Dr. Andrew Hughes earned his medical degree at the University of North Dakota School of Medicine and Life Sciences. He is currently completing his final year of residency in psychiatry at Oregon Health & Science University.
He is a regular contributor to Dr. Journal Club, an online site which provides education to medical providers interested in complementary and alternative medicine. His interests in the field are centered around the interplay of biology and psychology, and he believes in the importance of lifestyle interventions as first line treatment, whenever possible. This focus has directed most of his research efforts toward the relationship between nutrition and mental health.
