I struggled with treatment-resistant mental health symptoms for two decades. Now living a new life thanks to metabolic therapies. @chrispalmermd @metabolic_mind
I never thought there'd be a day in which I'd be watching @DrMcFillin , @AdamUrato1 , @joannamoncrieff , @taperclinic , @LacasseJeffrey , and David Healy speak at the @US_FDA about the risks of taking SSRIs in pregnancy but here we are. Cheek-pinching moment. What a time of…
LIVESTREAMING NOW: FDA Expert Panel on Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) and Pregnancy
I keep seeing dietitians say things like, “all foods fit,” “you shouldn’t cut out food groups,” or “your brain needs carbs to function.” That kind of advice kept me sick for years. It’s hard not to speak out when you know your depression, anxiety, OCD, and just your general…
Less than 3 more years until I can… …continue not eating this crap.
Signs You’re Becoming Metabolically Healthy : You don’t crash after meals You move through the day without sugar fixes You take stairs without panting You’re not ruled by cravings or snack breaks You sleep deeper, wake up sharper Your energy lasts longer than your meetings
Today’s the Day: My Book Crossing Zero is Out! After a decade of clinical work, research, and careful thinking, the English edition of my book "Crossing Zero: The Art and Science of Coming off – and Staying off – Psychiatric Drugs" is finally out today. Available now on Amazon,…
This is why trust has been so badly damaged. Most docs won’t say SSRI’s are “safer than tic tacs” but they will deny the reality of just how bad the side effects can be and how debilitating withdrawal often is.
Someone on my substack comments was told by her physician that SSRIs are “safer than tic tacs.” She’s 11 years into SSRI withdrawal having lost “my career, my marriage, my finances, for many years I was housebound.”
🧠 Does a ketogenic diet impact cortisol levels and adrenal health? Cortisol often gets labeled as the “stress hormone,” but its role in human physiology is far more nuanced. Some claim that ketosis may harm adrenal function or lead to “adrenal fatigue.” But what does the…

If you need psychiatric help do it this way.
I’m so excited to launch MH², a new model of health care… Where mental health meets metabolic health! I couldn’t be more proud of our team. mh2.health

If you cut carbs, getting 100g of protein isn’t hard- and I only eat twice a day. I actually have to work to keep my protein lower to maintain my ketone levels.
trying to get 100g of protein every day is the worst thing that’s ever happened to me
Your body is not failing you or malfunctioning It’s communicating. It just needs the right support
🧠 Food cravings = brain circuit overload. 🔥 Glutamate: “Eat now!” 🛑 GABA: “Let’s pause…” If GABA is low, intrusive food thoughts take over. #Ketogenictherapy may help - it restores the GABA/Glutamate balance 🧠 #foodaddiction #metabolicpsychiatry
Most people with PTSD or ADHD don’t just struggle with one thing. They struggle with everything: mood, focus, energy, food, sleep. A fragmented treatment approach won't fix a systemic problem. Ketogenic therapy has promise. #metabolicpsychiatry frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…
There’s so many great resources available- @GeorgiaEdeMD’s book is the perfect companion to Brain Energy. Also check out @Metabolic_Mind. My friend, @MsMiaMendez offers coaching and support groups. Good luck to you!
I finished "Brain Energy" and felt like it didn't have enough information on action steps to take. What resources would you recommend next on implementing the ideas discussed in "Brain Energy"?
Actually, keto doesn’t mask metabolic dysfunction, it targets it at the root. Ketones improve mitochondrial efficiency, reduce oxidative stress, and lower insulin. It’s not a hack - it’s a metabolic reset. You don’t suppress symptoms by restoring fuel systems. You heal them.
Ketones are a great fuel for the heart. As much as I often state that the brain loves ketones (it does, using them readily), the heart may be a close second in its affection for ketones. But in this case, it may be less a matter of preference and more a matter of desperation.…
BDNF is a key protein that plays a role in many aspects of brain health and function. Research has linked low BDNF levels to mental illness and cognitive decline. 🧠 Interestingly, one of the ways some psychiatric medications work is by increasing BDNF. Exercise is also a known…
Study: a ketogenic diet significantly increases blood flow to the brain in comparison to a standard diet. Most low carbers know how this feels. It's the proverbial mental clarity that many say has cured their depression and even drastically improved schizophrenia in others.
Ketosis is the best antidepressant I’ve found and believe me I’ve tried most of them.
“Sometimes the best medicine is what you stop eating” Amen
A woman suffered 10 years of arthritic hand pain. One week after cutting out sugar, refined carbs, and going low carb—pain gone. No drug can compete with the power of real food and the right choices. Sometimes the best medicine… is what you stop eating.
