@janellison@healthonelabs I also think we are so conditioned to think that mental health issues are completely separated from food that even when presented with this idea, many reject it simply bc it does not fit the model they are used to.
@JohnJoh02253923@DrEenfeldt I think this is the view I most closely subscribe to; imo communication on certain diets being potentially very helpful seems to be under-emphasized (in mental health esp), but there are also those who go over the top with OMAD/low carb when unnecessary too.
@cremieuxrecueil It comes down to cost benefit. KD is great, perhaps life saving even, for some individuals who have suffered life long conditions, but in an otherwise healthy stable individual, perhaps unnecessary. There’s no one silver bullet.
@bigfatsurprise "Out of 73 formulas available in the U.S. in 2022....the researchers found only five contained mainly naturally occurring lactose—and those are no longer available in this country." Wow.
@JourneyofHope4U@joaniej0243 Someone with mental illness may find it difficult to implement lifestyle changes immediately, but with metabolic therapy, they may (hopefully, at end of such inpatient care) at least get to a point where they can start taking those steps forward on their own, or more.
@JourneyofHope4U@joaniej0243 Psychiatric units can be responsible for an inpatient’s meals however— I wonder how care may change or potentially, and hopefully, be improved if nutrition were emphasized in this context.
