New! 🧵 1/11 Researchers at UC San Diego are developing a novel anti-inflammatory diet for first-episode psychosis (FEP) to address inflammation and metabolic issues. Let’s dive into the details and see how this ties into ketogenic diet research for psychosis.

Precision mapping of a gut-brain circuit w/ functional impact. Glands in the small intestine (Brunner's) have GLP-1 receptors, are stress-sensitive, connect to the brain via the vagal nerve, modulate bacterial species in the gut microbiome, and regulate immunity

New meta-analysis showing that exercise improves HRV in hypertensives. No question my HRV and blood pressure substantially improved from adding more AE. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

If you have a few moments to listen to this interview as a parent with your child. Possible one of the best post race interviews I have ever watched #PlayOn

"[T]he scientists first placed the animals on a ketogenic diet, forcing the tumors to consume fats alone, and then put them on the cancer drug. In this context, the drug cut off the cancer cells’ only sustenance – and the tumors shrank." [In mice.]

High levels of inflammation throughout childhood and adolescence, peaking at age 9 years, are associated with an increased risk of psychosis, severe depression, and higher levels of insulin resistance. Mental and metabolic health are inseparable. jamanetwork.com/journals/jamap…

Excited about this RCT of the ketogenic diet compared to a diet following the Australian Guide to Healthy Eating for 14 weeks in people with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder! Do macros matter? Are there brain benefits to keto? We will soon have answers!

Immune system function and dysfunction plays a role in both metabolic and mental health. A new paradigm—mitochondria emerging as leading immune organelles.
