Kidney function is REALLY important for people with T2 Diabetes! Improving your blood sugar can also improve your kidneys in a way that lasts. This lady went low carb in 2012 and look!! We published on this here https://t.co/IancpzXZ12

Follow the damn money!!!

This dubious recommendation

for diabetics to eat sugar

was paid for by DaVita Corp

which runs kidney centers.

The leading cause of renal failure is..

...........diabetes.

For decades, mental health care has been stuck in the "chemical imbalance" era, relying heavily on medications that often fall short.

But what if the real root of mental health challenges lies in how our brains are powered?

I had the pleasure of joining Dr. @DavidPerlmutter's podcast to discuss the revolutionary field of metabolic psychiatry, which reimagines mental health issues as problems with brain metabolism, and the solutions as (largely) dietary.

➡️ https://t.co/jMquM9qzk8

We cover:
🧠 How diet influences brain metabolism, inflammation, and resilience (26:21, 30:18)

🍔 The link between the Standard American Diet and the #mentalhealth pandemic (20:13)

💊 Why medications like #SSRIs often fall short, and what else you can do (15:22)

🥑 The power of personalized nutrition for brain health (52:55)

Listen for practical advice and insights that could change how you think, feel, and heal.

Many people don't realize this.

And also that they are very unhealthy.

Especially when heated
(most food is fried in them).

They drive oxidation and are found in nearly all salad dressings and junk foods.

The AHA still claims they are 'heart healthy' but the AHA receives sponsorship payments from them.

What do you think?

These weight loss drugs are so harmful 😔

[Nina Teicholz, PhD @bigfatsurprise]

1 in 43 people on weight loss drugs get pancreatitis. That is no small risk.

[Robert Lufkin MD @robertlufkinmd]

Another reason to avoid sugars.

This includes starches such as flour, bread, etc.

Inflammation drives aging and
all major chronic diseases.

Why use a shield?! Just another way to protect corporate profits 😡

Many people (including) physicians are not aware of this.

The implications are significant.

Low carb and keto diets can help reverse fatty liver a condition that now effects 38% of the world’s population Our paper here https://t.co/mW2VX3z6D5 In this case TEN YEARS of normal liver function and counting 👍😊

A teenage boy with epilepsy and autism behaviors switched to a ketogenic diet and saw life-changing results. Seizures stopped, and autism behaviors improved within weeks. Inspired, psychiatrist Dr. Albert Danan offered the diet to 31 patients with chronic, severe, "treatment-resistant" mental illnesses.

The results? Extraordinary.

✅ 100% of patients who stuck to the plan improved.
✅ 43% achieved full remission.
✅ 64% discharged on less psychiatric medication.
✅ Weight loss and metabolic health improvements across the board, despite antipsychotic medications.

These outcomes were so unexpected that Dr. Danan and I collaborated with Duke University obesity medicine researcher @drericwestman and University of Michigan behavioral medicine researcher Dr. Laura Saslow to publish them in June of 2022.

As a co‑author of this paper, naturally I view its findings in a positive light, but having practiced psychiatry for more than 25 years I can tell you that we never see results like this with standard psychiatric treatments.

Clinical remission is rare, most people leave psychiatric hospitals on more medication, and metabolic side effects such as weight gain are common.

In this case, the remission rate was high, and instead of side effects, people were enjoying side benefits: healthy reductions in weight, blood pressure, blood sugar, liver enzymes, and triglycerides.

This wasn’t a randomized controlled trial, so we can’t be certain that the #ketogenic diet itself was responsible for the unprecedented improvements we reported.

However, we believe it contributed considerably to these outcomes, as they would otherwise be difficult to explain.

These patients had previously benefited very little from attentive outpatient care, multiple medications, and psychiatric hospitalization— the only difference between this hospitalization and previous hospitalizations was the ketogenic diet.

These observations offer tremendous hope, because they suggest that a ketogenic diet could bring significant relief to people with serious mental illnesses, regardless of the nature or duration of their symptoms.

It's amazing how an election loss, even as big as this one, still doesn't put a dent in the thinking that lost it.

Interesting study

Dementia got better when statins removed

Then got worse again when statins restarted

Lifestyle is the most powerful health intervention that most of us will experience in our lifetime.

It's never too late to get healthier if you have the right information about nutrition.

Trying to have this discussion with a doctor or friend fully entrenched in the old way of thinking is quite the ordeal.

[Benjamin Bikman @BenBikmanPhD]

There is a particular irony in the fact that the most commonly used drug to reduce the risk of heart disease (very debated!), statins, happens to increase the single greatest risk factor--insulin resistance.

The evidence keeps adding up, including this newly published report: https://t.co/oNbw66rdV7

Statins should be used with far, far more caution than they currently are.

The single most important thing we can do is fix the US Dietary Guidelines--the most powerful lever affecting what Americans think is healthy (and what is fed in schools, on military bases, & all federal programs).

The Guidelines have failed us:

Higher consumption of ultra-processed foods is associated with higher odds of persistent depression and higher risk of incident depression over 8 years of follow-up.

Mental and metabolic health are inseparable.
