It is an evidence-based and strategic nutritional intervention to rescue mood, cognitive functioning, and basically all-around metabolic function. (2/6)
Some people will need to restrict carbohydrates to treat chronic illnesses of the brain and the body. And they don't need misinformed mental health counselors scaring them and telling them they are going to develop an eating disorder. (3/6)
A lot of #psychologists #therapists #MFT #LMHC #counselors and #eatingdisorder "specialists" are going to need to up their game and learn about (4/6)
nutritional biochemistry or familiarize themselves with the literature on its effects as a treatment of many disease states, including mental illness. (5/6)
Our highest ethical principle is to Do No Harm. You scaring your overweight or mood-disordered patient by spreading outdated information and models of eating disorders will do EXACTLY THAT. (6/6) #just saying #levelup
