This is a hopeful message everyone should hear this World Schizophrenia Day! #MentalHealthMatters
"I thought I would struggle with schizoaffective disorder for the rest of my life. Medical keto & metabolic therapies have put my illness into remission. We owe this possibility to every person living with mental illness."
Ketogenic therapy can be a powerful adjunctive treatment that helps counter medication side effects: Some patients are also able to reduce medications or even taper off of them entirely over time. 3 months into her journey, Lauren has reduced her meds by 60% & is symptom-free!
Check out @LivingWellwithSchizophreniato follow Lauren's journey.
Ketogenic therapy is far different from trying a keto diet. Watch Metabolic Mind's director Dr. Bret Scher give a special presentation on this topic at #CoSci 2024.
In this short, entertaining, must-watch video, Oxford PhD and Harvard medical student Nicholas Norwitz breaks down the pioneering Stanford University School of Medicine pilot study showing that ketogenic diet can treat mental illness.
As Nick so elegantly points out in this video: "Metabolic health and mental health are inextricably linked."
Metabolic Mind is a non-profit initiative of Baszucki Group working to transform the study and treatment of mental disorders by exploring the connection between metabolism and brain health. We leverage the science of metabolic psychiatry and personal stories to offer education, community and hope to people struggling with mental health challenges and those who care for them.
We envision a future in which the metabolic health of every individual is assessed and addressed with evidence-based interventions, leading to improved mental and physical health for all.
