    Our paper is now published in @NatMentHealth. What began as curiosity in med school became a field I later named: metabolic psychiatry. 15+ years later, it's defining a new category of care. @LabsMetabolism is translating this into patient care.

    I’m proud to share the results of my pilot trial investigating the therapeutic effects of a #ketogenicdiet on bipolar and schizophrenia, published in @PsychiatryResJ. 📈 We found promising improvements in BOTH metabolic and psychiatric outcomes: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

    Keto is not a fad diet, it's a medical intervention. Thank you @WStoneReports for covering the emerging landscape of metabolic psychiatry & to my patient, Lori, for bravely telling her story. Read more in @NPR: tinyurl.com/jhpa2t53

    Last month, I had the pleasure of joining @GeorgiaEdeMD & @IainCampbellPhD at #ISBD2023 for a symposium on ketogenic diet for bipolar disorder. We started the session reviewing the timeline of #keto for therapeutic use & our contributions. A long history & an exciting future!

    A metabolic approach to mental health offers hope to the 18.5 million people with bipolar disorder and metabolic syndrome! I shared my work on the potential of a #ketogenic diet as a treatment for serious mental illness at @Keto_live Thanks for a great conference #ketolive2024

    In my interview with Bloomberg Businessweek, I stated, “Changing the food supply would be a win.” There’s hope for public health in nutrition, and @robertKennedyJr advocates for meaningful dialogue on healthier food systems. #MAHA #MetabolicPsychiatry

    People with serious mental health illnesses face a reduction in life expectancy, often dying 10-20 years earlier than the general population. Thank you @StanfordHIL for inviting me to speak on how Metabolic Psychiatry opens new avenues of treatment for serious mental illnesses.

    This study shows the potential advantages of adjunctive ketogenic dietary treatment in people with serious mental illness. It also underscores the need for larger clinical trials (hopefully more on this soon!)

    Tagging - @DoctorTro @drericwestman here as well. Thank you for working with us. #LCHF or #keto can be helpful for some with binge eating, food addiction, and excess weight.
