Metabolic Therapy & Mental Health

How diet affects the brain, mood and resilience

Mental health isn't just about thoughts and feelings. It's also about the biochemistry of the brain — and diet plays an important role in regulating it.

Metabolic therapy is based on the understanding that the brain, like the rest of the body, needs the right “fuel” to function in balance. When there is inflammation, nutrient deficiency, or dysfunction in energy metabolism, mental symptoms such as:

• anxiety and nervousness

• depression and lack of motivation

• sleep disorders

• brain fog

• irritability and mood swings

  
  

🔬 The Science Behind the Metabolic Approach

The brain consumes approximately 20% of the body's energy. When the metabolic system malfunctions (e.g. insulin resistance, hypoglycemia, mitochondrial dysfunction), this also affects neurochemistry .

Metabolic therapy aims to:

• in balancing blood sugar

• improving mitochondrial function

• in anti-inflammatory action through diet and supplements

• increasing the stability of neurotransmitters (serotonin, GABA, dopamine)
