Built on Science
NeuroVitals leverages breakthrough science at the intersection of metabolic and mental health to support individuals with serious mental disorders. Led by Dr. Nick Norwitz, MD, PhD, a pioneer in metabolic psychiatry, we translate cutting-edge research into practical solutions that improve outcomes, reduce relapse, and promote lasting recovery. Through data-driven insights and public education, NeuroVitals is redefining how the world understands and treats mental illness.

Metabolic Mind - By Dr. Bret Scher, joined by leading Harvard-trained metabolic psychiatrists Georgia Ede, MD, and Chris Palmer, MD.
The strong association between metabolic and mental health. New research is taking us beyond correlation to causation — improving metabolic health improves mental health.
