Can low carb nutritional approaches with the potential to reverse diabetes and improve mental health be made affordable and accessible to all? My son's life was returned to him after he adopted low carb nutrition to treat a psychiatric condition. Three and a half years later, he continues on a path of sound mental and physical health. Our family foundation @BaszuckiGroup now supports research and advocacy in metabolic and mental health @Metabolic_Mind. A primary stumbling block--real and perceived--for the adoption of low carb nutrition is accessibility in disadvantaged communities. Hence, we were thrilled to support endocrinologist @DrMarielaGlandt's 100-person pilot program offering low carb nutrition at a health clinic in the South Bronx. Now, leading nutrition expert and journalist Nina Teicholz @bigfatsurprise has published an in-depth report in @medpage on Dr. Glandt's progress, including interviews with participants. I invite you to read and share! Let's spread the word to individuals, families, physicians and associations like the @AmDiabetesAssn that with the right nutrition, even those living in challenging conditions can find hope for reversing diabetes, getting off insulin, and reclaiming their health. We look forward to expanding our partnership with Dr. Glandt and @OwnaHealth over time to address mental health directly. Imagine a medical system in which every physician in America read this article and began offering low carb nutrition to patients--and insurance companies reimbursed for it. We'd have a chance at reversing disease and alleviating suffering with an age-old medicine: FOOD.

Thank you @Medscape for featuring my article on low-carb diets to reverse T2 diabetes and other metabolic conditions. This article features people in the South Bronx--poorest part of NYC--adhering to a low-carb diet. Even a woman in a homeless shelter! There are no cost barriers to low-carb. Only biases. medscape.com/viewarticle/ri…
