Board-Certified Psychiatrist. Your brain is the original performance engine—I help to fine-tune it. Follow for evidence-based insights—posts ≠ medical advice.
The best advice I ever ignored: “You can’t do it all.”
I chose to define “all” differently—focused intensity, not scattered effort.
Fewer things, done better. More meaning, less burnout.

I wish more people knew that high achievement in sports doesn’t protect against mental illness — it can sometimes hide it.
The grind can be both a mask and a trap.

New brain scan study finds cannabis use linked to higher dopamine in the same brain region tied to psychosis. The more severe the use, the stronger the signal. What does this mean for mental health?

Glutathione (GSH) is essential for detoxification, immune function, and fighting oxidative stress. Levels decline with age but can be boosted with NAC, sulforaphane (broccoli), vitamin C, whey protein, and regular exercise. Small molecule but might effect!🥦 🍊

Can early-life parenting impact childhood obesity in the long term? A trial found responsive parenting interventions lowered BMI from ages 3–9, but the effects faded over time. Further research is needed, given that early dietary patterns shape lifelong health. (JAMA Pediatr, 2025).

Coffee isn’t just a caffeine fix it enhances the Nrf2 pathway, boosting antioxidant defense and DNA repair reducing disease risk! Like fruits & veggies, its phenolic phytochemicals drive the benefits. Enjoy!☕️
