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.
