  • Great podcast but…

    I think some great topics are covered on this podcast and as an endocrinologist passionate about treating metabolic health I appreciate the progressive approach taken here. That being said I had to stop listening to the Andy Galpin talk 5 minutes in because the arrogance was just so toxic and grating. What a shame because I’ve heard him on many other podcasts and used to enjoy listening to him.

  • Putting it together

    I work as a clinic pharmacist, and for years have seen the ills of medicating chronic illness while people stay, well, ill. The Metabolic Link provides excellent, evidence based information for helping reverse to many problems with chronic illness: From obesity and type 2 diabetes to the emerging world of mental health. If you are a lay person, practitioner, or just someone curious about how you can own your health with the latest evidence, the Metabolic Link is for you.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Treating PTSD When Standard Care Falls Short: A Hyperbaric Oxygen Protocol | Dr. Keren Doenyas-Barak, MD | The Metabolic Link Ep. 97
Q: How do you manage memory surfacing during treatment?
Memories surfacing are managed through collaboration with external therapists; patients are kept safe and calm, and therapists are engaged to process the memory using approaches that fit the patient, with no single universal method.
Treating PTSD When Standard Care Falls Short: A Hyperbaric Oxygen Protocol | Dr. Keren Doenyas-Barak, MD | The Metabolic Link Ep. 97
Q: Can you describe the HBOT protocol that is best supported for treatment-resistant PTSD?
A regenerative protocol of 60 sessions, five days a week for 12 weeks, two hours per session with 90 minutes to 100% oxygen, pressure at two atmospheres, and cycles of 20 minutes on/5 minutes off to promote regenerative mechanisms while avoiding oxygen toxicity.
Treating PTSD When Standard Care Falls Short: A Hyperbaric Oxygen Protocol | Dr. Keren Doenyas-Barak, MD | The Metabolic Link Ep. 97
Q: What gap in conventional care convinced you that HBOT was worth pursuing for PTSD?
Conventional PTSD treatments like CBT and pharmacotherapy have limited response rates, with less than 40% responding overall and even fewer for intrusive symptoms, suggesting a biological intervention like HBOT could target brain networks and autonomic imbalance.
Metabolic Psychiatry in Clinical Practice: Brain Energy, Common Pitfalls, & Precision Nutrition | Dr. Bret Scher, MD | The Metabolic Link Ep. 95
Q: What are the biggest barriers to wider clinical adoption of metabolic psychiatry?
Persistent bias and misunderstanding of ketosis as a medical intervention, lack of medical training on ketogenic therapies, and the perception of ketosis as only a weight-loss fad rather than a therapeutic metabolic state.
Metabolic Psychiatry in Clinical Practice: Brain Energy, Common Pitfalls, & Precision Nutrition | Dr. Bret Scher, MD | The Metabolic Link Ep. 95
Q: What sparked the shift from conventional cardiology to metabolic psychiatry?
The shift grew from repeated patient struggles with lifestyle adherence and a realization that traditional messages were too difficult to implement in short visits, leading to a pursuit of ketogenic therapies and a broader metabolic health approach.
