Top Psychiatrist Reveals 3 Minerals That Can CHANGE Your Mood

Struggling with irritability, anxiety, or depression? A top psychiatrist reveals that the root cause might not be what you think, but rather a simple deficiency in three critical minerals that are essential for brain function. For decades, the conventional approach to mental health has overlooked the powerful connection between our biochemistry and our mood, leading to what many call a mental health crisis.

In this episode of the Dr. Hyman Show, Dr. Mark Hyman is joined by Dr. James Greenblatt, a pioneer in functional and nutritional psychiatry. He argues we don't have a mental health crisis, but a "crisis of care" because the answers to many of these conditions are hiding in plain sight—in our nutrition and mineral status.

In this conversation, you will discover the three minerals that can profoundly change your mood:

Magnesium: Learn why this is one of the most common deficiencies and how it is critically linked to anxiety, depression, ADHD, and insomnia.

Zinc: Understand the importance of the zinc-copper ratio and how zinc deficiency is a key factor in ADHD, eating disorders like anorexia, and even psychosis.

Lithium: Uncover the shocking truth about low-dose nutritional lithium. Dr. Greenblatt explains how this essential mineral, found in our water supply, is linked to lower rates of suicide and aggression, and why deficiency is on the rise.
