Fuel for the Mind: Dr. Bhargav Patel on Nutrition, Trauma, and the Future of Healing

In this episode of Healthy Waves, we dive into the vital intersection of nutrition, trauma, and mental health with Dr. Bhargav Patel—psychiatrist, trauma researcher at Brown University, AI strategist, and CEO of Mypeak. Dr. Patel unpacks the often-overlooked link between food and mood, explains how trauma impacts the body and brain, and shares a 4-step framework to transform pain into growth. From Ayurvedic wisdom to cutting-edge AI tools in psychiatry, this conversation is packed with insights for anyone seeking deeper healing and sustained resilience.

About the Guest:Dr. Bhargav Patel is a multifaceted leader shaping the future of mental health. He serves as a psychiatrist and trauma researcher at Brown University, leads Mypeak—an award-winning health optimization company—and is a clinical AI strategist. He blends ancient wisdom with modern science to advance trauma recovery, nutritional psychiatry, and tech-enabled mental wellness. His upcoming book The Trauma Transformed explores healing and post-traumatic growth.

Key Takeaways:

  • The connection between nutrition and mental health dates back to Ayurveda and is now resurfacing in modern psychiatry.

  • Trauma and PTSD are distinct; only a small percentage of trauma cases develop into PTSD.

  • Healing requires processing trauma, activating brain plasticity, creating overriding experiences, and finding meaning.

  • AI can augment, not replace, mental health care—enhancing access while maintaining ethical guardrails.

  • Peak performance should follow healing, not bypass it. Optimization and deep recovery can coexist on a spectrum.

  • Nature, stillness, and personalized nutrition are future pillars of holistic leadership and mental health.
