Years ago, I learned of a published case study describing how a ketogenic diet helped @Carobeckwith recover from a 15-year battle with anorexia. Today's newly published research is a direct result of Caroline and her family's valiant journey, and their determination to help others explore the metabolic intervention that put Caroline's anorexia into remission.

At @BaszuckiGroup we've been honored to support @GuidoFrank and his team who designed, launched, recruited for, completed and published this pilot trial of ketogenic therapy in weight-normalized anorexia nervosa.

This paper is the culmination of many years of hard work--including from those who participated in the trial. A second study is already underway.

One family's journey sparked one clinician-scientist to want to learn more. Together, Dr. Frank and the Scolnick family have challenged the field to explore the metabolic roots and treatment possibilities of a disorder in which current treatments fail far too many.

Please share widely. A second nation-wide trial is enrolling now.

New study offers hope for anorexia nervosa.

The first-ever pilot trial of ketogenic therapy for anorexia nervosa was just published.

Here's what @GuidoFrank and his research team at @UCSDMedSchool found. 🧵

@Jeffofalltrayds @ProjectGokuu @MikhailaFuller It's the ultimate elimination diet.

@maria_atra @matthewbaszucki Check out the research page on Metabolic Mind. Psychiatrists are prescribing ketogenic and metabolic therapy for serious mental illness.

I was homeless in Los Angeles at 21 years old. I had been hospitalized 4 times. I thought I was the messiah.

Three years later, my manic episodes stopped completely. No new medication. No new doctor. Here's what actually happened. 🧵

A new study called NATURE-CT gives us something genuinely valuable: a look at how coronary plaque progresses naturally in relatively “low-risk” adults on no lipid-lowering therapy.

But the way some people are using it online concerns me. Let's talk about what the data actually shows and how it relates, or does not, to ketogenic therapy. 🧵

After losing his brother to suicide while he was actively receiving care, Kristian Ranta began asking a difficult question:

What if mental healthcare is missing something fundamental?

👉 In this interview, he explains how Meru Health is trying to change that.

@ABC I suspect the same is true for being in a state of nutritional ketosis. But who will fund those studies?

Keto for anorexia? Sounds controversial, but the pilot data suggests it may help.

UCSD psychiatrist @GuidoFrank reports results better than anything he’s seen in 25 years: ~72% improvement in symptoms and mood.

Is brain metabolism the missing piece in eating disorders? 🧠🔥

New data from one of our @BaszuckiGroup funded studies that just published yesterday.

It may seem counterintuitive that ketogenic therapy could be beneficial for those living with anorexia nervosa. Especially considering that dietary fat is often a nutrient those living with anorexia are concerned with. But this new pilot study reported that 82% of study participants were able to adhere to keto, and all study completers experienced meaningful benefit in some way.

We are reporting on a keto for AN study that improved depression and eating disorder symptoms, with no weight loss, in weight normalized patients. And we are reporting on a new study in underweight individuals with AN enrolling now. The patients did not gain weight nor was that the intent.

I received this email in my in-box yesterday from Judy Scolnick, whose daughter's N of 1 case launched a scientific inquiry into the promise of ketogenic diets for anorexia nervosa, with a first paper published yesterday.

This message had me in tears. The evidence of one person's recovery has the potential to move a field from ridicule to revolution. We have a long way to go, but we're on the right road now.
