  • Episode 1: Hello World. Welcome to the inaugural episode of The Gluten-Free Psychiatry Podcast. I’m your host Daniel Williams, MD psychiatrist type that prescribes medications for mental health. I’m blogging from MindshiftCare.com, where modern psychiatry meets toxin-free living. Imagine how much better you would feel after detoxing from neurotoxins such as PFAS, BPA, Parabens, Glyphosate, Fluoride, Botulinum Toxin, and Heavy Metals (aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury). That's the ideal and expanding on the ideal circumstances for optimum cognitive health is what the Gluten-Free Psychiatry Podcast is all about. The slogan at Mindshift Care is ”Advancing Detox Science for Cognitive Health”, so we’ll take a look at how these neurotoxins affect mental health without the outside influence of pharmaceutical companies or greedy employers. Medications Containing Gluten Did you know that at least half of all medications contain gluten? Have you read the book Wheat Belly? Gluten-free psychiatry involves using a specialty, compounding pharmacy that makes pure versions of medications in a vegan capsule. Generic trazodone for sleep can cost $400 (50 mg nightly x 30 day supply), but at least you could take it if you had Ulcerative Colitis or Celiac Sprue! In 2012, pharmaceutical companies were force by the U.S. Congress to reveal which medications and manufacturers are making pills with gluten. The 2013 follow up study is cited below with the top 200 most-prescribed medications.1 The results were surprising to me – practically all of the psychiatric medications I prescribe were on that list and half of the manufacturers of generic contained gluten and half did not. As a physician, it’s impossible for me to know which manufacturer a pharmacy is using so we’re all flying blind. In my practice… Most people can’t afford, or won’t make a priority, medications that cost hundreds of dollars per month so I don’t prescribe this often – but it does exist! Patients with Alpha-GAL tick-biting, meat allergy disease have to do Gluten-Free Psychiatry, especially if anxiety causes anaphylaxis (which I have seen). I would recommend it in all auto-immune diseases as an ideal. More research is needed. If you have an auto-immune disorder and are interested in detoxing, consider doing before and after blood work to help add to the research pool on this very important topic.

You can book an appointment with me personally for Detox Life Coaching, Dementia Screening, or Medication Management (Texas, Colorado, and Missouri for medications), imagine how much better you would feel after detoxing from neurotoxins such as PFAS, BPA, Parabens, Glyphosate, Fluoride, Botulinum Toxin, and Heavy Metals (aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury). I was the first ever to demonstrate PFAS comes out of the body during ionic foot baths. REFERENCES 1 King AR; University of Kansas Drug Information Center Experiential Rotation Students, August 2012.
