Dr. Dom D'Agostino on Why Metabolic Health Matters for the Brain

Metabolic health may be the foundation of a healthy brain, and a growing community of researchers, clinicians, and educators is working to bring that message into mainstream medicine.

In this interview, Dr. Bret Scher talks with Dr. Dom D'Agostino at the Citizen Science Initiative (CoSci) conference to discuss everything from the recent screening of The Cholesterol Code documentary to the rise of N-of-1 research, the future of metabolic psychiatry, and the urgent need for nutrition education in medical schools.

In this conversation, you'll learn:

• Dr. D'Agostino’s reaction to The Cholesterol Code documentary and what stood out most
• How N-of-1 citizen science is reshaping the way we think about metabolic health
• Why metabolic health may be a stronger predictor of cardiovascular outcomes than LDL alone
• How nutrition education made its way into the USF College of Medicine curriculum
• What the latest research is revealing about ketogenic metabolic therapy and cancer, brain health, and immune function
• Why metabolic psychiatry is one of the most exciting emerging fields in medicine
• How exogenous ketones and ketogenic diets fit into clinical practice and ongoing research

This discussion offers a thoughtful look at where metabolic medicine is headed and why prioritizing whole-body health is becoming central to supporting the brain.
