@BenBikmanPhD Thanks por the very clear explanation. I wonder what happens when there is a diagnosis of PCOS but the patient is not insulin resistant, at least is not reported in blood work. Is there a blood insulin level that can be related even if the HOMA ir does not show it ?
@ChrisPalmerMD@DorianG65545237 If that is in the US imagine in other countries in which low carb diets and ketogenic diets are still seen by many Doctors as FAD diets. And that makes way for misinformation and many that say to know about the subject don’t and misinform people.
@BenBikmanPhD For me it was low carb that helped resolve my IBS issues. It took some time but that has been the same with my sense of smell ( allergies gone). Recovered my taste and lowered my tolerance for sweetness. I think prioritizing protein has been a game changer.
@ChrisPalmerMD Would I be wrong thinking that we are
All neurodiverse… ?? because we are all
Different ! And of course that there are some that have difficulties that require attention, accomodations and more compassion and help than others.
BREAKING NEWS: Stanford study shows keto improves severe mental illness.
The results of the first U.S.-based clinical trial since 1965 to examine the therapeutic effects of a ketogenic dietary intervention on serious mental illness have been published.
prn.to/3U2qbHB
Six and a half years ago, Dr. Shebani Sethi @ShebaniMD, a Stanford physician dual-trained in psychiatry and obesity medicine, reached out to an expert in clinical diet trials at the University of Michigan, Dr. Laura Saslow. A partnership was borne to examine the impact of ketogenic diet on serious mental illness. The fruits of those efforts have now been announced by Stanford Medicine @StanfordMed.
Supported by Baszucki Group and led by Dr. Sethi, Founding Director of the Stanford Metabolic Psychiatry Clinic and Clinical Associate Professor of Psychiatry, the study represents a significant step forward in exploring the connection between metabolism and psychiatry, and in driving toward new treatment approaches in the growing epidemic of mental illness worldwide.
The study trialed a 4-month intervention of a low carbohydrate ketogenic diet with individuals diagnosed with bipolar disorder or schizophrenia who also were either overweight or met criteria for metabolic abnormalities such as insulin resistance or impaired glucose tolerance.
The results offer compelling evidence of the potential benefits of ketogenic dietary therapy in this population. The dual improvements in both metabolic function and psychiatric symptoms are rare in mental healthcare, where treatments often lead to significant comorbidities, including weight gain, obesity, dyslipidemia, and cardiometabolic disease.
“After we witnessed ketogenic therapy send our son’s ‘treatment resistant’ bipolar disorder into complete and lasting remission, we immediately started funding metabolic psychiatry studies like Dr. Sethi’s,” said @janellison, who co-founded @BaszuckiGroup with her husband, @davidbaszucki, CEO and founder of Roblox.
“This pilot study, the first of its kind, offers hope to those living with bipolar illness and schizophrenia, and has successfully paved the way for larger trials that could establish ketogenic therapy as a safe and effective adjunctive or even first-line treatment for bipolar disorder and other serious mental illnesses.”

@BenBikmanPhD I know this is not about your post but I have been wondering your take on what would be the benefits of experimenting and using a CGM ( not being diabetic ) to know if one is insuline sensitive and if one has metabolic fexibility. Would it be useful for those purposes? Thanks!
@BenBikmanPhD It has happened to me. And also if I do get the cold I have come to realize that if I fast I recover faster. I do take fluids specially broth and herbal teas.
@ChrisPalmerMD As a parent of two ADHD teenager and Young adult how much do you recommend a low carb and Whole Foods, excercise approach to prevent those possibilities ?
