34.1 Functional Medicine with Patient/Physician/Cancer Survivor, Dr. Jill Carnahan, MD

In Part 2 of my series interviewing Dr. Jill Carnahan, a functional/integrative family/internal medicine physician and breast cancer survivor, we continue in our discussion on the blending of Western medicine with holistic/functional/integrative approaches.  Jill discusses her favorite labs to obtain to further investigate the gut microbiome, with her number one choice being a comprehensive stool sample analysis to reveal multiple various causes of inflammation in the gut, which extends into our entire body (and don't worry patients and providers, the sample is sent directly to the lab with results then sent to the provider).  We further discuss the devastating role of excess inflammation on the gut, brain, and body, with approaches like cutting soda intake, supplementing deficiencies, and connecting patients to their values as crucial and outcome-moving treatments for our patients.  We discuss the anti-inflammatory role of Lithium supplementation in treating mental health symptoms like anxiety, as well as medical/gut problems such as Crohn's disease, colitis, or inflammatory bowel disease.  Join us for Part 2 of our discussion, hope you enjoy! with an incredible medical origin story.  During medical school, Jill was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer, and fought through treatment while continuing her medical school journey.  Treatment was effective, but led to severe side effects/consequences in the form of Crohn's Disease, a type of inflammatory bowel disease that causes digestive tract inflammation and sometimes requiring major abdominal surgery to resect diseased parts of the bowel.  Through all of this, Dr. Carnahan persevered, and used her experiences to improve her knowledge and understanding of what patient's need in her blend of holistic and Western medicine approaches.  She very much takes a preventive and root-cause approach to her patient's care, as opposed to just identifying and treating symptoms.  She recognizes the role of inflammation in our rising rates of chronic disease and mental illness and works to reduce inflammation in a flexible way with her patients, offering a multitude of potential treatment options.  She utilizes functional labs to target direct/root causes of illness and, like me, is a big proponent of utilizing nutritional and low doses of lithium to improve mental and physical health outcomes.  I hope you enjoy.  Come back next week for Part 2!

Thanks for joining us for the first installment of my interview with Chris Aiken, MD, most notable for his position as editor-in-chief of the Carlat Psychiatry Podcast, an invaluable independent podcast providing the most up-to-date and unbiased information on which medications ACTUALLY work for which conditions. In Part 1, Dr. Aiken gives us a crash course in HOW to evaluate data and here in Part 2, he'll diver deeper into the DATA revealing why lithium is the ABSOLUTE GOLD STANDARD in bipolar treatment, and has great safety and efficacy data in MAJOR DEPRESSION, DEMENTIA (some would argue even at nutritional doses), is the ONLY Antidepressant with PROVEN ANTI-SUICIDE DATA, as well as being helpful with the characteristics of agitation, impulsivity, and rage.  We also discuss some of the newer data revealing benefits of quetiapine, or Seroquel (though it does have significant metabolic side effects), as well as the natural product, Silexin, or Lavender Extract, in anxiety and insomnia. Whether you are a trainee, young provider, or patient trying to understand the nuance and gray area of psychiatric drug effectiveness or safety, Dr. Aiken's general approach to appraising data is tremendously wise and helpful.  I hope you enjoy.

Hope you enjoy this 3rd installment of a series on medication risk during pregnancy (and more) with Dr. Adam Urato, aka THE HAPPY WARRIOR.  Dr. Urato is making his grand visual debut with Renegade Psych, though we discussed similar topics in our previous audio-only interview available on spotify and apple.  In part 1, we discussed medication exposures during pregnancy, and more specifically, the data and research behind the risks of SSRIs, aka 'antidepressants,' during pregnancy.  In Part 2, we discussed Dr. Urato's role in getting Makena taken off the market (though it took 20 years to do so), pharmaceutical corruption, and the role of misinformation in propaganda campaigns (right AND left-wing propaganda, folks!) Here in part 3, Dr. Urato gives strong evidence via multiple data sources on how and why SSRIs SHOULD BE CATEGORY D in PREGNANCY, indicating that there is human data revealing teratogenicity and fetal risk.  Dr. Urato and I have no financial disclosures.  We are talking about this because it matters to us and we don't want to see patients being led astray by pharmaceutical data, but rather want them to have open access to the same information he and I are reviewing in formulating our opinions on these oftentimes difficult-to-discuss topics. Dr. Urato's catchphrase is that CHEMICALS HAVE CONSEQUENCES (and medications are chemicals).  Hope you enjoy and follow up for a posting of the entirety of this interview later this week.

