    • Mental Health

In this episode of The Optimized Mind, Dr. Kate talks with John Lewis, past full-time and current Voluntary Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and the Founder and President of Dr Lewis Nutrition™. The discussion focuses on Dr. Lewis’ work in nutritional research, with emphasis on the power of polysaccharides in optimizing human health. Dr. Kate and Dr. Lewis dive into the ways in which polysaccharides modulate the immune response, serving as a protective factor in overall health and wellness. Dr. Lewis describes his groundbreaking research on the power of polysaccharides in combating Alzheimer’s Disease and a range of other neuro-degenerative conditions.  


John E. Lewis, Ph.D. is the Founder and President of Dr Lewis Nutrition and past full-time and current Voluntary Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. He is a Diplomate, Faculty Member, and Advisor of the Medical Wellness Association. He has been the principal investigator of over 30 different studies in his research career, focusing on evaluating the effects of nutrition, dietary supplementation, and exercise on various aspects of human health. 


Dr. Lewis has been an invited national and international lecturer at conferences and as a guest on television shows, where he discusses not only the findings of his research, but to provide guidance and recommendations as a health expert. He has over 180 peer-reviewed publications in some of the world’s leading scientific journals. A seminal publication from his Alzheimer’s study in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, not only spurred him to leave academics and pursue a science-based business career, but also enabled him to be selected for a widely-acclaimed TEDxMiami talk about how dietary supplementation can improve brain health. Dr. Lewis embodies the model of health by eating a whole-food, plant- based diet for over 26 years, taking certain key dietary supplements, and through a rigorous, daily exercise training program. John has a passion for educating others about the value of nutrition, exercise, and health, and he will continue to study the application of clinical nutrition for the benefit of mankind.
