A Cambridge psychiatrist makes the case that inflammation is a key driver of depression — a mechanism connecting IL-6, TNF-alpha, and gut barrier research to mental health. Directly relevant to NOD2, IL-6 CG, and the gut-brain inflammation axis.
Bullmore, a Cambridge psychiatrist, makes the case that a subset of depression is driven by chronic low-grade inflammation — reviewing the IL-6, TNF-α, and CRP evidence, the response to anti-inflammatory drugs, and the gut/dental/rheumatologic conditions that connect immune activation to mood.
A finalist for the Royal Society Science Book Prize — one of the most important popular treatments of the 'immuno-psychiatry' movement.
These peer-reviewed studies connect to the core ideas in this book. Each result has been scored for reliability.
Dr. Panda leads one of the world's top labs on time-restricted eating and circadian biology. His research on meal timing and metabolic health maps directly to what peer-reviewed studies have found for MTNR1B GG carriers — making when you eat as important as what you eat.
Covers the research on how specific nutrients — omega-3s, B vitamins, fat-soluble vitamins — affect brain and metabolic function. Directly relevant to FADS1 and BCMO1 variant research on nutrient conversion efficiency.
Two researchers present the evidence for micronutrient support — including methylated B vitamins — in mental health. Directly relevant to MTHFR compound het and the connection between folate processing and neurotransmitter synthesis.
