Ketogenic diets aren't defined by how much meat or fat you eat—they're not even about how little carbohydrate you eat (in fact many who follow a "LCHF" plan are not in ketosis). A #ketogenicdiet is a diet that allows you to burn fat for energy. And who doesn't want to do that?

The ketogenic diet is powerful brain medicine. Consider these observations from a study I co-authored, conducted by my friend Dr. Albert Danan, a psychiatrist practicing in Toulouse, France. 31 adults with "treatment-resistant" schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or major depression volunteered to try a mildly #ketogenic whole-foods diet in the hospital, under close medical and psychiatric supervision. ✨ All 28 patients who stayed on the diet for more than two weeks experienced substantial improvements in mental and physical health ✨ 43% achieved complete clinical remission from their psychiatric condition ✨ 64% left the hospital on less psychiatric medication ✨ Their general metabolic health also improved dramatically You do not see outcomes like this in conventional inpatient psychiatric care.

Every time your blood sugar spikes, your brain sugar spikes too. 🧠 This leads to waves of inflammation and oxidative stress, which can be harmful to your brain. We're often told to eat more antioxidants to combat oxidative stress. But how often are we told to stop eating the foods that cause oxidative stress in the first place? High glucose levels, even briefly after a meal, can trigger damaging reactions in the brain. Unfortunately, many people, especially children, consume refined carbs with every meal and snack. This can mean up to SIX glucose and insulin spikes per day, setting the brain on a path of instability and damage. 👎 Let's break the cycle! Join me and the Children's Mental Health Resource Center for a special virtual book club event TONIGHT, July 18, at 8 pm ET / 5 pm PT to discuss how to lay a strong nutritional foundation for your child's mental health.

While the Mediterranean diet is certainly healthier for the brain than the so-called "Standard American Diet," it has some serious shortcomings. For example: Job #1 of a brain-healthy diet is to nourish the #brain properly by providing it with all essential nutrients. The foundation of the Mediterranean diet is starchy grains and legumes 🥖🥜, which are low in nutrients and high in anti-nutrients that can block the absorption of key minerals like magnesium, calcium, and zinc. If better brain health is your goal, you'll want to prioritize foods that nourish, protect, and energize your brain. 🍽️ Curious to learn which dietary changes are most worth making and why? That's what my book Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind is all about.

WHO says meat causes cancer?!🍖 Once upon a time, I wrote a festive poem inspired by How the Grinch Stole Christmas. But in this version, the villain isn’t the Grinch —it’s the WHO (yes, that WHO) and their infamous anti-meat proclamation. 📜 Through rhyme and reason (and a sprinkle of humor), I share the real story behind the WHO’s claims about #redmeat and health. Hit play and let’s roast some myths!

🧠 Hungry for the truth about brain food? Our US dietary guidelines, which are supposed to improve public health, actually place public health at risk because they ignore the biology of food and the biology of the brain 🤯 Our dietary MISguidelines say: 🔸 Base your diet on nutrient-poor carbohydrates like grains and legumes, even though our bodies can make all the carbohydrate we need 🔸 Make sure half of your grains are ultra-processed flours and cereals—refined carbohydrates that destabilize brain chemistry—because these can be fortified with essential nutrients 🔸 Fear red meat, one of nature's best whole food sources of essential nutrients These brain food rules make no biological sense and must be changed if we are serious about public health. It was heartening to rally with trailblazers like Nina Teicholz, PhD, Jess Apple, Martin Picard, Tony Hampton, MD, MBA, CPE, ABOM, MS-HNFM, mariela, Dr. Mark Cucuzzella, and many others at Metabolic Revolution to take a stand against the MISguidelines that compromise your good mental and physical health!

Unlock the secret weapon of the ketogenic diet 🔓👇 If you have insulin resistance (which most of us do!) your brain has trouble burning glucose for energy, so it's not firing on all cylinders. The secret weapon of a well-formulated ketogenic diet is that it lowers insulin levels, which switches fat-burning on and produces ketones to bridge that energy gap. Many of my patients experience welcome improvements in mental clarity, mood, mental stamina, memory, and productivity within days of starting a properly formulated #ketogenic diet. Learn more in Chapter 9 of my book, Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind.

For decades, Americans have been given taxpayer-funded dietary guidelines that work against optimal brain health. Shouldn't everyone, from children in schools to seniors in care facilities, have the freedom to choose a brain-healthy diet? YES! ➡️ Back the work of Nutrition Coalition. Tell your representatives that we need our dietary guidelines to be based on biology, not ideology!

Medications and psychotherapy can be useful, but they do not bring enough relief to enough people. We are in desperate need of new approaches. Thankfully, the field of psychiatry is taking a quantum leap forward: the exciting new subspecialties of nutritional and metabolic psychiatry offer brand new ways to think about and treat mental health conditions of all kinds. From brain development and neurotransmitter balance to stress hormones, inflammation, and brain aging—what we eat matters. Let's rethink our approach and explore the transformative potential of nutritional interventions aimed at improving brain metabolism and total brain health. Want to hear the full conversation?
