    The Better Brain: Why Micronutrients Matter for Mental Health

    In this episode, we explore Dr. Bonnie Kaplan’s journey from skepticism to becoming a pioneer in nutritional psychiatry. We discuss the early stories that inspired broad-spectrum micronutrient research, the importance of scientific independence, barriers from regulators and media, and why vitamins and minerals work best together. We also examine how nutrient-rich blood supports the brain and why future researchers need better funding. - - - - - About the Guest: Dr. Bonnie J. Kaplan is a research psychologist, Professor Emerita at the University of Calgary’s Cumming School of Medicine, and one of the leading pioneers of nutritional psychiatry.

    Beyond Medication: A Systems-Based Approach to Mental Health

    In this episode, we explore Dr. Scott Shannon’s systems-based approach to psychiatry and why nutrition should be part of the mental health conversation. We discuss broad-spectrum micronutrients, mood instability, ADHD, adolescent care, medication tapering, trauma, whole foods, and informed choice. We also examine why healing should be measured over years, not weeks, and how care can help people regain independence. - - - - - About the Guest: Dr. Scott Shannon is an integrative psychiatrist, founder of the Wholeness Center, and a longtime advocate for treating the whole person rather than focusing only on psychiatric symptoms. Trained in child, adolescent, and adult psychiatry, he has spent decades exploring nutrition, broad-spectrum micronutrients, acupuncture, psychotherapy, lifestyle medicine, and emerging mental health therapies.
