böhm.

A new study suggests that eating more eggs may be linked to a lower risk of dementia. But what does the research actually show?Dr. Bret Scher breaks down the headlines, the limitations of observational nutrition research, and the surprisingly important detail hidden in the baseline data.The people eating the fewest eggs entered the study with what many would consider “healthier” lifestyles:

In people with severe depression and cognitive decline, brain glucose metabolism has been shown in some studies to decline measurably. Ketone metabolism, by contrast, appears relatively preserved. That single observation is reshaping how researchers think about psychiatric illness.In this episode, Dominic D'Agostino sits down with Bret Scher, a cardiologist who pivoted to metabolic psychiatry and now leads clinical education and content for Metabolic Mind at the Baszucki Group. Dr. Scher brings a rare dual perspective: deep training in conventional cardiology paired with three years embedded in the research and clinical practice exploring metabolic approaches in psychiatry.The conversation covers brain energy dysfunction as a potential unifying mechanism across psychiatric disorders, the preserved ketone metabolism documented in work by researchers like Stephen Cunnane, the recently published Delphi consensus paper on metabolic psychiatry, why four-week randomized trials may be inadequate for nutritional interventions, and the case for future diagnostic categories like metabolic depression and metabolic bipolar disorder.Questions Answered in This Episode:Are we underestimating brain energy dysfunction as a potential unifying mechanism across psychiatric disorders?What are the two biggest clinical mistakes patients make when starting ketogenic therapy for mental illness?Should ketogenic therapy ever be positioned as a first-line intervention for psychiatric disorders?What is the single biggest bottleneck preventing wider clinical adoption of ketogenic therapy?What has been the most unexpected challenge in moving metabolic psychiatry into the mainstream?What does precision, personalized, prescriptive ketone metabolic therapy actually look like in clinical practice?This conversation reframes psychiatric illness as a question of brain energy alongside neurotransmitter signaling and other biological mechanisms, with implications for how the next decade of research and clinical training will unfold.Join the Live Q&A with Dr. Bret Scher.

Dara und Karin wollen in die “Bünzli-bubble”. Und weil sie ganz neu in dieser Welt sind, haben sie sich prominente Unterstützung geholt; Von einem waschechten “Eidgenoss”, dem Schwinger Sinisha Lüscher. An den Thronfolge Live Shows war er der Publikumsliebling, das wird er bestimmt auch nach dieser Folge. Sinisha isst mit uns Döner, verratet uns wie man einen ordendlichen Booty antrainiert und schwärmt von seinem Mami. Sinisha mag seine Mutter - die beiden Mütter weniger. Mit uns nach Ibiza kommt er jedenfalls nicht :( Ach ja, ums Schwingen geht es natürlich auch noch. Also schmeisst euch in die Edelweishemde, denn diese Folge wird richtig “bünzlig”. Auch wenn Sinisha, laut Karin eher nach einem Rapper, als nach einem Schwinger aussieht, vertritt er seine Community mit grossem Stolz. Ob er Dara und Karin davon überzeugen kann?

Starting a ketogenic diet, reaching ketosis, and setting the right keto macros can feel overwhelming at first, but the fundamentals are simpler than they seem. In this video, Dr. Bret Scher breaks down how to start a keto diet step by step, including how to lower carbs, balance protein, and use fat as your primary fuel source.Whether your goal is weight loss, metabolic health, or therapeutic ketosis, this guide walks through the key principles to help you get started safely and effectively.This video covers:How to reduce carbohydrates to reach ketosisHow much protein you need on a ketogenic dietHow fat supports energy and satiety on ketoWhat causes “keto flu” and how to minimize symptomsWhy hydration and electrolytes are essentialHow to test ketones and track progressYou'll also learn how different dietary approaches, such as Mediterranean, vegetarian, and others, can still support ketosis when carbohydrates are low enough.Importantly, Dr. Scher notes that if you're using a ketogenic diet for a medical or mental health condition, it's important to work with a qualified healthcare provider. Dietary changes can affect medications and symptoms, making it crucial to have your healthcare team on board.

