It was a privilege to be part of the @BaszuckiGroup lived experience panel at the Global Symposium on Ketogenic Therapies with @OliverSeligman, @moira_newiss, chaired by @KirkNylen. I also presented my poster on the randomised controlled study I am leading on ketogenic diet plus coaching for ADHD and depression, at @UniofOxford. Thank you to the generosity and vision of @BaszuckiGroup for all of this and so much more that they are doing.

It was such an honor to host these three incredible human beings as they shared their stories of recovery from debilitating mental illnesses. Watch the video if you're in need of a dose of hope and inspiration. youtube.com/watch?v=kCpkxz… I was inspired by how articulate, self-aware, humble and funny Hannah, Lauren and Wesley were on stage in front of a room full of physicians and scientists in conjunction with @SOBP's annual conference in Austin. I hope the recording of our panel will inspire individuals, clinicians, researchers, advocates, funders and policy-makers to invest in metabolic strategies for restoring mental health. Please share widely! “I've tried a ton of medications, I've experienced benefits from some of them, but all of the benefits come with side effects, be it akathisia, be it lethargy, be it weight gain. And keto has had the positive side of those medications without any of the side effects. The only side effect is obviously you have to eat the diet. “ -Wesley Braden “I almost started to cry earlier when I thought about this, because it's been four and a half months and my life has completely changed....And it's a little bit difficult to wrap my head around the breadth of how it is changing my life.” -Lauren Kennedy @Radiantbeasting @LWSchizophrenia

Our science team @baszuckigroup shares a perspective in Psychology Today: It's time to put a dietary intervention on the menu for bipolar disorder. "The results of randomized controlled trials, currently underway, will be needed to persuade some psychiatrists to prescribe a ketogenic diet. But if those same psychiatrists begin to use Ozempic to counteract weight gain from psychiatric medications, maybe it’s time a dietary intervention proven to improve both mental and metabolic health in at least some patients also be put on the menu."

For many patients treating serious mental illness with a medical keto diet, having a "cheat day" can lead to serious repercussions, like psychosis or other symptoms. Ketogenic therapy is a powerful medical intervention & strict adherence is recommended.
Lauren Kennedy West@LWSchizophrenia

Do I ever cheat? People often ask if I ever have cheat days on medical keto. Here is my explanation of why I can't do that. Medical keto is a serious medical intervention, and just like skipping medications can have a harmful impact, so can straying from this therapeutic diet.

This week in Austin, Baszucki Group and Metabolic Mind hosted "The Promise of Metabolic Psychiatry: From Mechanisms to Clinical Practice" before the 2024 Society of Biological Psychiatry (SOBP) Annual Meeting. Approximately half of the attendees were unfamiliar with metabolic psychiatry and eager to explore this emerging field. Pioneering researchers and clinicians shared their work with metabolic therapies for mental illness. @janellison led a lived-experience panel with Lauren Kennedy from @LWSchizophrenia, Hannah Warren @Radiantbeasting, and Wesley Braden, who shared how ketogenic therapy transformed their lives by treating their psychiatric conditions. For more effective psychiatric treatments focused on metabolism and brain health, collaboration among researchers, clinicians, and individuals with lived experience is essential. Together, we can reshape how mental illness is understood and treated.

.@BaszuckiGroup's Managing Director of Neuroscience @KirkNylen is featured in @TheEconomist sharing the promise of #metabolicpsychiatry! econ.st/4bgPYCB Dr. Nylen shared that clinical trial results have shown "a large group of people responding in an incredibly meaningful way. These are people that have failed drugs, talk therapy, trans-cranial stimulation and maybe electroconvulsive-shock therapy." As the piece wonderfully concludes: "Biology is coming, whether psychiatry is ready or not." One of our missions at Metabolic Mind and Baszucki Group is to help the field of psychiatry transform itself thorough research and advocacy connecting metabolic and mental health.

