- Metabolic Psychiatry - How Our Brains and Moods Are Governed by Our Metabolism
In this compelling extract from IMMH 2023, Dr. Robert Lustig, a globally recognized paediatric neuroendocrinologist, delves into the intricate connections between diet, metabolic health and mental health. Dr. Lustig, with a career marked by extensive research and advocacy, shows us how dietary choices profoundly influence brain function and neurochemistry and contribute to various mental health disorders. His pioneering work underscores the critical role of metabolic health for maintaining optimal mental well-being.
Dr. Lustig has a stellar academic and clinical career, with a BSc in Nutritional Biochemistry from MIT, an MD from Cornell University Medical College, and an MSL from the University of California, Hastings College of the Law.
He is Emeritus Professor of Paediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and throughout his career has made significant contributions to the understanding of the adverse effects of sugar and processed foods on public health, and has been instrumental in advocating for changes in dietary guidelines and public health policies aimed at combating the global epidemic of chronic metabolic diseases.
Dr. Lustig’s extensive research portfolio includes over 125 peer-reviewed articles published in renowned journals such as Nature, The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism and The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. He is also an acclaimed author, with notable books including Fat Chance: Beating the Odds Against Sugar, Processed Food, Obesity, and Disease, The Hacking of the American Mind: The Science Behind the Corporate Takeover of Our Bodies and Brains, and Metabolical: The Lure and Lies of Processed Food, Nutrition, and Modern Medicine.
In this episode, learn about:
- The alarming rise in global metabolic and mental health disorders and their intricate connections
Mechanisms by which sugar and fructose function as mitochondrial toxins and cause oxidative stress in neuronal cells, contributing to neurological and psychiatric disorders
- The therapeutic potential of ketogenic diets in treating neuropsychiatric conditions, including bipolar disorder and schizophrenia
-The effects of insulin resistance on neuronal energy metabolism and its implications for mental health
- The impact of gut microbiota and the gut-brain axis on mental health, emphasising dietary interventions to support these systems
- Evidence-based dietary interventions for improved metabolic and mental health outcomes
- The role of chronic low-grade inflammation in mood disorders and the influence of dietary factors in modulating inflammatory states
We are thrilled that Dr. Lustig is one of our keynote speakers at the IMMH 2024 Conference in Washington DC from 10-13 October, and will be giving two presentations on Technology Addiction in Children and "Amygdala Unchained" Ground Zero for the Syndemic and the Meta-Crisis

Dr lustig I just wanted to thank you for your decades long crusade against big pharma and the food industry and particularly the destructive effects of sugar on our body. Because of you I stopped all direct sugar consumption, buy mostly fresh produce and I scrutinize all labels. I have lost 30 pounds without trying to loose weight - just trying to get healthy. I was not overweight when I started - 153lbs. My triglycerides went from 394 down to 141 and my high blood pressure is stable at 135/85. I had an Incomplete LBBB which i think is “gone” I will know when I see my cardiologist in August. I believe you have added a decade to my life , I am 78 - now a healthy 78:). No one has the ability to to explain such complex subject matter as you do and that is probably why this complex travesty has been allowed to happen to us God bless you - you are loved and respected by millions.
greed is why this complex travesty has happened. and the spinelessness of bureaucrats.
@@atthebijou8209 correct.. And beware, there's a lot of rotation between e.g. the FDA and BIG Pharma. Fun fact: FDA's coffers are filled for some 80% by the industry they control.
Other fun fact: the protocols and guidelines that doctors, dieticians and institutions are to follow ("best practice") are written by committees that are out populated by...YOU GUESSED IT!!
BIG Pharma and BIG Food! 🤫
@@atthebijou8209 Its true ...its all about money , but the good news is that we can choose to eat the wholefoods that are edible.
Absolutely agree! He changed my life and the status of my health as well!
Over what amount of time did you lose the weight? I’m down 18 pounds (actually overall 30 lbs) since cutting out sugars, processed foods, and eating OMAD. Pretty much just meat and non-starchy vegetables. I’m feeling so much better.
Dr. Lustig is the best! The way he explains these complex things, backing up with science and then giving actionable easy solutions is precious!
