Big moment for metabolic psychiatry and ketogenic therapy for serious mental illness. 🔗nyti.ms/4sj2WZD Today’s @nytimes piece highlights early research from Stanford University, The Ohio State University, and the University of Edinburgh — alongside the stories of individuals who have shared their lived experience here on Metabolic Mind. This kind of visibility matters. It reflects years of work by researchers and clinicians like @ChrisPalmerMD, @ShebaniMD, and @IainCampbellPhD, research funded by @BaszuckiGroup, advocates like @janellison, as well as the many people who have been willing to share their personal stories. Lived experience alone isn’t enough. Early data alone isn’t enough. But together, they point to something that must be tested, confirmed — or challenged — through high-quality science. That’s why we are excited about several RCTs currently completed or underway around the world. We need to continue efforts to advance education, public awareness and research on a scale that will require public funding. That’s how medicine moves forward. And that’s the exciting work ahead.