Wie sollten wir sprechen, um einander wirklich zu verstehen? Und wie wird aus einer schweigenden Frau eine die öffentlich spricht? Diesen Fragen gehen wir mit Daniela Dröschers und ihrer sehr persönlichen Geschichte einer Selbstermächtigung "Sprechen" nach. Außerdem lassen sich die Literaturagentinnen auf eine toxische Beziehung ein mit Dana von Suffrins Roman "Toxibaby", ziehen mit Christine Koschmieder in „Ein Haus für mich“ und dazu gibt es noch die besten Taschenbuchempfehlungen für den Mai.

Für Daniela Dröscher, aufgewachsen im Hunsrück zwischen Dialekt und Hochdeutsch, war Sprechen oft eine Frage von Schweigen. Ob sie ihre Stimme erhebt, sich traut, etwas zu sagen – auch auf die Gefahr hin, dass sie mehr preisgibt, als sie eigentlich wollte. Sprechen ist kein Informationsaustausch, es sagt viel mehr als die Bedeutung der Worte. Dies erkundet Daniela Dröscher in ihrem nachdenklichen Essay.

Can something as simple as coconut oil support brain health in dementia?In this video, Dr. Bret Scher explores an emerging area of research focused on brain energy metabolism and how ketones may play a role in supporting cognitive function in conditions like Alzheimer's disease and mild cognitive impairment.As the brain's ability to use glucose declines in Alzheimer's, researchers have begun investigating whether ketones can help fill that energy gap.In this video, you'll learn:Why the brain may experience an energy deficit in Alzheimer's diseaseHow ketones provide an “alternative” fuel for the brainThe role of coconut oil and MCTs in raising ketone levelsInsights from Dr. Mary Newport's early observations and case reportsResearch from Dr. Stephen Cunnane on brain energy metabolismWhat current studies suggest about ketogenic therapies and cognitive functionCommon concerns about saturated fat and coconut oilDr. Scher also discusses the limitations of the current evidence. While early findings are promising, much of the research is still in its early stages, and more rigorous clinical trials are needed.At the same time, for individuals and families facing cognitive decline, low-risk lifestyle approaches like ketogenic strategies may be worth exploring under medical guidance.

In ihrem neuen Buch "Sprechen" geht Daniela Dröscher der Frage nach, wie Sprache Verständigung ermöglicht. Aufgewachsen in Hunsrück zwischen dem Hochdeutsch der Mutter und pfälzischem Dialekt erlebte sie Sprechen zunächst als Anpassung und schließlich als Verstummen. Offen beschreibt die Autorin ihren Weg von der schweigenden zur öffentlich sprechenden Frau. Anne-Dore Krohn hat das Buch gelesen.

Als Autorin schreibt Daniela Dröscher erfolgreich Romane, doch mit dem gesprochenen Wort kämpfte sie jahrelang.

What do you do when keto is genuinely changing your life, but your LDL goes up?That's exactly the question Dr. Bret Scher sits down to answer in this conversation with podcast producer Erica Gerard.Erica started ketogenic therapy for two reasons: to support her taper off long-term antidepressants, and to address symptoms of complex PTSD. Six months in, the results were remarkable. A smoother taper, less anxiety, fewer flashbacks, and a greater sense of calm than she'd ever experienced.Then she got her labs back. Her LDL had jumped from 94 to 150.In this episode, Dr. Scher walks through one way to think about a rising LDL in the context of ketogenic therapy, and why the answer is almost never "stop doing what's working."You'll hear:Why total cholesterol is the least useful number to focus onWhy LDL is not the disease, vascular disease isWhat advanced imaging options exist for a more complete picture of heart healthWhy an initial LDL rise on keto may resolve on its own within a yearHow to have a productive conversation with your doctor about thisThis conversation sits at the heart of a bigger question, one that The Cholesterol Code documentary explores in depth.Featuring individuals whose lives were transformed by ketogenic therapy, only to see their LDL rise dramatically, the film asks an important question. Is abandoning a life-changing intervention really the right answer based on one biomarker alone? Is there a better way to assess heart health?

