1/ Today, @alicegcallahan from the New York Times @nytimes published an article on ketogenic diets and serious mental illness. It feels fitting. (link below) It was exactly ten years ago today that our son @matthewbaszucki, at age 19, was involuntarily admitted to Stanford's psychiatric hospital for manic psychosis. After a diagnosis of Bipolar I and a five year battle with debilitating symptoms, he found @ChrisPalmerMD and started ketogenic and metabolic therapies. His symptoms have been in remission since early 2021, and today, he is still in ketosis and is thriving. I just had the pleasure of watching Matthew present his story on stage at @realCSF's #CoSci26 conference in Las Vegas. His health, vitality, confidence and insight brought me to tears. He also participated on a panel about his experience with other inspiring individuals @DrEricRodgers @robynrdobbins who appear in our upcoming film from @wideeyetv @jenisenhart @realDaveFeldman, The Cholesterol Code, which premiered last Saturday and received a well-deserved standing ovation. (link below) The Times article highlighted three of our family foundation @BaszuckiGroup's funded published studies (Stanford, The Ohio State University, and U. Edinburgh) and the stories of two individuals who, like our son, found hope in ketogenic therapy and who have generously shared their stories and strategies with @Metabolic_Mind's THINK+SMART program (links below). My fifth decade started as the hardest of my life and ended as the most rewarding. I am deeply grateful to the work of metabolic psychiatry pioneers @ChrisPalmerMD @GeorgiaEdeMD @SethiSheba74345 and others who made my son's healing possible, to the researchers around the world studying the connection between metabolic and mental health, and to our entire team at Baszucki Group and Metabolic Mind for their dedication to this cause. We're on the brink of a new era in the treatment of mental illness. Godspeed to the ongoing research, clinical adoption, and sharing of personal stories that could help tens of millions of people around the world.
A short guide to ordering carnivore at McDonald's: Walk in. Go to the counter or the screen. Order double cheeseburger. Say "no bun." If you want to be precise, say "no cheese either." Receive beef patties. Eat beef patties. This guide is complete. There is no advanced version. What you get is perfectly carnivore. The patties are 100% beef. Comes from a grass-fed cow. Not cooked in seed oils. Don't listen to the gatekeepers who think everything needs to come in the form of a panda-massaged ribeye.
In today’s Ketobiography episode, the 3rd interview The Cholesterol Code Movie series, my husband Matt (aka the “pointless extra”) shares what it was really like to live through my bipolar disorder, years of heavy meds, and a broken mental‑health system—and why he didn’t walk away. This is the one is especially emotional. He told me things that I didn’t even know. Many of you have asked to hear his side of the story, and here’s your opportunity to hear it straight from his mouth. We often overlook the families and caregivers, but I know that without him as my rock, I wouldn’t have this second chance at life. @MattDobbins5 @wideeyetv @realDaveFeldman #CholesterolCodeMovie #Ketobiography #familyhealth #caregivers #mentalhealth #metabolichealth #bipolar #lowcarb #keto youtu.be/s9Q-Y8Evge0

In 1953, Ancel Keys published a paper showing a relationship between dietary fat consumption and heart disease mortality across six countries. The relationship was striking. The graph was compelling. The problem: Keys had data from twenty-two countries. He selected six. The six that supported his hypothesis. If you plot all twenty-two countries, the relationship disappears. This was pointed out at the time, by Yerushalmy and Hilleboe in 1957, in the American Journal of Public Health. Keys was aggressive in dismissing the criticism. He was influential enough to make it stick. He later chaired the committee that wrote the American Heart Association dietary guidelines. The guidelines blamed fat. The guidelines became government policy. The government policy became the food pyramid. The food pyramid became what your grandmother was told to eat. It began with a man who had twenty-two data points and published six. Everything downstream: the statins, the low-fat products, the LDL obsession, the dietary guidelines your doctor is still referencing, traces back to that selection. Cherry-picking doesn't usually have this kind of legacy. This one did.
