Latest podcast: Metabolic Neuropsychiatry

Zoltán Sarnyai, Professor of Psychiatry and Director of the Margaret Roderick Centre for Mental Health Research at James Cook University, argues that long before symptoms appear, the body and brain might be keeping score.

In this interview with Dr Adrian Lopresti, Professor Sarnyai introduces the concept of allostatic load and explores how this cumulative physiological burden may help explain the overlap between physical and psychiatric illness. With a rigorous discussion of the emerging evidence, the discussion is a compelling look at metabolic psychiatry and its potential to reshape clinical practice.
