Is Poor Gut Health Or Sleep Issues Driving Your Depression, ADHD, And More?

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, InsideTracker, and
Pique Life.   Instead of using a pharmaceutical drug, what if
your doctor knew how to look deeper to find out what is causing
your depression, ADHD, or anxiety? While there is a time and a
place for drugs, they can have significant side effects and may not
be as effective at correcting an underlying imbalance in the body.
Functional Medicine practitioners look at gut health, genes, diet,
hormones, and so much more to create a thorough healing plan.
  In today’s episode, I talk with Dr. Uma Naidoo, Dr. George
Papanicolaou, and Dr. Drew Ramsey about how diet and lifestyle can
be both a cause of and treatment for depression and other mental
health issues.   Dr. Uma Naidoo is a Harvard-trained
psychiatrist, professional chef, and nutrition specialist. In her
role as a clinical scientist, Dr. Naidoo founded and directs the
first hospital-based clinical service in nutritional psychiatry in
the US. She is the Director of Nutritional and Lifestyle Psychiatry
at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and Director of Nutritional
Psychiatry at the Massachusetts General Hospital Academy while
serving on the faculty at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Naidoo is the
author of This is Your Brain on Food. ⁣   Dr. George
Papanicolaou is a graduate of the Philadelphia College of
Osteopathic Medicine and is board certified in family medicine from
Abington Memorial Hospital. Upon graduation from his residency, he
joined the Indian Health Service. In 2000, he founded Cornerstone
Family Practice in Rowley, MA. He began training in Functional
Medicine through the Institute for Functional Medicine. In 2015, he
established Cornerstone Personal Health—a practice dedicated
entirely to Functional Medicine. Dr. Papanicolaou joined The
UltraWellness Center in 2017.   Dr. Drew Ramsey is a
psychiatrist, author, farmer, and founder of the Brain Food Clinic
in New York City, offering treatment and consultation for
depression, anxiety, and emotional wellness concerns. He is the
