Did you know that Iain Campbell, PhD was at this years' Metabolic Psychiatry Retreat put on by @janellison and @Metabolic_Mind? I want you to know about some of the people bringing #metabolicpsychiatry to the masses through their work! So it's time to learn about Iain 🧵(1/8)
@janellison @Metabolic_Mind Iain Campbell is the Baszucki Research Fellow in Metabolic Psychiatry at the University of Edinburgh. (2/8)
@janellison @Metabolic_Mind He is a co-principal investigator and the PPI Lead on a pilot trial of a ketogenic diet for bipolar disorder at The Division of Psychiatry within the Centre for Clinical Brain Sciences. (3/8)
@janellison @Metabolic_Mind Many of you already follow Iain and know he has lived experience of Bipolar Disorder Type 2 and has experienced the benefits of ketogenic metabolic therapy for over 7 years. (4/8)
@janellison @Metabolic_Mind He has published papers in Translational Psychiatry, The Journal of Global Health, BJ Psych Open, The Journal of Infectious Diseases, and the Journal of Medical Hypotheses on bipolar disorder, metabolism, and on public engagement. (5/8)
@janellison @Metabolic_Mind Iain has spoken at many conferences and will present at a Symposium on Ketogenic Diet and Bipolar Disorder at the International Society of Bipolar Disorders Conference 2023. (6/8)
@janellison @Metabolic_Mind He presented some preliminary data with another researcher on the aforementioned pilot trial, and we were all just blown away. I will be sure to share it when it is published! (7/8)

Migraine, a common neurological disorder, may be a metabolic as much as a neurological disease, with the migraine attack serving as a warning signal to increased oxidative stress and/or hypometabolism. (1/21) #neurotwitter #hypometabolism
Despite being primarily studied in terms of neuro-vasculature and neurotransmission, recent research suggests that migraine's pathogenic mechanisms may be linked to metabolism and mitochondrial dysfunction. (2/21) #mitochondria
Magnetic resonance spectroscopy studies have consistently shown decreased ATP levels and abnormal mitochondrial function in migraineurs, suggesting a metabolic component to the disorder. (3/21)

Some of you are under the mistaken understanding that the mechanism of improvement in the ketogenic diet is just simply improved nutrient intake and eating a whole foods diet with lots of fruits and vegetables. (1/7)
And I need you to understand this is not the case. Yes, improved nutrition is good for the brain. But that alone does not stop seizures, and it does not improve metabolism in the brain to the level needed to treat mental illness. (2/7)
If you have been doing "all the right things" regarding nutrition with little improvement in mood and cognitive symptoms, you may want to consider a ketogenic diet. It is a powerful metabolic therapy for the brain. (3/7)

We are discovering exciting things about how therapeutic nutritional ketosis could benefit those living with serious mental illnesses. It's time for a short thread about two main ways this could be happening. 🧵 (1/13)
First is the direct effect of ketones. Scientific studies have shown that people with serious mental illnesses often have trouble using glucose efficiently for fuel. Ketones supply fuel that doesn't depend on insulin or the cell's ability to metabolize glucose. (2/13)
By providing the brain with this alternative fuel source, ketones can help enhance energy production and improve cognitive function in people with serious mental illnesses. (3/13) #lifechanging

Some of you have adolescents in your household. I am here to tell you that adolescence is a time of increased micronutrient and nutrient needs. 🧵(1/10)
They are not going to make it through adolescence unscathed if they are still relying on their 2-year-old diets of highly processed chicken nuggets and fish sticks. (2/10)
They are sucking down fructose-laden drinks and high glycemic foods, further depleting them of micronutrient stores like magnesium and thiamine. These highly processed foods are displacing the intake of nutrient-rich and bioavailable sources of nutrients. (3/10)
