In this episode of the Smarter Not Harder Podcast, Dr. Matthew Bernstein joins Jodi Duval for a pioneering conversation about the rise of metabolic psychiatry — the intersection of mitochondrial health, nutrition, and brain performance. From ketogenic therapy to personalized mental health biomarkers, this episode offers a radically hopeful perspective on treating conditions like depression, OCD, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia.

Join us as we explore:
• What metabolic psychiatry is and why it matters now
• How insulin resistance, inflammation, and mitochondria affect mood and cognition
• Why ketones aren't just fuel — but also powerful brain signals
• Tools like CGMs, RCTs, and the ACCORD program
• Supplements and real-world protocols for psychiatric healing

This episode is for you if:
• You or someone you love has struggled with medication-resistant mental illness
• You're curious how nutrition and metabolism affect the brain
• You want a psychiatrist's view on keto, CGMs, and continuous feedback
• You believe mental health deserves smarter, not harder solutions

In this episode of the Smarter Not Harder Podcast, Cynthia Thurlow joins Dr. Scott Sherr for a wide-ranging and refreshingly honest conversation about fasting, female hormones, GLP-1s, and navigating midlife as a high-performing woman. With clarity and nuance, Cynthia breaks down what works — and what backfires — when it comes to metabolic health for women over 35.

Join us as we delve into:
• Why intermittent fasting isn't a one-size-fits-all solution
• How hormone shifts change the fasting game for women
• What GLP-1s like Ozempic and Wegovy really do — and don't do
• How to stay metabolically flexible through perimenopause

This episode is for you if:
• You're a woman over 35 trying to fast smarter, not harder
• You're curious about GLP-1s but want balanced, science-based insight
• You've hit a metabolic wall and need smarter strategies
• You want practical, hormone-informed tools for fat loss and focus
