About this listen

In today’s episode, Dr. Datis Kharrazian takes a dive into the intricate relationship between blood sugar stability—what he calls dysglycemia—and mood disorders. You'll learn how rollercoaster blood sugar levels can disrupt neurochemistry, impact hormone balance, and even alter your brain’s stress response. Plus, Dr. Kharrazian explores why stabilizing blood sugar is critical before addressing neurotransmitter imbalances, and he explains real-world clinical signs.
