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.

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? 🧠🔥

"The greatest challenge is understanding your relationship with carbohydrates."

Dr. Robert Cywes is a bariatric surgeon and expert in obesity and metabolic health. He makes the case that most conventional approaches to obesity and type 2 diabetes focus on the wrong thing — targeting food quantity instead of the behavioral patterns driving it. For many patients, the issue isn't discipline. It's a dysregulated relationship with food that no amount of calorie-counting will fix.

That reframe is at the heart of what Dr. Cywes brings to the 2026 San Diego Symposium for Metabolic Health this August — a full-day focus on the metabolic roots of obesity and type 2 diabetes, where leading clinicians will push past the standard-of-care conversation and into what's actually moving the needle.

Clean doesn’t have a smell.

If something smells like Passion Fruit Breeze or Strawberry rain it’s just chemical slop.

If a something is truly clean it will smell like nothing.

Yet another case of drug free T2 Diabetes remission🥳 He just stopped eating the foods that put up his blood sugar (yes carbs) Dramatic weight loss, no hunger as low carb stimulates NATURAL GLP-1 production Well done that guy!! @StevenBartlett @drchatterjeeuk

I didn't set out to question what I was taught in medical school.

I started questioning it when I saw it wasn't helping my patients.

[Dr David Unwin @lowcarbGP]

This is the third study showing a ketogenic or low carb diet may help with eating disorders. Previously some worried that restricting a food group (carbs) would make eating disorders worse I have not found this in clinical practice @BDA_Dietitians @BrownAdey

Is it any wonder property values near solar complexes go down?

This is the signage you’re staring at out your back window. It obliterates any semblance of a viewshed, pastoral history, and the American agricultural way of life.

The same thing would happen if a Walmart or any other industrial complex was suddenly allowed to be built next to your house.

Except a Walmart can’t do that. It has to follow zoning. Everyone around you has to follow the town zoning, or they’ll be fined.

Unless you own a foreign solar corporation. Then you can break from our American zoning.

That’s what makes this more than a “personal decision” to alter your land. It causes a “take” in property values for everyone in the greater area. And it’s causing in-fighting among families and siblings that have been the backbone of our rural villages for generations.

It’s a massive money-laundering operation between New York State and foreign corporations intent on grabbing subsidies, credits, and locking American farmland into 40+ year leases.

Not total cholesterol. Not fasting glucose.

Fasting insulin.

Because insulin rises years, sometimes decades, before A1c does.

By the time you're "pre-diabetic," your insulin has been elevated for 10-15 years.

Optimal fasting insulin: below 5 uIU/mL.

Most labs state anything under 25 or 18.7 as "normal."

That's not normal. That's a slow metabolic disaster in progress.

Ask your doctor for a fasting insulin test at your next visit. If they don't know why you'd want one, find a different doctor.

This number changes everything about how you understand your metabolic health.

A scientist was hired by a chemical company to study its weedkiller. He found it was castrating and feminizing frogs. So the company stopped studying the chemical and started studying him. This is the documented story of atrazine. 🧵

[Antidepressant Coalition for Education @ACE_CoalitionEd]

There are hundreds of thousands of members in withdrawal-related support groups and that figure does not include the countless individuals who never formally joined these communities or those who suffered in isolation, never finding them at all.

It is a profound failure that drug manufacturers and regulators did not adequately warn patients, people who simply trusted their doctors, about the possibility of severe, life-altering withdrawal and the need for careful, often years-long tapering. For many long-term users, tapering is not a passive process. It requires measuring tiny amounts of medication (crumbs, beads, or drops) with extraordinary precision to avoid debilitating symptoms.

In the absence of meaningful medical guidance, patients have become the experts, creating makeshift laboratories in their kitchens and developing tapering methods through necessity and lived experience. Attempts to dismiss these experiences as mere anecdote, or to discredit patients’ accounts of their own bodies and minds because they have a mental health diagnosis, are fundamentally anti-patient.

The next food crisis won't start at the grocery store.

70% of farmers can't afford all fertilizer this year (AFBF survey). Nitrogen costs spiked 28% in 3 weeks after Hormuz disruptions. Wheat acreage is the lowest since 1919.

The shelves are the last place a food crisis shows up.

City Prepping on YouTube breaks down the chain: fertilizer → diesel → wheat → flour → feed → beef → your table.

We don't use synthetic fertilizer. Zero dependency. That's by design.

This is exciting and fascinating on many levels — therapeutically and scientifically.

These women with weight-normalized anorexia nervosa showed "less dietary restraint" without weight change on the ketogenic diet. So they ate more but weight didn't change?

Is it possible that anorexia is a fat-storage disorder, not an eating disorder (just as I and others have argued about obesity)?

If so, this observation is unsurprising.

[Nick Norwitz MD PhD @nicknorwitz]

“A ketogenic diet for anorexia”

You heard that right. A new study published TODAY suggests cutting carbs might help in anorexia.

The reason that pairing sounds so paradoxical is that we’re still largely trapped in a framework that views eating disorders as purely psychological phenomena, and assumes restrictive eating should never be treated with a restrictive diet.

On the surface, that logic seems reasonable.

But one of the most important shifts occurring in psychiatry is the growing recognition that the brain, like every other organ, is fundamentally metabolic.

When metabolism goes awry in the brain, the consequences can manifest as psychiatric illness—including eating disorders.

From that perspective, it becomes far less surprising that a metabolic therapy such as a ketogenic diet could help treat anorexia nervosa, one of the deadliest psychiatric disorders in existence.

Quoting from the author of the research @GuidoFrank “The level of recovery [on a keto diet] was far better than what we see in other anorexia treatments.”

Huge kudos to @janellison @BaszuckiGroup for supporting this life-saving work.

[Psychiatry_Survivor @Psychiatry_Anti]

They condition you to view your natural survival mechanisms as chemical imbalances that require correction.

Fear after trauma. Grief after loss. Hypervigilance after danger. Emotional numbness after overwhelming stress. These are often normal human responses to difficult circumstances, not necessarily signs that something is "wrong" with your brain.

But, when every human struggle is framed as a disorder and every emotion as a symptom, we can lose sight of the wisdom of the nervous system. Sometimes the question isn't, "What's wrong with me?" but rather, "What happened to me?"

Our God-given emotions are NOT mental disorders.

Low cholesterol destabilizes mitochondrial membranes.

They lose their electrical potential, swell, and die.

That's how statins contribute to aging, heart disease, and cancer.

[Jan Ellison Baszucki @janellison]

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.

It's INSANE to me that teens who are addicted to screens, nutrient deficient, avoiding sun and exercise and nature, getting poor quality sleep, ingesting toxic seed oils are then put on a health impairing, mind altering pharmaceutical drugs that at least doubles risk of suicide.
