#315 How to Heal the Modern Brain with Food, Grounding and Gratitude | Dr Drew Ramsey MD

What if there were chemicals in the air and energy charges in the ground that benefit your brain for better clarity and protection against mental illness? This is what today’s guest has written about in his research and why his prescriptions for better mental health include nature, food, movement, and gratitude.


In this episode I’m joined by Dr. Drew Ramsey, board-certified psychiatrist, author, and pioneer in nutritional psychiatry, to talk about how we can strengthen our mental fitness in today’s world.

🥦 The power of food and myokines from exercise to fight inflammation

🙏 Simple grounding practices, purpose, and gratitude as medicine for the mind

🌄 Drew’s personal journey moving to the mountains and finding balance with his family


Dr. Ramsey shares practical, science-backed tools for building resilience, protecting your mental health, and reconnecting with what matters most.
