This article explores how the balance between GABA and glutamate, nutrition, metabolism, and inflammation directly influences mental health. Discover why anxiety and depression are not only emotional, but also metabolic, and how food, key nutrients, and ketogenic approaches can help restore brain stability from the ground up.

This article reviews the ongoing debate in cardiovascular prevention—medications versus lifestyle—through the lens of the FOURIER trial and a subsequent BMJ Open reanalysis that questioned how mortality data were classified and reported. Using this controversy as a teachable moment, it highlights the importance of evaluating therapies by their impact on “hard outcomes” (heart attack, stroke, hospitalization, and mortality), not biomarkers alone, and of understanding absolute risk reduction and data transparency.

Katallage Wellness Center is pleased to announce a new weekly movement and brain-health class, hosted every Saturday 90 minutes by clinician Adolfo Valhuerdi.

Key insights from an AHA Scientific Statement in Circulation on circadian health and cardiometabolic risk.

Why this matters for patients? It strengthens the concept that Alzheimer’s risk and progression are deeply connected to brain energy metabolism—not only the amyloid and tau as isolated “protein problems,” that we have been treating for so long, but the metabolic environment that pushes those proteins toward toxicity.
