In this episode of The Evolution of Medicine podcast, host James Maskell speaks with Dr. Matthew Bernstein about the emerging field of metabolic psychiatry. They explore how addressing metabolic health—particularly through ketogenic diets—can treat and, in some cases, reverse serious mental health conditions that conventional psychiatric medications often fail to resolve.

Through personal stories, clinical insights, and a forward-looking discussion on research and policy, the episode challenges the long-standing “chemical imbalance” narrative and reframes mental illness as a systemic, energy-based disorder rooted in metabolic dysfunction.

James Maskell interviews Dr. Matthew Bernstein on metabolic psychiatry, ketogenic diets, and the future of mental health care, exploring how metabolic health can reverse depression, bipolar disorder, and psychosis on The Evolution of Medicine Podcast.

Dr. Matthew Bernstein is a psychiatrist and pioneer in metabolic psychiatry. After a family health crisis involving his sons’ diagnosis of PANS (Pediatric Acute Neuropsychiatric Syndrome), he shifted away from medication-centric psychiatry toward addressing root causes such as metabolic dysfunction, inflammation, and immune dysregulation. He is the founder of Accord, an immersive metabolic health program near Boston.

In this episode of The Evolution of Medicine, host James Maskell sits down with researcher and author Dawson Church to explore the powerful intersection of mindset, spiritual intelligence, and brain health.

The conversation challenges the idea that Alzheimer’s is an inevitable genetic destiny, highlighting how lifestyle, thought patterns, and emotional practices can influence disease progression.

You’ll learn about the latest research showing how positive thinking, meditation, and relational spirituality can suppress Alzheimer’s gene expression, stimulate neuroplasticity, and improve memory and learning centers. Church also shares practical strategies for caregivers, emphasizing compassion, shared meditation, and building supportive connections to reduce stress and protect longevity.

Dawson Church and James Maskell explore mindset, spiritual intelligence, meditation, and lifestyle strategies to prevent Alzheimer’s, boost brain health, and support caregivers on The Evolution of Medicine Podcast.

Dawson Church is a researcher and author specializing in the interplay of mindset, spirituality, and brain health. He is known for exploring how meditation, relational spirituality, and positive emotional practices influence gene expression, neuroplasticity, and Alzheimer’s prevention.

This week on the podcast, we welcome Patti Lemer who last year gave me the opportunity to do something I’ve never done before, write the foreword to her new book. Patti is an OG in the autism space and a true pioneer in understanding the environmental drivers impacting children’s health.

The book is Total Load Theory. Many people know Patti from her earlier work, Outsmarting Autism, which drew from decades of hands-on experience working with kids on the spectrum. Long before environmental illness entered mainstream conversation, Patti was already mapping the terrain, looking at toxic burden, immune stress, and the cumulative impact of modern life on developing nervous systems.

As the cultural conversation shifted and the term “Outsmarting Autism” began to feel limiting, Patti revisited the work with fresh eyes. The result is Total Load Theory – a reframing grounded in functional medicine’s understanding of total allostatic load: the combined environmental, biochemical, infectious, emotional, and physiological burdens our children are carrying.