Join me as I sit down with Dr. James Greenblatt, MD, to discuss his work within the field of what's called functional, or integrative psychiatry.  Dr. Greenblatt uses many of the tools he learned in medical school paired with an integrative critical thinking approach.  He tests for mineral and vitamin deficiencies, indirect markers of neurotransmitter abnormalities, AND ensures every patient gets a full medical workup to rule out medical causes of depression, anxiety, ADHD, autism, bipolar, schizophrenia, and many more psychiatric diagnoses.  Dr. Greenblatt is anti-DSM due to its' primary focus on subjective symptom reports, which oftentimes substantially overlap between so-called 'distinct' psychiatric disorders, and instead tries to gather as much objective information and data as possible in order to help treat his patients.  We talk about the role of, not just high doses of lithium in bipolar disorder but also, low doses of lithium for irritability, impulsivity, and cognitive rigidity, with underrecognized (and sometimes incredible) results in ADHD and autism, as well as any suicidal patient. While some view Dr. Greenblatt's approach as 'quackery,' I'm here to tell you I've started to test for some of the same things and am finding abnormalities in lab work that guide my treatment, and now I'm starting to see results in my patients.  It's so much more exciting than the machine-gun-full-of-SSRIs traditional approach to practicing psychiatry, where 75% of the algorithms dictate that I prescribe an SSRI for everything from depression to anxiety to autism to post partum symptoms to eating disorders and OCD, etc. etc.  Practicing 'idiot' medicine is not why I went into medicine and Dr. Greenblatt offers a unique and holistic approach that combines techniques of traditional psychiatry with this new wave of a more functional approach.

Join pediatrician Dr. Nikki Johnson, MD, for part 2 of our conversation as WE TALK ABOUT VACCINES in a nuanced fashion.  Neither of us are for or against ALL vaccines (and both of us have fully vaccinated kids... well, not including COVID or flu...), but rather take them in piecemeal and openly discuss the need for more research on their long-term safety and efficacy.  We also delve into our appreciation of RFK Jr.'s attempts to clean up our food (and the skepticism that removing things like pesticides will be all good without any downside), then air our grievances with his lack of clarity around important societal conversations like which vaccinations he universally recommends (and the dangers of re-emergence of things like measles outbreaks due to poor vaccine uptake).  Nikki brings up Tracy Beth Hoeg, a Danish-American scientist and physician who has done deep dives into the differences between Denmark's vaccinations schedule and ours in the United States.  Additionally, Dr. Johnson compares what big pharma is doing with the new class of drugs to treat Alzheimer's to the Tuskegee syphilis experiment, in the sense that people are unknowingly being experimented on with a class of drugs that does not have anything close to a favorable benefit : risk ratio.  We also delve into our appreciation of RFK Jr., as well as our beef with his lack of clarity around important societal conversations like which vaccinations.  Maybe most importantly, we repeatedly exclaim that THE SCIENCE IS PROPAGANDA... aka anyone who tells you that something is certain in the scientific community is not behaving much like a scientist and may have an ulterior financial motive behind their confident assertions.  Hope you enjoy our conversation and promote us to your friends, family, colleagues, etc. If you're passionate about what we do here at Renegade Psych, we're now on Patreon!