BREAKING NEWS: Stanford study shows keto improves severe mental illness. The results of the first U.S.-based clinical trial since 1965 to examine the therapeutic effects of a ketogenic dietary intervention on serious mental illness have been published. prn.to/3U2qbHB Six and a half years ago, Dr. Shebani Sethi @ShebaniMD, a Stanford physician dual-trained in psychiatry and obesity medicine, reached out to an expert in clinical diet trials at the University of Michigan, Dr. Laura Saslow. A partnership was borne to examine the impact of ketogenic diet on serious mental illness. The fruits of those efforts have now been announced by Stanford Medicine @StanfordMed. Supported by Baszucki Group and led by Dr. Sethi, Founding Director of the Stanford Metabolic Psychiatry Clinic and Clinical Associate Professor of Psychiatry, the study represents a significant step forward in exploring the connection between metabolism and psychiatry, and in driving toward new treatment approaches in the growing epidemic of mental illness worldwide. The study trialed a 4-month intervention of a low carbohydrate ketogenic diet with individuals diagnosed with bipolar disorder or schizophrenia who also were either overweight or met criteria for metabolic abnormalities such as insulin resistance or impaired glucose tolerance. The results offer compelling evidence of the potential benefits of ketogenic dietary therapy in this population. The dual improvements in both metabolic function and psychiatric symptoms are rare in mental healthcare, where treatments often lead to significant comorbidities, including weight gain, obesity, dyslipidemia, and cardiometabolic disease. “After we witnessed ketogenic therapy send our son’s ‘treatment resistant’ bipolar disorder into complete and lasting remission, we immediately started funding metabolic psychiatry studies like Dr. Sethi’s,” said @janellison, who co-founded @BaszuckiGroup with her husband, @davidbaszucki, CEO and founder of Roblox. “This pilot study, the first of its kind, offers hope to those living with bipolar illness and schizophrenia, and has successfully paved the way for larger trials that could establish ketogenic therapy as a safe and effective adjunctive or even first-line treatment for bipolar disorder and other serious mental illnesses.” Read the published paper: bit.ly/3TRIcsX

When our son sent his #bipolar symptoms into remission after 4 months on a ketogenic diet, there was not a single published clinical trial demonstrating this was possible. Now there is. Stanford's study, led by #MetabolicPsychiatry pioneer Dr. Shebani Sethi @ShebaniMD, demonstrates the promise of ketogenic therapy to improve both metabolic and mental health. This is a great day for everyone struggling with mental illness and the people who care for them. Let's share this widely so the field of psychiatry gets curious about this promising intervention. It's time. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Shebani Sethi, MD@ShebaniMD

I’m proud to share the results of my pilot trial investigating the therapeutic effects of a #ketogenicdiet on bipolar and schizophrenia, published in @PsychiatryResJ. 📈 We found promising improvements in BOTH metabolic and psychiatric outcomes: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

"Long story short, this last ditch effort saved my life." -- Mia Mendez, #WorldBipolarDay Ketogenic Therapy (medical keto) is helping people around the world with even severe bipolar illness reclaim their mental and physical health. On World Bipolar Day 2024, all of us at our non-profit are grateful to the five generous, resilient individuals who've shared their stories of #BipolarRemission in this 6-minute video. Psychiatric medications have their place, but for some people, #KetogenicTherapy is a helpful complement, or even a replacement, over time, for pharmaceutical treatments. As the results of the first clinical trials of ketogenic therapy for #BipolarDisorder are being published, we take this day to celebrate the clinicians, researchers and individuals who are making this new #BipolarTreatment a reality. Thank you to so many, including @DyaneHarwood, @MsMiaMendez, @robynrdobbins, @Chloe_mrng, @ChrisPalmerMD, @GeorgiaEdeMD, @ShebaniMD, @IainCampbellPhD, @KetoCounselor, @EllenhornPACT, @loricalabresemd and @KaniaZupec!