Are we turning to ADHD and depression medications too quickly for kids?The Wall Street Journal and New York Times recently published powerful investigations into the overuse of psychiatric medications in children. In this video, Dr. Bret Scher unpacks the key takeaways, the risks of polypharmacy, and why a comprehensive, root-cause approach is more important than ever for kids facing mental health challenges.

In dieser Folge spreche ich mit Professor Oliver Tüscher, Psychiater und Neurologe am Center for Healthy Aging in Mainz sowie Leiter einer großen Forschungsgruppe am Leibniz-Institut für Resilienzforschung. Gemeinsam beleuchten wir die faszinierende und zugleich herausfordernde Frage: Was passiert eigentlich in unserem Gehirn, wenn wir älter werden – und können wir diesen Prozess beeinflussen? Professor Tüscher erforscht mit 15 Partnerinstituten des Leibniz-Forschungsverbundes Resilient Aging, warum manche Menschen bis ins hohe Alter kognitiv fit bleiben, während andere deutlich abbauen. Die Ergebnisse seiner Age-Gain-Studie zeigen: 20 Prozent der älteren Menschen behalten ihre kognitive Leistungsfähigkeit auf erstaunlich hohem Niveau. Wir sprechen über die Rolle von kardiovaskulären Risikofaktoren, Epigenetik, dem glymphatischen System und einer bahnbrechenden 20-Jahres-Studie, die erstmals belegt, welches kognitive Training tatsächlich Demenz vorbeugen kann. In dieser Folge sprechen wir u.a. über folgende Themen: Warum beginnt die Gehirnalterung bereits ab Mitte 40 – und welche ersten Anzeichen sollte man ernst nehmen? Was passiert beim durchschnittlichen Altern im Gehirn auf zellulärer und struktureller Ebene? Wie beeinflussen kardiovaskuläre Risikofaktoren wie Bluthochdruck und Cholesterin die Gehirnalterung? Weshalb wird die Blut-Hirn-Schranke im Alter durchlässiger – und welche Folgen hat das? Was bedeutet kognitive Resilienz und warum bleiben 20 Prozent der Bevölkerung geistig jung? Wie hängen die beiden Gehirnhälften mit resilientem Altern zusammen? Was hat die Age-Gain-Studie über die Rolle der Genetik und Epigenetik beim Altern herausgefunden? Warum ist das glymphatische System entscheidend für die Gehirngesundheit – und welche Rolle spielt der Schlaf dabei? Welches kognitive Training kann laut einer 20-Jahres-Studie das Demenzrisiko um 25 Prozent senken? Weshalb ist Hörverlust einer der stärksten beeinflussbaren Risikofaktoren für kognitiven Abbau? Wie beeinflusst soziale Interaktion die kognitive Reserve und das Altern des Gehirns? Was können wir heute schon konkret tun, um unser Gehirn langfristig jung und leistungsfähig zu halten? Weitere Informationen zu Professor Oliver Tüscher findest du hier: https://www.umh.de/news/oliver-tuescher-ist-neuer-professor-fuer-psychiatrie-und-psychotherapie  Du interessierst dich für Gesunde Langlebigkeit (Longevity) und möchtest ein Leben lang gesund und fit bleiben, dann folge mir auch auf den sozialen Kanälen bei Instagram, TikTok, Facebook oder YouTube. https://www.instagram.com/nina.ruge.official https://www.tiktok.com/@nina.ruge.official https://www.facebook.com/NinaRugeOffiziell https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOe2d1hLARB60z2hg039l9g Disclaimer: Ich bin keine Ärztin und meine Inhalte ersetzen keine medizinische Beratung.

