Mental Health Starts at the Cellular Level | HOMe Podcast #007

from Health Optimization Medicine Podcast · host HOMe Podcast

In this episode of the Health Optimization Medicine Podcast, Boomer Anderson, Dr. Ted Achacoso, Dr. Scott Sherr, and Jodi Duval explore mental health through the lens of health optimization medicine. Rather than viewing mental health as a set of diagnoses, the conversation reframes it as a function of cellular health — where brain function is driven by mitochondrial performance, inflammation, nutrient status, and environmental inputs. From neurotransmitter imbalances to brain inflammation and the gut-brain-microbiome axis, this episode breaks down how modern stressors, lifestyle, and environment impact mental health at the cellular level. Most importantly, the team explains why true mental health optimization must begin with optimizing the health of the cell. Join us as we delve into: • Why mental health should be viewed at the cellular level • The role of mitochondria in brain energy and signaling • Brain inflammation and its impact on mood and cognition • The gut-brain-microbiome axis and neurotransmitter production • Why stress, sleep, and environment drive mental health outcomes This episode is for you if: • You struggle with brain fog, anxiety, or low mood • You want a deeper, root-cause understanding of mental health • You're a practitioner looking beyond traditional psychiatry • You want to optimize cognitive performance and resilience You can also find this episode on…YouTube: https://youtu.be/5xqAzkMUpBs Find more from Health Optimization Medicine and Practice (HOMeHOPe): Website: https://homehope.org/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/homehopeorg/ Virtual Symposium 2026: https://homehope.org/homehope-virtual-symposium-2026 Use PODCAST10 to get 10% OFF your purchase of the Clinical Metabolomics Module at https://homehope.org/products/clinical-metabolomics Find more from Troscriptions: Website: https://troscriptions.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/troscriptions/ Use POD10 to get 10% OFF your Troscriptions purchase at https://troscriptions.com/collections/our-products
