THINK+SMART is all about personalized health and community sharing. Whether you’re just beginning your metabolic and mental health journey or you have been using THINK+SMART strategies for some time, we invite you to engage with our community. Start by building your program or share your progress to inspire others.

We recognize that the volume of information in THINK+SMART may feel overwhelming during times of acute psychiatric crisis. We conceived THINK+SMART as a tool to be used primarily during periods of relative stability and hope you will approach it at a time that feels manageable for you and your care team.

We recognize the challenges of finding specialists trained in the emerging practice of metabolic psychiatry. This webpage provides helpful resources and directory links, and this article offers guidance on navigating care access challenges. Your program will evolve as you learn what works best for you, so be sure to update your worksheet as you incorporate new strategies.

Sign up to receive the THINK+SMART worksheet along with periodic updates in your email inbox. Construct your plan and set a date when you will begin. Now is the time to assemble your care team, order tools, stock your refrigerator, and, ideally, have your labs drawn. Although you can certainly use some elements of THINK+SMART on your own, it’s most helpful to integrate your care team, especially if you are using prescription medications or grappling with complex symptoms.

As you discover what works best for you, your program will naturally evolve. Remember to update your worksheet regularly to reflect new strategies and approaches you incorporate along the way. Over time, these updates will also serve as a valuable record of your progress and the steps that made a difference.
