How glucose affects mental health
Complete transcript:
The Holistic Psychologist: What if your mental health issues, aren't a brain problem, but a metabolism problem. Studies show that conditions like depression, anxiety, and even bipolar are linked to how your brain processes energy, especially glucose. Your brain is the most energy-hungry organ in your body. And if it's not getting fueled properly, things start to break down. For example research shows that people who have depression, often have low glucose metabolism in key areas of their brain.
This means that their brain isn't efficiently able to turn fuel into energy, leading to fatigue, brain fog, and mood instability. It's not just depression, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder have been linked to insulin resistance. Meaning that their body struggles to regulate blood sugar, which directly affects brain function so instead of looking at mental illness as a chemical imbalance, we need to be asking how is the brain getting its energy? Is blood sugar stable or is it constantly spiking and crashing? Is insulin resistance playing a role? Because when you fix your metabolic health, you don't just change your physical health you change your mental health too.
