We were all super excited to see Dr. Mark A Frye at the Metabolic Psychiatry Retreat put on by @janellison and @metabolic_mind this year! Let me tell you why this was a big deal for the future of #metabolicpsychiatry 🧵(1/10)
@janellison@Metabolic_Mind Dr. Mark A. Frye is a Consultant in the Department of Psychiatry & Psychology at Mayo Clinic. (2/10)
@janellison@Metabolic_Mind He is the past Chair of the Department of Psychiatry & Psychology (2010-2020) and is recognized with the distinction of the Stephen and Shelley Jackson Family Professorship in Individualized Medicine. (3/10)
@janellison@Metabolic_Mind Dr. Frye and his team established the Mayo Clinic Individualized Medicine Biobank for Bipolar Disorder to identify the underpinning mechanisms of bipolar disorder through genomic studies. (4/10)
@janellison@Metabolic_Mind As an active clinical investigator, he has received research support from NIMH, NIAAA, Mayo Foundation, Brain & Behavior Research Foundation, and industry partners and has published more than 410 peer-reviewed papers. (5/10)
@janellison@Metabolic_Mind Dr. Frye is the President of the National Network of Depression Centers (NNDC), a network of 23 academic centers of excellence collaborating in clinical innovation, research, and education. (6/10)
@janellison@Metabolic_Mind He is also the Scientific Advisory Board Vice-Chair of the Depression Bipolar Support Alliance (DBSA), a leading national organization mission-driven to improve the lives of people who live with mood disorders. (7/10)
@janellison@Metabolic_Mind I saw him on one of the planes I took to get home, and we basically high-fived each other and talked about how excited we were about doing these studies and improving access to care! I found him to be awesome! (8/10)
@janellison@Metabolic_Mind This is someone who also wants you to know all the ways you can feel better! I couldn't find him on Twitter, but you can learn more about him here! (10/10) mayo.edu/research/facul…

Did you know that Dr. Elena Gross was at this years' Metabolic Psychiatry Retreat hosted 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 Elena! 🧵(1/7)
@janellison@Metabolic_Mind Dr. Elena Gross has a BSc in Psychology (University of York), an MSc in Neuroscience (University of Oxford), and PhD in Clinical Research (University of Basel). She is the founder and CEO/CSO of KetoSwiss AG. (2/7)
@janellison@Metabolic_Mind Elena used to be a chronic migraine patient, and due to the lack of tolerable and efficacious treatment options, she pursued an MSc in Neuroscience (University of Oxford), where she discovered the key role of metabolism in migraine. (3/7)
Would you like to read about a case report in which a ketogenic diet resolved lifelong asthma symptoms? 🧵(1/22)
The case study is about a 32-year-old man from Saudi Arabia who is an English teacher, married with two children, and has a history of obesity and bronchial asthma since childhood. (2/22)
Shortness of breath, cough, and audible wheezing chest were usual symptoms during his asthma exacerbations. His asthma triggers were seasons transitions, exercise, animals like horses, and some fruit like melons. (3/22)
The tides are turning, and people are taking charge of their health like never before! With big pharma falling short, we're in a renaissance of exploring all the ways we can feel better. #metabolicpsychiatry#neurotwitter
Ketone body metabolism has shown promising potential for enhancing wellness and ameliorating disease, including mental illness and neurological disorders.
There's so much more to learn about the power of ketone body metabolism, but the growing interest is an amazing sign for the future of healthcare.
Did you know that Judith Ford, PhD attended this year's Metabolic Psychiatry Retreat put on by @janellison and @Metabolic_Mind? Why is that amazing? I am going to tell you! 🧵(1/7)
@janellison@Metabolic_Mind Dr. Judith Ford has a PhD in neuroscience from Stanford University. She is a Distinguished Research Career Scientist at the San Francisco VA Health Care System and a Professor at the University of California, San Francisco. (2/7)
@janellison@Metabolic_Mind She uses brain imaging methods, both electrophysiology (EEG) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), to ask about brain-related illnesses characterized by psychosis. (3/7)
Mitochondria and ketone bodies play important roles in the regulation of redox potential, and together they can help heal your brain. 🧵(1/12)
Mitochondria are the primary site of energy production within cells, and they play a crucial role in the regulation of redox balance. (2/12)
During energy production, electrons are transferred from electron donors to electron acceptors and can lead to the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). (3/12)
@janellison@Metabolic_Mind I am pretty sure everyone knows who @DominicDAgosti2 is, but just in case you are new to the space, I need you to know the level of brain power in your corner! (2/7)
@janellison@Metabolic_Mind@DominicDAgosti2 Dr. Dominic D’Agostino is a tenured Associate Professor at the University of South Florida (USF) Morsani College of Medicine in the Department of Molecular Pharmacology and Physiology. (3/7)
