Metabolic Psychiatry Through a Cardiologist's Eyes | Dr. Bret Scher

📣 What happens when a prevention-focused cardiologist finds himself at the center of both a new field — metabolic psychiatry — and a documentary that's challenging everything we think we know about cholesterol? Dr. Bret Scher joins Ketobiography host Robyn Dobbins to talk about his journey from conventional cardiology into metabolic health advocacy and his role in The Cholesterol Code.📋 They explore how ketogenic therapies are reshaping care for serious mental illness, why LDL can't be understood in isolation from metabolic health, and what Bret hopes viewers will take away from the documentary.🔑 What You'll LearnWhy Bret felt "woefully trained" in prevention coming out of cardiology — and how that opened the door to metabolic health and ketoHow low-carb and ketogenic diets moved from "dangerous" in his mind to essential tools in both heart and brain healthThe story of Metabolic Mind, the Baszucki family, and how one son's bipolar recovery sparked a global push to transform psychiatryWhy metabolic psychiatry is suddenly growing fast, with new clinicians and trials emerging beyond Metabolic Mind's direct involvementHow Bret's work and perspective feed into The Cholesterol Code documentary — and why metabolic context matters when we talk about LDL and risk💡 Key Insight"Modern medicine is incredible at saving lives in a crisis — but when you see someone get their life back with a metabolic intervention, you realize we've been missing something huge in both cardiology and psychiatry." — Dr. Bret Scher🌐 Connect with Dr. Bret ScherMetabolic Mind: https://www.metabolicmind.orgCoalition for Metabolic Health: https://coalitionformetabolichealth.orgX: https://x.com/bschermdLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bret-scher-08baaa102YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@metabolicmind🎥 The Cholesterol Code: https://cholesterolcodemovie.com⚕️ This podcast is for informational and educational purposes only and is not medical advice; always consult a qualified healthcare professional about your own health decisions.⏳ Chapters0:47 Welcome and series setup3:47 Handling nerves and being "looked up to"6:47 From cardiology to metabolic medicine9:47 Jan, Matt, and the heart behind Metabolic Mind12:47 Exponential growth of metabolic psychiatry16:47 What traditional psychiatry misses and where keto fits20:47 Patient agency, bringing keto to your doctor, and safety24:47 How a health coach changed Bret's view of keto28:47 Cholesterol, risk, and lessons from recent data controversies32:47 Bret's role in The Cholesterol Code and reflections on the film🎧 New episodes drop every Thursday on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and all major platforms.🌱 Know someone with a keto success story?
