Nutritional Psychiatry with Dr. Drew Ramsey (Part 2)

Margaret and I are back with part two of our conversation with Dr. Drew Ramsey and this time, things get personal. I volunteered my real-life food log for a full nutritional psychiatry breakdown… and let’s just say my “ultra-processed protein” lifestyle did not escape unscathed. What started as a casual diet review turned into something deeper. A mentoring session about joy, creativity, and what it actually means to feed your brain. Margaret brings her psychodynamic insight, Dr. Ramsey brings the science, and I bring… a whole lot of protein powder and self-reflection. If you’ve ever tried to optimize your health but ended up missing the soul in your routine, this episode is for you. Takeaways: Why your “perfect” diet might still leave you mentally drained and what to do about it. The hidden emotional layers behind our food choices (yes, even that afternoon candy craving). How protein obsession became a modern wellness trap and what real balance looks like. The role of creativity, cooking, and joy in building true mental fitness. Why self-care means more than nutrients, it’s about structure, connection, and staying alive in this work. -- Watch on YouTube: @itspresro Listen Anywhere You Podcast: Apple, Spotify, PodChaser, etc. — Produced by Dr Glaucomflecken & Human Content Get in Touch: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠howtobepatientpod.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.
