Key Themes and Ideas:

Treatment Pillars: Dr. Wilson outlines a six-pillar approach to treating CARB Syndrome:

1. Dietary Changes: Eliminate high glycemic carbohydrates (grains), excessive fructose (added sugars), and omega-6 fatty acids (vegetable oils). Focus on healthy fats, moderate protein, carbohydrates from fruits and vegetables, and omega-3 fatty acids.
2. Medications: Use low-dose medications to control symptoms and improve compliance.
3. Supplements: Enhance brain neurotransmitter levels and maintain healthy brain function.
4. Exercise: Exercise both body and mind.
5. Sleep: Get plenty of restful sleep.
6. Relationships: Maintain healthy relationships.The Role of Neurotransmitters: The symptoms of CARB syndrome are attributed to low levels of the neurotransmitters dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin.Anthony Bourdain Case Study: The article uses Anthony Bourdain's suicide as a hypothetical case of CARB Syndrome. His late-night cravings and mood swings are presented as potential indicators of the condition. "I’m fairly sure that he had the mood swings and poor impulse control typical of CARB syndrome and that’s all it takes to push someone to make a stupid decision like killing yourself."Call for Physician Education: Dr. Wilson expresses frustration with the lack of awareness among physicians regarding CARB Syndrome and his suggested treatment methods.
