Metabolic Moments: 101 Nutrition and Neuroscience

This post is the first in a series of Metabolic Moments - interviews with one of
our nutritional consultants at CorePsych, Camille Gallinger CN. Her bio and contact info is over here at CorePsych People.

Camille is an esteemed colleague, experienced for years using specific evidence to adjust destructive metabolic imbalances that significantly contribute to acute and chronic psych issues. The word Metabolic simply means the cellular and molecular activity, not measured by traditional labs, can significantly impair the effectiveness of traditional psych meds.

At CorePsych we often find in the first visit that clients have had years of trying different meds and "nothing seems to work right."

Three basic reasons that happens:

1. The meds are wrong for that diagnosis, or wrong diagnosis treated with those meds [you can't treat ADD with an antidepressant effectively].
2. Metabolic patterns with drug interactions occur that preclude them working the way they should [as I have noted in many previous posts Prozac and Paxil block 2D6 so a drug like Adderall most often becomes toxic over time].
3. And very often, as we will cover in this interesting series on Metabolic Moments with Camille, the meds cannot be used by the body for many unseen fixable reasons.

This series of podcasts is about all of those issues:
