Rates of autism and ADHD are rising alongside poor metabolic health in the population, indicating a potential link between metabolic dysfunction and neurodevelopmental disorders.

Metabolic health, particularly mitochondrial health, can be leveraged to treat and potentially cure psychiatric disorders like schizophrenia, autism, depression, bipolar disorder, and ADHD.

Nutrition plays a profound role in human metabolism, impacting mental health outcomes, especially in early life, such as breastfeeding's effect on brain development.

There is a significant relationship between childhood trauma and the increased risk of developing various mental health disorders and metabolic diseases later in life.

Research is underway to establish biomarkers that can predict mitochondrial dysfunction and potentially identify children at risk for neurodevelopmental disorders.

The focus of research should shift from merely treating conditions to understanding and improving metabolic health to prevent mental health disorders.

Malnutrition during pregnancy increases the risk of mental and metabolic disorders in children, including obesity, diabetes, and schizophrenia.

Only 7% of Americans are healthy across all five biomarkers of metabolic syndrome, highlighting a public health crisis that impacts neurodevelopment.

93% of Americans have some metabolic dysfunction, and psychiatric illnesses are rising in both children and adults.
