Metabolic Psychiatry Slide Deck
Awareness of metabolic psychiatry is still limited, yet it represents a promising, emerging approach to mental health. This slide deck is designed to help peers, family members, advocates, and clinicians share information about metabolic psychiatry in their communities—through presentations at libraries, faith groups, NAMI chapters, or other local organizations.
The video tutorial below provides a step-by-step demonstration on how to use the slides, speaker notes, and embedded videos to explain the connections between metabolism, brain energy, mental health, and the implementation of metabolic strategies. We recognize that peers and family members may not always feel comfortable explaining the science or practical details themselves. To support you, we’ve included a few brief, trusted video resources from Metabolic Mind that clearly break down the science. You’re also welcome to shorten your explanation or remove the science-focused slides altogether and rely on the videos as explainers, so you can focus more on lived experience if that feels right for you. Thanks to you, many in the audience will likely be hearing the term metabolic psychiatry for the very first time!
By sharing personal stories alongside trusted resources, anyone can help raise awareness and guide others toward potentially life-changing information. You don’t need to be an expert or know every detail of the science—simply spreading the word and pointing people to the many excellent resources available can make a meaningful difference.
