ONE Root Cause of Autism, Bipolar Disorder, Depression & More w/ Dr. Stephanie Rimka (EP-39)

In this episode of Sweet Liberation Podcast, we are interviewing Dr. Stephanie Rimka. Dr. Stephanie Rimka is a holistic brain optimization specialist focusing on integrated neurotherapies to identify and address the root cause of mental illness, learning disorders, and chronic illness. She has dedicated over 25 years to learning the best practices in functional medicine from masters in their fields. She teaches people how to create abundant health so they are empowered to expand physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.

Joining us today, Dr. Stephanie shares how her fascination with human health began in childhood and why she chose not to pursue a conventional medical career. She discusses her moment of realization that mental health issues, including schizophrenia and autism, had significant links to brain inflammation and metabolic dysfunction, and what she found to be central to many mental health and neurological conditions.

She discusses the root causes of conditions like schizophrenia, autism, bipolar disorder, depression, and anxiety. She also shares her views on terms like “neurodivergent” and the importance of viewing mental health as brain health, which she believes is often overlooked in traditional medical approaches.

Dr. Stephanie also touches on how stress in the mother can directly affect the child, particularly in cases of autism, where Dr. Rimka often begins treatment by addressing the mother's well-being first. She discusses the role of Oxytocin and what its lack might cause.

Join us today as we dive into societal norms, sugar’s connection to mental health issues, practical tips for parents, the GAPS diet, the most important nutrients, and much more.
