3 foods a Harvard psychiatrist says are quietly inflaming your brain. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Dr. Georgia Ede spent 25 years as a psychiatrist at Harvard treating depression, bipolar disorder, and early dementia.Her position, built over that career, is not a popular one in mainstream nutrition: the foods most commonly sold as brain-healthy are contributing to the exact problems they claim to prevent. Inflammation. Neurotransmitter disruption. Memory loss.<a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!iuCx!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:stee
ADHD might be a body clock problem. Here's what fixes it. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Your ADHD medication might be treating the wrong thing.Not entirely wrong — but upstream of the real driver in a large number of cases. Two Canadian researchers published a perspective paper in Frontiers in Psychiatry in December 2025 making an argument that the ADHD field has been slow to take seriously: for a significant subgroup of people with ADHD, the core problem is not dopamine.

Belly fat isn't a diet problem. Your nervous system is stuck in famine mode. (opens the original)

A year of deteriorating behaviour his parents had been told was a personality change.His doctors ran a biopsy. They found H. pylori — a spiral-shaped bacterium — colonising his stomach lining. His B12 was near zero. The bacterium had quietly destroyed his ability to absorb it until his brain ran out of the
Willpower didn't fail you. Your hunger hormones were rigged. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You didn’t fail the diet.The diet failed against 200,000 years of evolution — and evolution doesn’t lose.Katherine Saunders is an obesity medicine physician at Cornell. Her argument, delivered in a recent TED talk, is the one most weight loss advice refuses to make plainly: your body is not broken when it regains weight. It is doing exactly what it was designed to do. The hunger hormone ghrelin rises when you cut calories. The fullness hormones drop. Your metabolism slows. Every time. In every p