If you carry the ApoE4 gene, you've likely been told your risk for Alzheimer's disease is significantly higher. But what does that really mean, and how much control do you actually have?In this video, Dr. Bret Scher breaks down the science behind ApoE4, one of the strongest genetic risk factors for Alzheimer's disease, and explains why increased risk does not mean a predetermined outcome.You'll learn how ApoE4 may influence brain health through inflammation, lipid metabolism, and energy use, and why lifestyle and environment play a critical role in shaping these pathways.This video also explores:Why ApoE4 does not guarantee Alzheimer's diseaseWhat research shows about traditional populations with low dementia ratesHow metabolic health, diet, and lifestyle may influence brain agingNew research challenging common assumptions about meat, fat, and dementia riskThe role of key nutrients like B12, iron, and amino acids in brain functionDr. Scher also reviews recent observational studies suggesting that higher meat consumption may be associated with lower dementia risk in ApoE4 carriers, challenging long-standing dietary narratives.The takeaway: your genes are one piece of the puzzle. Your daily choices, environment, and metabolic health may play a powerful role in shaping long-term brain outcomes.

Diese Podcast-Episode erschien erstmalig am 10.12.2025 im O-Ton-Diabetologie. Prof. Dr. Hans Scherübl (Charité, Berlin) und Prof. Dr. Stephan Herzig (Helmholtz Munich, Neuherberg) beleuchten die enge und oft unterschätzte Verbindung zwischen Typ-2-Diabetes und Tumorerkrankungen. Die beiden Vorsitzenden der Arbeitsgemeinschaft Diabetes und Krebs der Deutschen Diabetes Gesellschaft (DDG) erläutern, warum Tumore mittlerweile die häufigste Todesursache bei Menschen mit Typ-2-Diabetes sind, welche Mechanismen – von Hyperinsulinämie bis zur chronischen Entzündung – dahinterstehen und wie gezielte Prävention wirkt. Die Experten unterstreichen dabei auch die gemeinsamen Risikofaktoren für Diabetes und Krebs wie Übergewicht, Bewegungsmangel und unausgewogene Ernährung. Leider nehmen Menschen mit Diabetes trotz erhöhten Risikos seltener an der Krebsvorsorge teil. Der Appell von Prof. Herzig und Prof. Scherübl lautet daher: Lebensstiländerung ist auch Tumorprävention – und Prävention ist nach wie vor die wirksamste Form moderner Krebsmedizin. Zudem geht es im Gespräch um die Arbeit der DDG-Arbeitsgemeinschaft, die sich für interdisziplinäre Forschung, bessere Früherkennung und ein stärkeres Bewusstsein für die Zusammenhänge zwischen Diabetes und Krebs einsetzt.

If you only read the headlines, it sounds simple: plants are protective, red meat is harmful. But when you examine the actual studies behind those claims, the conclusions aren't nearly so clear.In this video, Dr. Bret Scher takes a closer look at two recently published papers, one linking red meat consumption to diabetes risk and another suggesting vegetarian diets reduce cancer risk. Both studies rely on observational nutrition data, which can reveal associations but cannot prove cause and effect.In this video, you'll learn:Why many nutrition headlines oversimplify complex researchThe difference between observational studies and causal evidenceHow healthy user bias and lifestyle confounding can distort resultsWhy hazard ratios in nutrition studies are often too small to draw meaningful conclusionsHow media coverage and expert commentary can reinforce existing dietary narrativesDr. Scher explains why these studies may say more about overall lifestyle patterns like calorie intake, diet quality, alcohol use, and smoking, than about individual foods like red meat or plant-based diets.The bigger takeaway: nutrition science is nuanced, and the best diet for metabolic health may vary from person to person. Instead of focusing on simplistic narratives like “meat bad, plants good,” we should focus on improving overall dietary quality and metabolic health.

