Nutrition in MH usually splits into hype or dismissed. A consensus paper finally opens a middle ground.

GeneOps5 months ago

This is a landmark paper. One angle worth exploring in future work — ketone metabolism intersects with Phase II detox capacity. About 50% of people are GSTM1 null, meaning they lack that entire glutathione conjugation enzyme, which could affect oxidative stress response during the metabolic transition and potentially influence individual symptom trajectories on therapeutic keto.

لقد علمنا الله في القرآن الكريم أن أكثر عباده خوفاً منه هم العلماء الحمد لله الذي وفقكم لإنقاذ المرضى حول العالم من تلك السموم التي أفقدتهم معنى الحياة. Allah has taught us in the Holy Qur’an that those who fear Him most among His servants are the scholars. Praise be to Allah, who has guided you to save patients around the world from those toxins that stripped their lives of meaning.

Dr. Ede, I used AI to decode a 30-year 'metabolic shutdown.' No #0 (vocab), so #1 becomes #2 (noise), looping in #3. This #0123 logic is the key to arming survivors. I am the witness.

Could it be that only 5-7% of individuals with mental health conditions in the U.S. receive highly effective treatment? Let that sink in. Our medical system is failing to deliver effective evidence-based, solutions to millions of people that are relying on it for care. Harvard psychiatrist Chris Palmer, MD, author of Brain Energy, believes we can do better. Dr. Palmer has been at the forefront of metabolic psychiatry, an innovative approach targeting the root causes of mental illness, like metabolic dysfunction and brain energy deficits. Emerging strategies like ketogenic therapy are showing promise, offering new possibilities for recovery and transforming mental health care as we know it. There is an urgent need for a paradigm shift in psychiatry and in this interview, Dr. Palmer highlights how metabolic therapies are opening new doors for recovery. We can do better. And we must.

Ketogenic diets in the ICU? The research is beginning to explore it. In a randomized controlled trial of 40 patients with sepsis, investigators tested a medically supervised ketogenic diet during critical illness. All patients in the ketogenic group achieved stable nutritional ketosis, with no serious adverse events attributed to the intervention. After day four, none of the ketogenic patients required insulin — compared to 35–60% of patients in the control group on any given day. The ketogenic group also experienced: • More ventilator-free days • More vasopressor-free days • More dialysis-free days • More ICU-free days Researchers observed signals consistent with reduced immune dysregulation and lower inflammatory signaling — a meaningful finding in a condition defined by metabolic chaos and systemic inflammation. This was a small, early-phase trial. It does not establish standard of care. But it adds to a growing body of evidence that metabolic therapy may have applications beyond chronic disease — including critical care.

Considering ketogenic therapy for bipolar disorder or other serious mental illnesses? This powerful story from Shannon Harwood shows how ketogenic therapy helped her achieve full remission from bipolar 2 disorder after 35 years of recurring episodes, failed medications, and misdiagnoses. In this video, Shannon shares her personal journey: from undiagnosed symptoms in her teens, to years of misdiagnosis and ineffective treatments, to discovering ketogenic therapy at age 48. Within just five days of starting, she experienced a dramatic shift in her mental clarity, energy, and overall functioning. You'll hear: - How bipolar 2 disorder often goes undiagnosed or misdiagnosed as major depression - The impact of living with unrelenting depressive episodes for decades - How medications helped—but also introduced serious side effects - Why she turned to ketogenic therapy and how it changed everything - What it means to find root cause healing instead of just symptom management Shannon is now off all psychiatric medications and has remained symptom-free for years. Her story is one of hope, resilience, and the possibility of full recovery. If you or someone you love is navigating severe mental illness and looking for new options, this is a must-watch. #MetabolicHealth #KetogenicTherapy #BipolarDisorder #MentalHealthRecovery #MetabolicMind #Bipolar2 #HealingIsPossible #NutritionAndMentalHealth #RootCauseHealing Resources Mentioned: - Get better acquainted with Shannon’s mental health strategies at her THINK+SMART profile: - Learn more about the THINK+SMART framework: a self-guided, community-based framework that helps you develop a customized metabolic approach to mental health: Follow our channel for more information and education from Bret Scher, MD, FACC, including interviews with leading experts in Metabolic Psychiatry.

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.

A seismic shift is underway in psychiatry, moving beyond talk therapy and pharmaceuticals to target the very foundation of mental health: metabolic function. Leading this revolution are pioneers like Dr. Christopher Palmer of Harvard Psychiatry. For over two decades, he has focused on the most challenging cases—patients resistant to psychotropic medications. His groundbreaking protocol is strikingly simple, yet profoundly effective: a ketogenic diet. By placing patients into ketosis through a diet of meat and low-starch vegetables, Dr. Palmer has documented the reversal of conditions once deemed lifelong, including: • Major Depression • Anxiety Disorders • Bipolar Disorder • And in rare cases, even Schizophrenia The mechanism? While the official explanation points to improved mitochondrial health, a compelling alternative theory suggests that removing carbohydrates strengthens the immune system. This allows the body to finally subdue chronic, undiagnosed infections that may be driving neurological dysfunction. By halting the constant processing of sugars, the body can redirect its resources toward regeneration and fighting these underlying inflammatory and infectious threats. This isn't just a dietary trend; it's a paradigm shift. It reframes "mental illness" as a potential symptom of metabolic and immune system dysregulation. The work of Dr. Palmer, alongside researchers like Georgia Ede and Stanford's Annelise Barron, is offering not just management, but the possibility of genuine recovery. The future of mental health treatment may not be in a pill bottle, but on our plates.

Ketogenic Diets Change Microbiome to Help Multiple Sclerosis (90 sec Breakdown of New Data) Background: Ketogenic diets have been shown in human clinical trials to improve multiple sclerosis. But HOW? 📝 A new mechanistic paper reveals ketogenic diets cause intestinal cells to make ketones, which shifts the microbiome to lead to production of another metabolite - indole lactate - that inhibits inflammatory cells ❌🔥 🤓 Nerd Note 1: “intestinal” production of ketones was important such that when the ability to make ketones locally in the intestines was knocked out (but liver ketogenesis remained intact such that circulating ketone levels were not impacted) the neuroprotective effects of the ketogenic diet were diminished 🤓 Nerd Note 2: Exogenous ketones also worked in this animal model, suggesting it is the ketones that are having the effect (here changing the microbiome to confer neuroprotective properties) Of course, more research is needed but this is exciting and promising. I will have a long form breakdown on YouTube in the coming weeks and more details. Cc Chris Palmer, MD Metabolic Mind Dominic D'Agostino Jan Ellison Baszucki Bryan Johnson
