GLP-1 and Ketosis: Novel Mental Health Treatments

GLP1 medications like Wegovy and Ozempic can help with weight loss but may also be able to help with psychiatric symptoms from depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, and more. But are GLP1s safe in psychiatry, and how do they compare to nutritional interventions like a ketogenic diet to treat mental health disorders? Dr. Roger McIntrye, a world-renowned psychiatrist and researcher, joins Metabolic Mind to discuss the potential roles of GLP1 medications and ketogenic therapy, and how clinicians and patients could consider their use.
