Covers the broader context of psychiatric medication — how drugs are approved, why responses vary between individuals, and what the research actually shows about long-term use. Relevant for anyone researching CYP2D6, CYP2C19, and psychiatric medication response genetics.
A companion volume to the documentary of the same name — clinicians, researchers, and patients discuss the pharmacology of psychiatric medications (SSRIs, benzodiazepines, stimulants), how variability in CYP metabolism explains uneven clinical response, and the discontinuation-syndrome literature.
Released alongside a documentary screened at PBS-affiliated stations and university-of-medicine ethics courses — a key resource in patient-centered psychopharmacology conversations.
These peer-reviewed studies connect to the core ideas in this book. Each result has been scored for reliability.
Covers the research on how specific nutrients — omega-3s, B vitamins, fat-soluble vitamins — affect brain and metabolic function. Directly relevant to FADS1 and BCMO1 variant research on nutrient conversion efficiency.
Two researchers present the evidence for micronutrient support — including methylated B vitamins — in mental health. Directly relevant to MTHFR compound het and the connection between folate processing and neurotransmitter synthesis.
Sports psychology meets physiology. Covers the mental architecture of athletic performance — how to train the brain alongside the body. Particularly relevant for COMT ValVal athletes who perform differently under competition pressure versus low-stakes training.