Letošnji festival literatur sveta Fabula – ki poteka že od leta 2003 – se do konca meseca odvija pod večplastnim sloganom »(so)odgovorni«, in tako zadeva temeljno vprašanje naše dobe: kako sobivati in delovati v svetu krize zaupanja, razkroja resnice in vseprisotnega občutka nemoči. Eden od letošnjih gostov je bil prav na mednarodni dan žena, 8. marca Jonas Lüscher, v Münchnu živeči esejist in pisatelj iz Švice, točneje iz Berna. Razlog je bil predstavitev prevoda njegovega tretjega, lani v izvirniku izdanega romana z naslovom »Začarana usojenost«, v izvirniku »Verzauberte Vorbestimmung«. Od njegove tudi v našem jeziku dostopne mednarodne uspešnice »Pomlad barbarov« iz leta 2013 in romana »Kraft« iz leta 2017, se v njegovih knjigah prepletajo pripovedi o spremembi razmerij in odnosov med človekom in tehnologijo skozi čas. Pogovor v dvorani Alme Karlin v ljubljanskem Cankarjevem domu sva začela z mojo začetno dilemo o ustreznosti prevoda naslova, ki se je kmalu izkazala za neutemeljeno.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Bret Scher, medical director of the Coalition for Metabolic Health.

Dr. Bret Scher, medical director of the Coalition for Metabolic Health, discusses making metabolic health the foundation of medicine amid rising obesity and type 2 diabetes and reports that 93% of Americans have suboptimal metabolic health. Scher defines metabolic health using markers including glucose, insulin, triglycerides, HDL, blood pressure, and waist size, and cites evidence linking insulin resistance to heart disease, stroke, cancer, psychiatric illness, and other complications. They discuss simple self- and lab-assessments (waist-to-height ratio, fasting insulin with glucose/HOMA-IR, triglyceride-to-HDL ratio, CGMs). Scher critiques the Eat Lancet report for assuming one optimal diet, reliance on low-quality nutrition epidemiology, potential nutrient shortfalls, and environmental oversimplification, while supporting newer dietary guidelines that allow lower-carb approaches. Part two covers contradictory nutrition studies, distinctions between low-carb and ketogenic diets, emerging “metabolic psychiatry” and ketogenic therapy for mental illness and cognitive decline, limits and rebound risks of GLP-1 drugs, and Coalition efforts to improve school food and influence policy.

This week's host, John Arndt, is joined by Author Rod Scher to chat what we can learn from some of the most fascinating & tragic shipwrecks in history. Rod's latest book is Ship of Lost Souls: The Tragic Wreck of the Steamship Valencia, and he's currently writing a book on The Wreck of the Steamship Pacific. Hear the mistakes that led to the wrecks of Valencia & Pacific, why you need to trust your instruments, how to avoid catastrophes, who is really in charge on the water, and why it's important to read about disasters.

A new meta-analysis just dropped, and once again, saturated fat takes center stage. But does the data actually support the decades-long warnings we've heard about saturated fat and heart disease? Not exactly.In this video, Dr. Bret Scher dives deep into a recent study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine that reviewed randomized controlled trials on saturated fat intake and health outcomes.Despite the headlines and abstract language hinting at risk, a closer look at the data reveals no statistically significant increase in heart attacks, strokes, or early death, even with modest increases in LDL.So why the disconnect between what the data shows and what the authors claim? Dr. Scher breaks it down and explores the nuances often missing from the conversation about saturated fat, including context like food quality, carbohydrate intake, metabolic health, and lifestyle factors that make a big difference.

