"And well, one of the beautiful things about the mitochondrial theory is that it also connects psychological and social factors that we know can play a role in mental disorders and metabolic disorders.
So, childhood adversity, trauma, and stress, they all impact mitochondrial function. And we've known for many decades that they also play a role in mental disorders.
But they also play a role in things like premature cardiovascular disease. And again, the way to connect them is through mitochondria." @ChrisPalmerMD

Once upon a time, deep within the human brain, there was a bustling community of cells. Each cell had a specific job, but there was one organelle that was responsible for providing them with the energy they needed to function - the mighty mitochondria. This is a story 🧵 (1/12)
One particular mitochondrion, let's call him Mitch, was thriving and well-functioning. He was producing energy like he was supposed to, and his fellow mitochondria in the area were thriving as well. (2/12)
But then, harmful substances and behaviors started to affect him. His host sometimes smoked Cigarettes and consumed alcohol, and was too sedentary. This poisoned Mitch and killed off most of his fellow mitochondria in that area of the brain. (3/12)

Mitochondrial impairments can lead to mental illness and neurological disease. It's true! 🧵(1/9) #metabolicpsychiatry #mitochondria
Some believe the root cause of certain types of mental disorders is things like mercury or allergies. (2/9)
it's important to understand that they affect metabolism in specific ways by poisoning mitochondria or affecting regulatory cells. So it still comes back down to mitochondria (3/9) #mentalhealth

What's the state of physicians knowing about ketogenic diets are a treatment for brains? Not so good yet. 🧵 (1/5)

Two ketogenic dieticians, @KaniaZupec
and @KetoPotterRDN were both recently interviewed on BipolarCast podcast by @IainCampbellPhD and Matt Baszucki. And I think you will be interested to hear what they had to say. 🧵(1/7)
@KaniaZupec @KetoPotterRDN @IainCampbellPhD Beth and Denise, ketogenic dieticians with experience in treating pediatric epilepsy populations, have long observed the significant improvement of other medical issues alongside epilepsy, such as cognitive delays, physical mobility issues, autism, and depression. (2/7)
@KaniaZupec @KetoPotterRDN @IainCampbellPhD They have seen that, even when epilepsy remains the same, other symptoms may improve with a #ketogenic diet. (3/7)

Many people with mental health conditions rely on medications to manage their symptoms, but these medications often come with metabolic side effects like weight gain, type 2 diabetes, and sexual side effects. (1/8)
Many people complain of feeling less "bad" but also emotionally flat. As someone who does couples therapy, I can tell you these side effects come into the session with the couple.
There are costs to these side effects. (2/8)
In addition to the financial cost of medications, these side effects can come at a high quality-of-life cost, which is why many people don't stay on them, even when they're helpful. (3/8)