I threw away all my sweets on 1/3/24 and 5 month later 20 lbs lighter (123) not even trying to do anything else. My labs- triglycerides and fasting sugar improved in 1.5 months.
Just like his kids who spontaneously started exercising - I started as well. What really surprised me is how strong and energetic I feel now, sleeping better and plain feel happy. Back and joint pain is gone.
Dr. Lustig’s lecture changed my life and I’m not going back to where I was before. Let’s all be strong and healthy thanks to this wonderful doc! 💪🌹🌷
When I Was a kid in the 50s my old relatives had exactly the same conclusion.
The man concuded the bad consequences of sugar industry on brain health, specialy on women.
The man was born in 1890, the sugar factory began in 1895 But sugar was in production first around 1905.
The man did not eat sugar or margarine, at that very poisinius,but fresh fish every day.
When the man was 85 he stated , I dont know any one any more they are all gone and so are thier children.
He lived healthy to 95.
Dr.Lustig is an incredible communicator. Thank you doc!
David Kessler deserves accolades for the book End of Overeating where he explains the dangers of processed foods, making foods highly palatable by adding sugar, fat and salt.
Beautiful interview! Thanks Doc Lustig- I frequently listen to you and deeply appreciate your work and your efforts in educating the general public.
🌹💜💎🙏
Magnificent presentation as always Dr Lustig. I am fighting with your French publisher so that he can publish your latest book for French readers who would greatly benefit from knowing you.
All the processed foods. That and covid jabs.
brilliant presentation
I happily switched from Erythritol and Stevia to Allulose. After 1 week I developed a continual dull headache. I removed the Allulose and the headache disappeared. Added it back in and the headache returned. Removed again and headache disappeared.
So very sad that I can’t use Allulose but grateful for Erythritol and Stevia that I blend 1/4 cup Erythritol to 1/4 tsp Stevia. Replace 1 to 1 for sugar. It’s the closest taste to sugar I find. For fruit and additional flavor In baking I add Truvia or EzSweets. I’ve reversed my diabetes and lost lots of inches and have great hope for the future. Keto diets still make me nervous but I’m considering a Keto diet for the future. I am doing 16/8 IF but lower carb high protein for a couple of months. I can’t kick the Klondike bars a couple of times a wee, yet. Good luck to you all
Dr. Lustig has helped me more than all the doctors I’ve seen in my life for these issues. I am a 63 year old female.
Beautiful presentation 👏👏! Thank you!
The problem is that all carbs end up as glucose then glycogen in the body. So there has to more to it than trying to pin it both on sugar and fructose. Latter has a different metabolic pathway to the former anyway.
Thank you for this priceless important information!!
well done, THANKS!
dr lustig i just want to thank you for your knowledge and guidance. i am from india. thank you sir.
Looking good Doc 😊
😂
Thank you!
He said ´Make the introduction short´ she did not, well, in this case 3 minutes was really too long. But he is dam´n so good and understandable for simple souls like me.
Brillant Our bodies are so simple - we just need to be vilagant with our decisions to our health

Where is the best place for us to buy this allulose sugar substitute?
I bought it off Amazon. It is a very good sugar substitute. I have never been able to stand any artificial sweeteners but this one. I maybe use 2 tsp a week on berries and cream.
thank you both for this very insightful video.. i just have one question regarding the last question about sugar alternatives to get the sweetness. Dr Lustig mentions allulose.. i am curious as to why stevia was not mentioned.. and when i say stevia, i mean strictly the powdered version of the herb with NOTHING added ( stevia rebaudiana).... it has zero calories, is not made in a lab..it comes from nature.. the only process it goes through is making it into a powder... i purchase mine from frontier co op.. certified organic stevia powder.. it is not white..it is green, as one would expect from an herb which is naturally green..
Yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The keto diet can be quite low in linoleic acid and is relatively high in saturated fat. If you can suppress the fat make genes as well as the desaturases and elongases, you can reduce the very long chain fats like nervonic acid which are implicated in psychosis. Additionally, if consumption of polyunsaturated fats is minimized, you mitigate the dangerous oxidents like 12hete implicated in a variety of health concerns. However, keto may not necessarily fix diabetes or metaboluc sysndrome because there can be a derangement in metabolizing bcaa amino acids which has a direct implication in insulin sensitivity, so if the majority of what your eating is high in bcaa's you will still have a blood sugar issue. More work needs to be done, but it looks more like dietary fat composition has major influence on health and metabolic inflexibility, inability to switch between carbohydrate burning and fat burning
Low pufa low bcaa ftw

Good evening!! So please shed some light on using honey as a sweetener; if it is made up of fructose and glucose, then it is still in the bad books even though it is a 'natural' product due to it being comprised of fructose and fructose is bad??? Geez, do I not have any pleasures left in life? If I can't have honey in my tea, what else is left to enjoy???
money of us suffer anxiety due to the neurological stress having to filter music and other extraneous noises from the actual person's voice. Even one minute is torturous, it was OK as a kid when ads might play for 15 seconds. please help end this horrible fad thinking music must be added to everything. Any background sound I usually fast-forward and stay if it was just a brief jingle or intro. My TBI brain always diverts to the music as it tries to filter it. i've learned to swiftly hit the pause button, or it's vertigo nausea. Same goes for all of the new strobe light rapid oscillations that ought to be illegal To produce, not just warning us to brace ourselves… it's good to become aware of all forms of toxicity and harm to living things. Thanks for good works.
The introduction is too long !
Is the use of glucose as a sweetner , bad..
Sucrose, or table sugar is one molecule of fructose and one molecule of fructose. Glucose is the basic substrate of all carbohydrates. “Glucose molecules holding hands” are all complex carbohydrates. An enzyme in your saliva and stomach immediately separates complex carbohydrates into glucose, which raises your blood sugar.
The body makes glucose according to need. You never need to eat it.
Fructose is the sweet part of sucrose. Sweet is addictive. Cut out sweetness for a week or two and you’ll get past the cravings.
Hope this helps you support your mitochondria with your fork👍🏻😀
The species is almost finished..sad to say. What comes next? Life..not humans…goes on. Always better..expanded..evolved.
It seems as humans are devolving but yes, extinction is part of the evolution process and we are at the end of at least the 8th mass extinction event.
So are you saying not to eat fruit?
NO! Eat fruit in its whole state. Don't juice it where it loses it's fibre content.
Only eat fruit whole and in season and locally grown organic
Example... no fruit in winter if you live in Norway
Brown rice vs white rice? White bread vs whole wheat?
Our Obiden President is a reason
I thought the introduction would never end
Long intro because no one has that long list of impressive credentials that need to be pointed out because dr lustig is so modest about those extraordinary achievements.
This interviewer is one of the very best I have heard and she did an outstanding job introducing Dr. Lustig.
I can’t eat anything but meat. I am to addicted to carbs and sugar.
Gastroparesis is a horrid condition. I would not wish it upon anyone.
Dr. Lustig, you should do tic Tok videos to show us what you eat everyday.
Tell them weed is nice , I lost two people's as a child from said ways , y I can't, I smoke stuff for emotional damage!
& veggies & fish 🐟 r not only delicious but their low fat too, they can pig out on veggies, light on the butter!
Quiet demon!
NOTHING ON EARTH IS COMPLEX
Alex Jones was right
I've learned a lot from Dr. Lusting but it baffles me that he's still unaware about the highly negative effects of fiber. There's plenty of science against it.
Please reference your ‘science’. That is a strange statement.
@@brendafosmire6519 maybe it works for Coke or Pepsi 😂.
@@brendafosmire6519 Wake up. This isn't 1985 anymore. And I've got news for all you "SCiEnCe" numbnuts. This is CZcams, not a fckn research lab. No one has to provide you with anything.
I donno about "Plenty" - but there sure are some. I'm not too convinced about the microbiome argument too.
Put up or shut up.
dr. so now you know everything about everything? maybe a little carried away with the utube thing.
Irrelevant and silly comment. Grow up.
44:08 fruit has fiber and its good. Fruit juice is bad
I thought that ingesting anything initiated an insulin response, including finely pulverized fat and protein
Increase of GDP spent on healthcare I'm sure it was greatly influenced by inflation of the 70s.