February is Heart Health Month, making it the perfect time to challenge common misconceptions about diet and cardiovascular health.One claim that always resurfaces? That ketogenic diets are bad for your heart. But when you take a closer look at the science, that assumption simply doesn't hold up.In this video, Dr. Bret Scher breaks down the real evidence behind ketogenic diets and cardiovascular risk, addressing:✅ How many “keto” studies don't actually study true ketogenic diets✅ The truth about LDL cholesterol on keto (it doesn't go up for everyone!)✅ Why triglycerides, HDL, insulin, and inflammation may matter more than LDL✅ How keto compares to DASH for blood pressure and metabolic health✅ Why saturated fat from real food behaves differently in the body✅ The critical difference between ultra-processed high-fat/high-carb diets and low-carb, whole-food ketogenic diets

Sendungshinweis: FM4 Morning Show, 10.12.2025, 6 Uhr

Picasso once said, “Good artists copy, great artists steal.” It wasn't just a quote, it was a warning. Because every great designer, from Rand to Scher to Draplin, has stolen their way to mastery. The only difference is that they knew how to do it right.Here's what most designers don't want to admit... we all steal. Fonts, layouts, grids, styles, everything you create is built on someone else's foundation. The problem isn't theft. The problem is that too many designers steal without understanding what they're taking. Lazy designers copy the surface. Great designers steal the soul.This week, on The Angry Designer Podcast, we dive into the controversial art of creative theft, and why it's not a crime but a craft. From dissecting the difference between imitation and transformation to learning how to absorb influences like a pro, we're showing you how to steal smarter and design better.In this episode, you'll discover:-The unspoken rules of creative theft every designer needs to know- Why copying can be the fastest way to build mastery- How to transform influence into something that's undeniably yoursDesign education isn't about learning to being original. It's about understanding what came before you and how to make it yours. You can keep pretending your work came from thin air, or you can embrace the truth: the best designers are thieves with taste, intent, and vision.Stay Angry our Friends –––––––––––Join Anger Management for Designers Newsletter at https://tinyurl.com/mr4bb4j3Want to see more?

What is treatment resistant depression and perhaps more importantly, what does it say about the ineffective care many receive?Treatment-resistant depression (TRD) is defined as major depressive disorder (MDD) that fails to respond to at least 2 anti-depressant medications.Nearly 10% of the adult population in the U.S. experience a major depressive episode each year. The numbers in our youth are even more alarming with some studies suggesting that between 40-50% of college-aged students are living with depression.While anti-depressant medications tend to be the first-line treatment for MDD, as Dr. Georgia Ede highlights, “it's more common not to respond to standard antidepressants than it is to respond to them.”This makes TRD the “norm”, but the name itself is misleading.It doesn't mean your brain is broken or that you've run out of options. In fact, it says more about the limits of our current standard of treatments than about you.In this first episode of a three-part series, cardiologist Dr. Bret Scher sits down with Harvard-trained psychiatrist @GeorgiaEdeMD‬ to unpack what treatment-resistant depression really means, why it's more common than most people think, and why the term can be so harmful.In this episode, you'll learn:How depression is diagnosedThe surprising prevalence of TRDWhy antidepressants often fail to deliver lasting reliefThe biological factors (from inflammation to metabolic dysfunction) that may be driving MDDThe importance of broadening the treatment toolbox beyond medicationIf you or someone you love has been labeled with “treatment-resistant” depression, this conversation is an important reminder: there are other options to explore, and more importantly, there is hope.Be on the lookout for episode 2 of this 3-part TRD series, where Dr. Scher and Dr. Ede cover alternative treatments and cutting-edge therapies including neurostimulation, psychedelic-assisted therapy, and metabolic interventions that could offer new hope.Expert Featured:Dr. Georgia EdeWebsite: https://www.diagnosisdiet.com/Book: https://www.diagnosisdiet.com/change-your-diet-change-your-mindYouTube: ‪@GeorgiaEdeMD‬X: https://x.com/GeorgiaEdeMDIG: https://www.instagram.com/georgiaedemd/Follow our channel for more information and education from Bret Scher, MD, FACC, including interviews with leading experts in Metabolic Psychiatry.Learn more about metabolic psychiatry and find helpful resources at https://metabolicmind.org/About us:Metabolic Mind is a non-profit initiative of Baszucki Group working to transform the study and treatment of mental disorders by exploring the connection between metabolism and brain health.
